The Threshold of Eternity (El siglo 3)

Edge of Eternity closes this great trilogy and chronicles a turbulent century. In it we live the intimate and personal history of three generations of five families whose lives were marked by two world wars, the Russian Revolution, the Spanish Civil War and the Cold War, along with the profound social changes that accompanied them.

Third volume of "The Century" trilogy

In 1961, Rebecca Hoffmann, a teacher in East Germany and Lady Maud's granddaughter, discovers that the secret police are watching her. Meanwhile, her younger brother, Walli, dreams of fleeing to the West to become a rock musician.

On the other hand, Georges Jakes, a young lawyer working with the Kennedy brothers, is an activist in the civil rights movement for black people in the United States who will participate in protests in the Southern states and in the march on Washington led by Martin Luther King.

In Russia, political inclinations pit siblings Tania and Dimka Dvorkin against each other. The latter becomes one of the Kremlin's rising stars while his sister joins an activist group that promotes insurrection.

Through shocking scenes and fascinating protagonists, Ken Follett presents us with a world we thought we knew but which will never seem the same to us again.

"The Century" trilogy is the story of my grandparents and yours, of our parents and of our own lives. In a way, it is the story of all of us."
