“[A] well-researched, beautifully detailed portrait of the late Middle Ages . . . Follett’s no-frills prose does its job, getting smoothly through more than a thousand pages of outlaws, war, death, sex, and politics to end with an edifice that is as well constructed and solid as Merthin’s bridge.” —The Washington Post “Follett tells a story that runs the gamut of life in the Middle Ages, and he does so in such a way that we are not only captivated but also educated. What else could you ask for?” —The Denver Post “So if historical fiction is your meat, here’s a rare treat. A feast of conflicts and struggles among religious authority, royal governance, the powerful unions (or guilds) of the day, and the peasantry . . . With World Without End, Follett proves his Pillars may be a rarity, but it wasn’t a fluke.” —New York Post “A work that stands as something of a triumph of industry and professionalism.” —The Guardian (UK) “The four well-drawn central characters will captivate readers as they prove to be heroic, depraved, resourceful, or mean. Fans of Follett’s previous medieval epic will be well rewarded.” —The Union (CA) “Populated with an immense cast of truly remarkable characters . . . this is not a book to be devoured in one sitting, tempting though that might be, but one to savor for its drama, depth, and richness.” —Library Journal “Readers will be captivated.” —Publishers Weekly

Während der Gotik sind viele der weltweit bekanntesten Meisterwerke des Himmlischen Jerusalem entstanden, die die abendländische Kunst für Jahrhunderte beeinflussen sollten. Zurecht denkt man zunächst an die beeindruckenden Fresken von San Francesco in Assisi von der Hand des Malers Cenni di Peppo, bekannt auch als Cimabue. Niccolo Polani ist ein anderer Meister aus Italien, der eine Ausgabe der „Civitate Dei“ des Kirchenlehrers Augustinus mit einem Neuem Jerusalem verzierte. Oder man erinnert sich an das Westportal der Kathedrale von Amiens, die in der Kunstwissenschaft als eine der zentralen Sakralbauten der Gotik gilt. Ausdrücklich erwähnt werden soll auch die Krypta des Kollegiums von Saint-Bonnet-le-Château (Loire), von deren prächtigen Wandmalereien vom Beginn des 15. Jahrhunderts der Maler bekannt ist: Louis Vobis. Ein anderer ist Claes Brouwer, der kurz danach in den Niederlanden eine Historienbibel bebilderte. In Spanien arbeiteten Jean Bapteur, Peronet Lamy und Jean Colombe an einer Apokalypseausgabe für den Herzog von Savoyen, die heute als eine der Schätze der Bibliothek des Escorial nur ausgewählten Besuchern gezeigt wird. Darüber hinaus erscheint das Neue Jerusalem in zahlreichen Handschriften: in der Tanner-Apokalypse, in der Bodleian-Apokalypse, in der Trinity College Apokalypse, in der Lambeth-Apokalypse, in der Apokalypse von Abingdon, in der Burckhardt-Wildt-Apokalypse, in der Greenfield-Apokalypse, in der Corpus-Apokalypse und auch in der Lincoln-Apokalypse. In ganz Europa waren es aber die Wandfresken, die den gläubigen Massen das Neue Jerusalem vor Augen führten. Besonders schöne Beispiele findet man in Deutschland in der Dorfkirche Kalkwitz oder in St. Johann Baptist in Brechten (Dortmund), in England in Oddingtons St Nicholas oder in der Guild-Chapel of the Holy Cross zu Stratford, in Frankreich in Sainte-Anne in Cazeaux de Larboust oder in der Kapelle Sant Antonio Abate im Ort Jouvencieaux im piemontesischen Sauze d’Oulx; in Italien in der Kirche der Franziskanerabtei Pomposa oder Santa Maria Novella in Florenz. In der Gotik hatte fast jede Kirche eine Darstellung dieses Themas, aber nur wenige Arbeiten haben die Kriegszüge, die Umwelteinflüsse, die veränderten Moden, die Abriss- und Neubauwut und schließlich den natürlichen Verfall, dem alles unterliegt, bis heute überstehen können.

“Nutball funny. . . . A ‘classic’ medieval melodrama that sounds like all the Saturday serials you ever saw feverishly reworked by the Marx Brothers.”—Newsweek A tale of true love and high adventure, pirates, princesses, giants, miracles, fencing, and a frightening assortment of wild beasts that is a modern storytelling classic, now available as a limited Olive Edition from Harper Perennial. As Florin and Guilder teeter on the verge of war, Princess Buttercup is devastated when her one true love dies at sea. But instead of being able to grieve in peace, she finds herself kidnapped by a mercenary and his henchmen, then rescued by a pirate, then forced to marry Prince Humperdinck, and finally rescued once again by the very crew who absconded with her in the first place. In the course of this dazzling adventure, she'll meet Vizzini—the criminal philosopher who’ll do anything for a bag of gold; Fezzik—the gentle giant; Inigo—the Spaniard whose steel thirsts for revenge; and Count Rugen—the evil mastermind behind it all. Foiling all their plans is Westley, Buttercup's true love who survived after all, and became a very good friend to a very dangerous pirate. The Princess Bride was unforgettably depicted in the 1987 cult classic film directed by Rob Reiner and starring Fred Savage, Robin Wright, Billy Crystal, Mandy Patinkin, Wallace Shawn, Cary Elwes, and other actors.
