"L'inverno del mondo" rappresenta il secondo capitolo di The Century, la trilogia incentrata sulla storia del ventesimo secolo proposta da Ken Follett. In questo secondo episodio, che si apre nella Berlino del 1933 durante l'ascesa politica di Adolf Hitler, i personaggi de "La caduta dei giganti", il primo romanzo ambientato durante la prima guerra mondiale, passano il testimone ai loro figli. Nella narrazione si intrecciano le storie di cinque famiglie, una americana, una tedesca, una russa e due inglesi. Il destino di queste famiglie è indissolubilmente legato al corso della storia, un cammino insanguinato fatto di giochi di potere che dalla prima guerra mondiale conduce inesorabilmente verso il secondo conflitto. La narrazione si sposta continuamente tra Inghilterra, Russia, Francia, America, Galles e Spagna, seguendo gli eventi più importanti, gli episodi cruciali che hanno scritto la storia del mondo nel lasso di tempo che va dall'avvento del nazismo fino all'inizio della guerra fredda. Ken Follett anche in questo secondo episodio segue la sua classica ricetta dell'intrattenimento: un'ambientazione storica scrupolosa, un ritmo incalzante, un intreccio coinvolgente e personaggi realistici che emergono dalla narrazione con i loro desideri, le loro ambizioni e tutta la loro umanità. "L'inverno del mondo", di Ken Follett, è un romanzo che descrive la vita durante una delle pagine più scure e feroci della storia.
