The Century Trilogy: An epic of Follett
proportions

By Kevin Nance September 7, 2012

Well before blockbuster movies, there were
blockbuster novels: big, juicy, page-turning
epics, with dozens of characters, exotic settings
and multiple plots playing out over several
years, often against the backdrop of some
extended historical conflict. Tolstoy largely
invented the form in 1869 with “War and
Peace,” and by the middle of the 20th century,
its latter-day stalwarts — including James
Jones, Herman Wouk and the tireless fiction
factory known as James Michener — bestrode
the bestseller lists like the titans they were.
In recent years, however, the form has fallen
somewhat out of favor with writers, if not
with readers. Who wants to spend so much
time, day in and day out, with the same set
of protagonists? Who wants to do all that
research? Who has the nerve, not to mention
the patience, to keep all those narrative balls
in the air over hundreds of pages?

Ken Follett, actually. At 63, the Welsh author
is one of the last Mohicans of the form, having
traded his highly successful thrillers (“Eye of
the Needle,” “The Key to Rebecca”) for the
multigenerational historical saga in 1989’s
“The Pillars of the Earth” (adapted as a Starz
miniseries in 2010) and its sequel, 2007’s
“World Without End,” which premieres as a
miniseries on Reelz next month.
