From a Pulitzer Prize-winning critic comes an impassioned critique of the West's retreat from reason.'The Death of Truth is destined to become the defining treatise of our age' David Grann'The first great book of the Trump administration  essential reading' Rolling StoneWe live in a time when the very idea of objective truth is mocked and discounted by the US President. Discredited conspiracy theories and ideologies have resurfaced, proven science is once more up for debate, and Russian propaganda floods our screens.The wisdom of the crowd has usurped research and expertise, and we are each left clinging to the beliefs that best confirm our biases.How did truth become an endangered species? This decline began decades ago, and in The Death of Truth, former New York Times critic Michiko Kakutani takes a penetrating look at the cultural forces that contributed to this gathering storm. In social mediaand literature, television, academia, and political campaigns, Kakutani identifies the trends originating on both the right and the left that have combined to elevate subjectivity over factuality, science, and common values. And she returns us to thewords of the great critics of authoritarianism, writers like George Orwell and Hannah Arendt, whose work is newly and eerily relevant.With remarkable erudition and insight, Kakutani offers a provocative diagnosis of our current condition and presents a path forward for our truth-challenged times.

A cselekmény középpontjában egy angol arisztokrata, Fitzherbert gróf áll, akinek Elisaveta, orosz hercegnő a felesége. Miközben a gróf awalesi szénbányákban szipolyozza ki a bányászokat, kastélyában uralkodókat és diplomatákat lát vendégül. Ezen diplomaták egyike a rejtélyes Walter von Ulrich gróf, a német követség attaséja, aki beleszeret a gróf szabadgondolkodású húgába. A vendégekközt több különös alak is felbukkan. Egyikük Wilsonnak, az Egyesült Államok elnökének személyi titkára, Amerikában él egy orosz üzletember, Vyalov, akiről mindenki tudja, hogy a szesztilalmat kihasználva tett szert roppant vagyonára. Vyalov szolgálatábaszegődik, majd elcsábítja annak lányát Lev Peskov lovász, aki hamis útlevéllel vándorol ki a Petrográdból. Bátyja, Grigorij Peskov öntudatos munkás, a kommunista vitakör tagja, majd az 1917-es oroszországi forradalom egyik vezetője.

Ezeknek a világ különböző részein élő családoknak a sorsa a nagy történelmi események, elsősorban a világháború során egymásba kapcsolódik.A titánok bukása - Ken Follett többi regényéhez hasonlóan - izgalmas, mesterien felépített cselekményű regény, amely megmutatja, hogyan sodródott bele Európa és Amerika az első világégésbe.Ken Follett legújabb nagyszabású regénytrilógiájának címe: Évszázad. A három kötetben az író arra vállalkozik, hogy elmesélje a 20. század európai és amerikai történetét öt család életén keresztül, akiknek sorsa egymásba kapcsolódik, összefonódik.Az 1. kötet, A titánok bukása a 20. század első éveitől az első világháború végéig, a Párizs környéki békekötésekig terjedő időszakban játszódik.A 2. kötet, A megfagyott világ a két világháború közti időszakról és a második világháborúról szól, szereplői az 1. kötet hőseinek gyermekei.A 3. kötet pedig a következő generáció életét mondja el a hidegháború időszakában.

A könyv azokról az évekről mesél, amikor az írónak a rá kimondott fatva miatt bujkálnia kellett. A címben szereplő név is a saját, a hatóságok kérésére kreált álneve, melyet két kedvenc írója után választott magának. Így lett Joseph (Joseph Conrad után)és Anton (Csehov után).On 14 February 1989, Valentine's Day, Salman Rushdie was telephoned by a BBC journalist and told that he had been 'sentenced to death' by the Ayatollah Khomeini.

To have written a novel called TheSatanic Verses, which was accused of being 'against Islam, the Prophet and the Quran'.So begins the extraordinary story of how a writer was forced underground, moving from house to house, with the constant presence of an armed police protection team. He was asked to choose an alias that the police could call him by. He thought of writershe loved and combinations of their names
