    World Without End

    Ken Follett · 1961

    En 1327, quatre enfants sont les témoins d'une poursuite meurtrière dans les bois: un chevalier tue deux soldats au service de la reine, avant d'enfouir dans le sol une lettre mystérieuse, dont le secret pourrait bien mettre en danger la couronne d'Angleterre. Depuis ce jour, le destin des enfants se trouve lié à jamais.

      It looks similar to the description of the bridge being built in "World without End" by Ken Follett. One bit that is missing from this animation is that there is no rubble placed in the water around the piers. In the book this had the all important function of preventing the foundations from being washed out by the river. Maybe that was fiction or it was too much detail for the animators since the water is not transparent.

      Brilliant indeed. Now available as a TV-series as well. And a sequel is out, World Without End: http://www.amazon.com/World-Without-End-Ken-Follett/dp/05259...
