Notre-Dame : A Short History of the Meaning of Cathedrals

For fans of the Kingsbridge series, particularly those who love The Pillars of the Earth. And those who have visited Notre-Dame Cathedral and are interested in its history and rebuilding effort. In this short, spellbinding book, international bestselling 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.
