Main contents of extended information temple fair in Spring and Autumn:
Tom's biggest dream is to build a cathedral. For this dream, he led his family to wander around looking for suitable opportunities. Another protagonist of this book is Philip, the vice president of Kingsbridge Abbey. He believes in God, and he is eager to restore the cathedral to place his faith in God, so that he can be in perfect harmony with Tom.
Architects Tom and Friar Philip form the core of this book, and a large number of little people are scattered around them, including the stupidity of Tom's eldest son Alfred, the cleverness of his youngest son Jack, the fearlessness and struggle of his second wife Allen, and the humiliation and confusion of Alaine.
The story takes this as the background, the construction of the first Gothic cathedral in the world as the warp, and the struggle for the throne and title as the weft. It depicts the conflict between politics and religion caused by the battle between good and evil, and tells a story about courage, dedication, dreams, love, suspense, greed and revenge. The power struggle mainly occurred between Maud, the daughter of the late king, and his nephew Stephen.
In order to satisfy their own self-interest, many powerful families, including Bishop family and Hamley family, participated in it. People at Kingsbridge are not interested in politicians' games. They just want the cathedral to be finished as soon as possible.
