世纪三部曲 永恒边缘 Edge of Eternity(The Century Trilogy) 作者:肯福莱特 KenFollett出版社:MacmillanUK出版日期:2015-07-02ISBN:9781447287957規格:英语/1184页/178 x 111 x 50mm/3176g 內容简介 As the decisions made in the corridors of power bring the world to the brink of oblivion, five families from across the globe are brought together in an unforgettable tale of passion and conflict during the Cold War. When Rebecca Hoffmann, a teacher in East Germany, finds herself pursued by the secret police, she discovers that she has been living a lie. Her younger brother, Walli, longs to escape across the Berlin Wall to Britain to become part of the burgeoning music scene. In the United States, George Jakes, a bright young lawyer in the Kennedy administration, is a fierce supporter of the Civil Rights movement - as is the woman he is in love with, Verena, who works for Martin Luther King, Jr. Boarding a Greyhound bus in Washington to protest against segregation, they begin a fateful journey together. Russian activist, Tania Dvorkin, narrowly evades capture for producing an illegal news sheet. Her actions are made all the more perilous as her brother, Dimka, is a rising star in the heart of the Communist Party in the Kremlin. From the deep south of America to the vast expanses of Siberia, from the shores of Cuba to the swinging streets of Sixties' London, Edge of Eternity is a sweeping tale of the fight for individual freedom in a world gripped by the mightiest clash of superpowers anyone has ever known. 作者资料 肯福莱特 KenFollett 肯福莱特(Ken Follett,1949- )是当代大师级历史小说作家。1949年6月5日出生于英国威尔士加的夫,先后在哈罗·威尔德语法学校和普尔工学院学习,1967年进入伦敦大学学院学习哲学。代表作《针眼》《圣殿春秋》等。messengerpinterestreddittelegramtwittervibervkontaktewhatsapp复制链接
