In this short, spellbinding book, international best-selling author Ken Follett describes the emotions that gripped him when he learned about the fire that threatened to destroy one of the greatest cathedrals in the world - the Notre-Dame de Paris. Follett then tells the story of the cathedral, from its construction to the role it has played across time and history, and he reveals the influence that the Notre-Dame had upon cathedrals around the world and on the writing of one of Follett's most famous and beloved novels, The Pillars of the Earth.

History and importance of Notre Dame.
Revisado: 02-14-21
KEN Follett wrote a beautiful history of Cathedrals and Notre-Dame in particular. As someone who loves history, this spoke to me! It also reminded me of being Notre-Dame with my parents and my brother (and a friend who was like a brother!) in 1987. Amazing memories, but also sparked my love of Cathedrals!! While I was living in England in 1990-1991, I spent many hours in the cathedrals, but in particular the Durham Cathedral. I connected spiritually with it, and historically too! This short Novella reminded me of all that connects my heart to those awesome and beautifully crafted buildings!
Thank you Mr. Follett for this reminder!

It was April 5, 1943, and the Gestapo would arrive any minute. Dietrich Bonhoeffer had been expecting this day for a long time. He had put his papers in order - and left a few notes specifically for Hitler's men to see. Two SS agents climbed the stairs and told the boyish-looking Bonhoeffer to come with them. He calmly said good-bye to his parents, put his Bible under his arm, and left. Upstairs there was proof, in his own handwriting, that this quiet young minister was part of a conspiracy to kill Adolf Hitler.

This book was so beautifully read by Mr. Verner, and Ms. McCormick treated this story with such care and emotion! This is the story of one of the hero’s of World War 2, one whose conviction of heart is awe inspiring! This is a powerful book to read!

Did you know that most of our dinosaur fossils were discovered because two grown men absolutely hated each other? It’s true! Rivals! Frenemies Who Changed the World is a riotous audio exclusive, like if Monty Python taught your history class. Each volume of four 30-minute histories will dig into the petty name-calling and grumbling grudges that led to many of the world’s greatest advancements, all delivered with a cheeky sense of humor. Choose sides: Cope or Marsh, the jerks who discovered so many dinosaurs; Hamilton or Burr, whose rivalry fueled American politics; and many more....
