Taking the title and the story based on the Biblical sons of Adam, British author Jeffrey Archer presents an internationally successful novel, Kane and Abel. The book was first published in 1979 in the United Kingdom and the American edition was released in the following year. In the US, it topped New York Times bestseller list. In 2003, in The Big Read survey by BBC, the book was listed at 96.
The novel tells about two men born on the opposite sides of the world. They live in literally different worlds, with nothing in common except their date of birth. William Lowell Kane is from a rich and powerful family, while Abel Rosnovski (born Wladek Koskiewicz) is from a poor family in Poland who eventually immigrates to the US. Both are ambitious and would do almost everything to stand at the top of the world, and their journeys in fulfilling their ambitions—and also probably fates—bring them together. Through three generations of their families in more than sixty years, Kane and Abel go through a battle for the ultimate success and triumph.
Born on the same day near the turn of the century on opposite sides of the world, both men are brought together by fate and the quest of a dream. These two men -- ambitious, powerful, ruthless -- are locked in a relentless struggle to build an empire, fuelled by their all-consuming hatred. 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.
