Brobyggarna is the first installment in Jan Guillou's series 'The Great Century'. The story follows three brothers from western Norway who, after the loss of their father, discover their talent for engineering. Educated as railway and bridge engineers in Dresden, their lives take unexpected paths due to love, leading them to participate in construction projects in German East Africa and London, while one returns to Norway to build the railway between Oslo and Bergen. The novel explores their destinies in a century marked by faith in technological progress, just before the dramatic and bloody events of the 20th century.
