ONLY -- Escultura de Ken Follett en el mundo -- Vitoria, Álava, España - Superlatives on Waymarking.com

De bronce y con un metro ochenta de estatura, la estatua representa al famoso novelista de cuerpo entero y con una mano apoyada en la barbilla.

"El escritor ha presentado su nueva novela, ‘La armadura de la luz’, en la Real Fábrica de Tapices de Madrid y ha hablado sobre la única escultura que tiene a su nombre en todo el mundo.

Es la única escultura del británico en el mundo. “Está fuera de la catedral y a mis hijos les hizo mucha gracia. Cuando les dije que iba a haber una estatua mía en Vitoria, dijeron: ‘¿Vas a ir a caballo? ¿Vas a estar desnudo?’”, comenta jocoso. La obra de Casto Solano que él mismo presentó se encuentra situada en la plaza de la Burullería."

Made of bronze and measuring six feet tall, the statue represents the famous novelist in full body with one hand resting on his chin.

"The writer has presented his new novel, 'The Armor of Light', at the Royal Tapestry Factory in Madrid and has spoken about the only sculpture that has his name in the entire world.

It is the only British sculpture in the world. “It is outside the cathedral and my children found it very funny. When I told them that there was going to be a statue of me in Vitoria, they said: 'Are you going to go on horseback? Are you going to be naked?’” he comments jokingly. The work by Casto Solano that he himself presented is located in the Plaza de la Burullería."
