内容简介
Ken Follett’s Fall of Giants, the first novel in the extraordinary historical epic Century Trilogy, was an international sensation, acclaimed as “sweeping and fascinating, a book that will consume you for days or weeks” (USA Today). Now Winter of the World picks up right where the first book left off, as its five interrelated families—American, German, Russian, English, and Welsh—enter a time of enormous social, political, and economic turmoil beginning with the rise of the Third Reich, through the Spanish Civil War and the great dramas of World War II, to the explosions of the American and Soviet atomic bombs and the beginning of the long Cold War.
Carla von Ulrich, born of German and English parents, finds her life engulfed by the Nazi tide, until daring to commit a deed of great courage and heartbreak....American brothers Woody and Chuck Dewar, each with a secret, take separate paths to momentous events, one in Washington, the other in the bloody jungles of the Pacific....English student Lloyd Williams discovers in the crucible of the Spanish Civil War that he must fight Communism just as hard as Fascism....Daisy Peshkov, a driven social climber, cares only for popularity and the fast set, until war transforms her life, while her cousin Volodya carves out a position in Soviet intelligence that will affect not only this war but also the war to come.

书是好书,方便携带 字迹清晰,但是包裹破损,书籍快递的包裹真是太简陋了,破了两个口子,一大一小,我的一本书差点漏出去,包裹包装差评,麻烦下次要么用纸箱,要么用结实的塑料袋。还有 请下次合理预估贵公司的送货速度,第二天能送到我很满意,既然当天送不到,请不要在订单上写着当天送达了

书有点旧,封面上都是折痕,京东也确实就一个塑料袋子,什么保护措施也没有,不过看在价格便宜,算了……
