Ken Follett Forfatter
Her kan du læse mere om en af tidens store bestsellerforfattere.
Ken Follett (1949-) er forfatter til en række storsælgende thrillers og historiske romaner, hvoraf mange kender hans serie Kingsbridge, med samme navn på engelsk, der startede med Jordens søjler og efterfølgende blev fulgt op med bl.a. Uendelige verden og Lysets våben.
Han er derudover også kendt for Century-trilogien, der på engelsk går under samme navn, og fortællingen om Stonehenge i Stenkredsen, på engelsk Circle of Days.
Ken Folletts forfatterskab er kendetegnet ved hans evne til at væve komplekse historier, der både underholder og oplyser læserne. Hans grundige research og sans for detaljer gør, at læserne ikke blot får en spændende fortælling, men også en indføring i de historiske perioder, han beskriver. Follett formår at skabe levende karakterer, der trods deres historiske kontekst, fremstår tidløse og relaterbare.
Follett har en unik evne til at kombinere fakta og fiktion, hvilket gør hans bøger både lærerige og underholdende. Hans værker er oversat til adskillige sprog, og hans globale succes vidner om hans evne til at ramme noget universelt i sine fortællinger.
I sine bøger demonstrerer han en stor viden om de historiske perioder, han dykker ned i, ikke mindst middelalderen og tiden omkring 2. Verdenskrig. Sammen med en tæft for store, medrivende historier og et livligt sprog har det gjort ham til en højt skattet forfatter, der på verdensplan har solgt over 100 millioner bøger.
