Publisher's Summary:

Epic in scope, ambitious and astonishingly good, The Tolstoy Estate proclaims Steven Conte as one of Australia's finest writers. From the winner of the inaugural Prime Minister's Literary Award, Steven Conte, comes a powerful, densely rich and deeply affecting novel of love, war and literature 'Grave, moving, engaging ... full of the flash and fire of dramatic incident, but also full of real feeling, humour and poignancy, and equipped with plenty of panache ... It deserves the widest possible readership.' The Saturday Paper In the first year of the doomed German invasion of Russia in WWII, a German military doctor, Paul Bauer, is assigned to establish a field hospital at Yasnaya Polyana - the former grand estate of Count Leo Tolstoy, the author of the classic War and Peace. There he encounters a hostile aristocratic Russian woman, Katerina Trubetzkaya, a writer who has been left in charge of the estate. But even as a tentative friendship develops between them, Bauer's hostile and arrogant commanding officer, Julius Metz, becomes erratic and unhinged as the war turns against the Germans. Over the course of six weeks, in the terrible winter of 1941, everything starts to unravel... From the critically acclaimed and award-winning author, Steven Conte, The Tolstoy Estate is ambitious, accomplished and astonishingly good: an engrossing, intense and compelling exploration of the horror and brutality of conflict, and the moral, emotional, physical and intellectual limits that people reach in war time. It is also a poignant, bittersweet love story - and, most movingly, a novel that explores the notion that literature can still be a potent force for good in our world. Shortlisted for the 2021 Walter Scott Prize Shortlisted for the Age Book of the Year Award 2021 Longlisted for the 2021 ARA Historical Novel Prize Longlisted for the 2021 Colin Roderick Award Longlist Longlisted for the 2021 Indie Book Awards 'Breathtaking ... an intelligent cinematic blockbuster. celebrating the power of literature to dissolve barriers and forge connections.' The West Australian 'Reading a book that is such a complete world, evoked in such fine detail, is almost wickedly satisfying ... Elegant, intelligent, utterly engrossing and immersive ... He reminds us that travel is always possible in the imagination even when reality goes dark and that literature always leads us towards the light.' Caroline Baum 'Steven Conte has written a sweeping historical saga spanning the second world WAR and the frigid decades of PEACE that followed; an essential novel about essential things - love's triumphs and failures, the redoubtable human spirit, and the power of literary art itself. Tolstoy, of course, is at the novel's heart, and in its very soul.' Luke Slattery, author, journalist, Books Editor of Australian Financial Review 'A riveting story of war, love and literature - Conte's prose does not miss a beat.' Jane Gleeson-White, award-winning author of Classics and Double Entry

Publisher's Summary:

LA PRECUELA DEL ÉXITO MUNDIAL LOS PILARES DE LA TIERRA En Las tinieblas y el alba, Ken Follett embarca al lector en un épico viaje que termina donde Los pilares de la Tierra comienza. Año 997, finales de la Edad Oscura. Inglaterra se enfrenta a los ataques de los galeses por el oeste y de los vikingos por el este. La vida es difícil y aquellos que ostentan algo de poder lo ejercen con puño de hierro y, a menudo, en conflicto con el propio rey. En estos tiempos turbulentos, tres vidas se entrecruzan: el joven constructor de barcos Edgar, a punto de fugarse con la mujer a la que ama, comprende que su futuro será muy diferente a lo que había imaginado cuando su hogar es arrasado por los vikingos; Ragna, la rebelde hija de un noble normando, acompaña a su marido a una nueva tierra al otro lado del mar solo para descubrir que las costumbres allí son peligrosamente distintas; y Aldred, un monje idealista, sueña con transformar su humilde abadía en un centro de saber admirado en toda Europa. Los tres se verán abocados a un enfrentamiento con el despiadado obispo Wynstan, decidido a aumentar su poder a cualquier precio. El gran maestro de la narrativa de acción y suspense nos transporta al ocaso de una época violenta y brutal y al comienzo de un nuevo tiempo en un monumental y emocionante relato de ambición y rivalidad, nacimiento y muerte, amor y odio. La crítica ha dicho... «El autor de Los pilares de la Tierra llega con un nuevo libro histórico y una preocupación muy actual.» El País «Ken Follett es, sin lugar a dudas, uno de los escritores más exitosos de la actualidad.» El Español «Sus libros crean adicción. No se leen. Se devoran.» La Voz de Asturias «Las tinieblas y el alba, la precuela de Los pilares de la Tierra, es todo un monumento (sin forma de catedral) a la integridad, el ingenio y la resiliencia contra el abuso de poder.» Esquire «Fiel a la receta con la que ha logrado tantos éxitos, Follett construye una tupida red de tramas entrelazadas en las que sus héroes solo resuelven cada uno de sus problemas para encontrar una amenaza aún mayor en la siguiente página.» eldiario.es «El escritor galés retoma el universo de su best seller Los pilares de la Tierra, que vendió más de 27 millones de copias en todo el mundo, en Las tinieblas y el alba, una esperada precuela que aborda el complejo periodo que vivió el mundo alrededor del año 1000, cuyas luchas y problemas resuenan en el presente.» El Cultural «Pasas las páginas de Las tinieblas y el alba, precuela de Los pilares de la Tierra, y sientes el mismo placer que cuando bebes un gran vaso de agua a primera hora de la mañana. Entra fácil, relaja la mente, sacia el cuerpo. Pues lo mismo con las novelas del galés.» Álvaro Colomer, Tendencias Sobre la saga Los pilares de la Tierra han dicho: «Fantástico desde todos los puntos de vista.» El Mundo «Follett es un maestro.» The Washington Post «Una obra que destaca como un triunfo del esfuerzo y la profesionalidad.» The Guardian «No hay rincón sin sorpresa ni página tediosa.» Qué leer «Sigo envidiando como el primer día la capacidad de Follett para entretener. Sus tramas funcionan siempre y te mantiene pegado a cada página.» Juan Gómez Jurado, ABC

