Fall of Giants

在第一次世界大战的硝烟中，每一个迈向死亡的生命都在热烈地生长——威尔士的矿工少年、刚失恋的美国法律系大学生、穷困潦倒的俄国兄弟、富有英俊的英格兰伯爵，以及痴情的德国特工…

从充满灰尘和危险的煤矿到闪闪发光的皇室宫殿，从代表着权力的走廊到爱恨纠缠的卧室，五个家族迥然不同又纠葛不断的命运逐渐揭晓，波澜壮阔地展现了一个我们自认为了解，但从未如此真切感受过的20世纪。

It is 1911. The Coronation Day of King George V. The Williams, a Welsh coal-mining family is linked by romance and enmity to the Fitzherberts, aristocratic coal-mine owners. Lady Maud Fitzherbert falls in love with Walter von Ulrich, a spy at the German Embassy in London.

Their destiny is entangled with that of an ambitious young aide to U.S. President Woodrow Wilson and to two orphaned Russian brothers, whose plans to emigrate to America fall foul of war, conscription and revolution. In a plot of unfolding drama and intriguing complexity, “Fall Of Giants” moves seamlessly from Washington to St Petersburg, from the dirt and danger of a coal mine to the glittering chandeliers of a palace, from the corridors of power to the bedrooms of the mighty.
