Product Information

At last: The international bestsellera which has already sold nearly 2 million copies worldwideacomes to America! "Cathedral of the Sea," Ildefonso Falconesas mesmerizing historical novel about medieval Barcelona, was Spainas #1 bestseller for a full year. Rights have sold in thirtytwo countries to date, and comparisons to Ken Follettas "The Pillars of the Earth" are being made. Who better to bring you this international sensation than Follettas own publisher? Cathedral of the Sea follows the fortunes of the Estanyol family, from their peasant roots to a son, Arnau, who flees the land only to realize spectacular wealth and devastating problems. During Arnauas lifetime Barcelona becomes a city of light and darkness, dominated by the construction of the cityas great prideathe cathedral of Santa Maria del Maraand by its shame, the deadly Inquisition. A s a young man, Arnau joins the powerful guild of stone-workers and helps to build the church with his own hands, while his best friend and adopted brother Joan studies to become a priest. When Arnau, who secretly loves a forbidden Jewish woman named Mar, is betrayed and hauled before the Inquisitor, he finds himself faceto- face with his own brother. Will he lose his life just as his beloved "Cathedral of the Sea" is finally completed? An unforgettable fresco of a golden age in fourteenth-century Barcelona, "Cathedral of the Sea" is a story of friendship and revenge, of love and war.

1350 was a very good yera
This book is written telling of medieval life in Barcelona, simple but written on a grand scale. There are just enough details that keep you coming back to read the next life event the main character works through. The book reminds me of the Pillars’ of the Earth by Follett. I enjoyed the story and the numerous details of life, struggles, and history during this time. One life and so many lessons have been learned. The author is from Spain who is new to the US. I will try to get his next book. I wanted this book to read on the beach but have finished it before I left. I will have to get a few more books off EBay for my vacation.

He's no Ken Follett
I see the similarities, but he is no way comparable to the great story teller. So I was mislead into purchasing the book as I go through withdrawal from Follett. I will finish reading this book, but it's no way page-turner.

Life in 12th Century Spain: too horrible to see, to capivating to ignore.
This is a good, but lONG, read. It is not for the faint of heart. It presents a fairly true-to-life picture of life in 12th Century Spain. There is all the intrigue, violence, and malice of oppression of the lowly commoner by those of higher social station, wealth, royalty, and clergy. And then the conflict among those four elements of society. However, through all, there is one faint thread of love and struggle for freedom.
