A cinematographic cutting
Several characteristics explain the effectiveness of the historical novels of Ken Follett:
- the quality of the historical documentation joined together for each novel. Besides the author thanks the documentalists who collated these documents.
- the “journalistic” style of writing of Ken Follett privileges detailed descriptions of the situations to the development of the psychology of the characters.
- the articulation of the novel made follow one another of the situations concerning the various characters of the intrigue. These characters, separate and without apparent report/ratio in the first chapters, approach with the wire the pages to meet in a final outcome.
- to amplify and instigate this convergence, the author modifies his cutting with the wire of the novel. The first scenes grant a complete chapter to each character, the last more and more frequently rock of character with character, expressing the increase in the tension of the action.
The narrative technique developped at the point by Ken Follet in its novels is thus perfectly contemporary. It is attached to the writing of the cinema and the televised series. Very visual narrative effects with detailed descriptions, easily memorable psychology of the characters, cutting accelerating gradually until the final outcome.
This model of novel can also approach the novels of Christian Jacq located in Egypt or even of the production of Gerard de Villiers in his series SAS.
