BBC World Service - World Book Club, Jeffrey Archer - Kane and Abel

British author Jeffrey Archer discusses his novel Kane and Abel.

British author Jeffrey Archer discusses his novel Kane and Abel with presenter Harriett Gilbert and the World Book Club audience.

This month World Book Club is in the BBC Radio Theatre and is talking to one of the most popular and widely read British novelists, Jeffrey Archer, about his stunningly successful novel Kane and Abel. 

William Lowell Kane and Abel Rosnovski, one the son of a Boston millionaire, the other a penniless Polish immigrant are two ambitious men born on the same day on opposite sides of the world. 

Their paths are destined to cross in the ruthless struggle to build a fortune and an empire. Fuelled by their all-consuming hatred for one another, over 60 years and three generations, through war, marriage, fortune, and disaster, Kane and Abel battle for the success and triumph that only one man can have.
