When Giants Tumble: A World Forever Changed
The early 20th century witnessed an unprecedented collision of empires, ideologies, and social orders that would forever alter human history. In the Welsh mining town of Aberowen, thirteen-year-old Billy Williams descends into the suffocating darkness of a coal pit for his first day of work. Abandoned in complete blackness by a vindictive supervisor, Billy sings hymns to comfort himself until rescued-earning the nickname "Billy-with-Jesus." Meanwhile, across Europe, aristocrats enjoy their final moments of splendor. At the Welsh estate of Earl Fitzherbert, King George V and Queen Mary are honored guests at an opulent dinner where fine wines and political discussions flow freely. This stark contrast-between a boy fighting for survival underground and the glittering wealth above-captures the fundamental inequality that defined pre-war society, a world poised on the edge of catastrophe.
