Winter is coming...

Books are full of wonderful adventures and at the same time a great tool to learn and improve another language while enjoying reading. Ken Follett, one of the most popular English writers in the world, is presenting us his trilogy The Century. After his first novel, Fall of Giants, the second volume, The Winter of the World, has been recently published. You might feel discouraged by the size of his books but I can guarantee you that his transparent prose will draw you into his vibrating plot. 


In order to discover a bit of this world, I recommend you to watch the following video where the author himself explains the synopsis of the book (you can activate the captions either in English or Spanish).
So, have you ever read any of his books? Which one? Are you already a fun of The Trilogy? What do you think it is the secret of his success?

Any comments are welcome!

  1. Great choice! Love Ken Follett books.
    Of course there is a real fan here! I've already read them and I have to say that my favourite book is the first one Fall of Giants.
    Thanks for the video!
