Cinco famílias, cinco países e cinco destinos marcados por um período dramático da história. Queda de Gigantes, o primeiro volume da trilogia O Século, começa no despertar do século XX, quando ventos de mudança ameaçam o frágil equilíbrio de forças existente - as potências da Europa estão prestes a entrar em guerra, os trabalhadores não aguentam mais ser explorados pela aristocracia e as mulheres clamam por seus direitos. De maneira brilhante, Follett constrói sua trama entrelaçando as vidas de personagens fictícios e reais. O resultado é uma envolvente lição de história, contada da perspectiva das pessoas comuns, que lutaram nas trincheiras da Primeira Guerra Mundial, ajudaram a fazer a Revolução Russa e tornaram real o sonho do sufrágio feminino.
