Ken Follett's World Without End was a global phenomenon, a work of grand historical sweep beloved by millions of readers and acclaimed by critics. Fall of Giants is his magnificent new historical epic. The first novel in The Century Trilogy, it follows the fates of five interrelated families - American, German, Russian, English, and Welsh - as they move through the world-shaking dramas of the First World War, the Russian Revolution, and the struggle for women's suffrage.

Ken Follett seemlessly weaves the complexities of relationships impacted by class, gender, nationality and politics.

In 1989 Ken Follett astonished the literary world with The Pillars of the Earth, set in 12th-century England. Readers and listeners ever since have hoped for a sequel. At last, here it is. Although the two novels may be listened to in any order, World Without End also takes place in Kingsbridge, two centuries after the townspeople finished building their exquisite Gothic cathedral. The cathedral is again at the center of a web of love and hate, greed and pride, ambition and revenge.

Myths provide the keys to truly grasping the ways that principles, rituals, codes, and taboos are woven into the fabric of a particular society or civilization. It's through myths that we can answer these and other fundamental questions: How was the universe created, and why? What is the purpose of evil? Why is society organized the way it is? How did natural features like rivers, mountains, and oceans emerge?This entertaining and illuminating course plunges you into the world's greatest myths.

If you could sum up Myth in Human History in three words, what would they be?
Interesting, meaningful, connecting
What about Professor Grant L. Voth’s performance did you like?
Very easy to listen to and well-researched with supporting evidence. He paces his speaking and uses a calm but reassuring voice which made me feel I was in the front-row of a lecture being delivered just for me.
Any additional comments?
I really enjoyed this as it re-connected me with some stories I remember as a child. I felt that I gained a better understanding of the importance of myth in our lives. It was interesting to hear common connections between societies/ cultures/ religions and how people have created stories to understand their world and phenomena within it.