Publisher's Summary:

Anno 2019: ancora una volta, la studiosa Lucia Balleani e l'archeologo Andrea Franciolini ci prenderanno per mano e ci guideranno attraverso gli arcani misteri della Jesi rinascimentale, tra vie, vicoli e Palazzi di un centro storico che, alle porte degli anni '20 del XXI secolo, inizia a rigurgitare dal sottosuolo antichi e importanti oggetti riferibili a epoche passate. Gli scavi archeologici di Piazza Colocci riserveranno infatti sorprese inaspettate agli occhi di tutta la popolazione jesina.Ricominciamo a seguire le vicende dei personaggi del XVI secolo attraverso le scoperte di antichi documenti e reperti archeologici da parte della giovane coppia di ricercatori dei nostri tempi. Nuovi venti di guerra ricondurranno infatti il Capitano d'armi della Regia Città di Jesi ai campi di battaglia.Dopo i primi due episodi della serie "Lo stampatore", eccoci giunti al finale, all'ultimo episodio della saga dedicata alla Jesi rinascimentale. Abbiamo lasciato Andrea quasi in punto di morte, soccorso dalla sua amata, celata sotto mentite spoglie. La trama si è trasferita a Urbino, ma di certo i nostri due eroi, Andrea Franciolini e Lucia Baldeschi, dovranno ritornare a Jesi per coronare il loro sogno d'amore. Il matrimonio dovrà essere un evento festoso e sfarzoso, e dovrà essere celebrato dal Vescovo della Città di Jesi, Monsignor Piersimone Ghislieri. Ma siamo sicuri che oscure trame, del destino e degli uomini, non riusciranno a ostacolare per l'ennesima volta l'unione tra Andrea e Lucia? I due amanti si sono ritrovati, e per nulla al mondo vorrebbero lasciarsi di nuovo. Andrea vuol finalmente far da padre alla sua bambina, Laura e, perché no, anche alla figlia adottiva di Lucia, Anna. Le bambine sono fantastiche, stanno crescendo sane e vispe nella residenza di campagna dei Conti Baldeschi, e Andrea si trova a godere della loro vicinanza. Ma venti di guerra condurranno di nuovo il Capitano d'armi della Regia Città di Jesi ai campi di battaglia. E a lasciare ben presto la tranquillità e la pace riconquistata. I Lanzichenecchi premono alle porte dell'Italia settentrionale e il Duca della Rovere, in una strana alleanza con Giovanni De' Medici, più noto come Giovanni Dalle Bande Nere, si prodigherà a evitare che le soldataglie tedesche raggiungano Firenze e persino Roma. Evitare il saccheggio della città eterna nel 1527 non sarà compito facile, né per il Duca Della Rovere, né per Giovanni dalle Bande Nere, né tantomeno per il Capitano Franciolino de' Franciolini. Seguiamo ancora una volta le vicende dei personaggi del XVI secolo attraverso le scoperte di antichi documenti e reperti archeologici della giovane coppia di ricercatori dei nostri tempi. Di nuovo, la studiosa Lucia Balleani e l'archeologo Andrea Franciolini ci prenderanno per mano e ci guideranno attraverso gli arcani misteri della Jesi rinascimentale, tra vie, vicoli e Palazzi di un centro storico che, alle porte degli anni '20 del XXI secolo, inizia a rigurgitare dal sottosuolo antichi e importanti oggetti riferibili a epoche passate.
