Synopsis

Robert Langdon, experto en simbología, recibe una llamada en mitad de la noche: el conservador del museo del Louvre ha sido asesinado en extrañas circunstancias, y junto a su cadáver ha aparecido un desconcertante mensaje cifrado. Al profundizar en la investigación, Langdom descubre que las pistas conducen a las obras de Leonardo Da Vinci… y que están a la vista de todos, ocultas por el ingenio del pintor.

Langdon une esfuerzos con la criptóloga francesa Sophie Neveu y descubre que el conservador del museo pertenecía al Priorato de Sión, una sociedad que a lo largo de los siglos ha contado con miembros tan destacados como Sir Isaac Newton, Botticelli, Victor Hugo o el propio Da Vinci, y que ha velado por mantener en secreto una sorprendente verdad histórica. Una mezcla trepidante de aventuras, intrigas vaticanas, simbología y enigmas cifrados que provocó una extraordinaria polémica al poner en duda algunos de los dogmas sobre los que se asienta la iglesia católica.

The Da Vinci Code:
While in Paris, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is awakened by a phone call in the dead of the night. The elderly curator of the Louvre has been murdered inside the museum, his body covered in baffling symbols. As Langdon and gifted French cryptologist Sophie Neveu sort through the bizarre riddles, they are stunned to discover a trail of clues hidden in the works of Leonardo da Vinci—clues visible for all to see and yet ingeniously disguised by the painter.

Even more startling, the late curator was involved in the Priory of Sion—a secret society whose members included Sir Isaac Newton, Victor Hugo, and Da Vinci—and he guarded a breathtaking historical secret. Unless Langdon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine puzzle—while avoiding the faceless adversary who shadows their every move—the explosive, ancient truth will be lost forever.

About Dan Brown

New Hampshire born author, Dan Brown, is most famous for his tremendously successful novel, The Da Vinci Code. He relates the treasure hunt sort of story within a 24-hour period of time, using themes of keys, symbols, codes, cryptography, and conspiracy theories. They also many times feature historical themes and controversial Christianity motifs. His parents involved their children in the family dynamics of using codes, cyphers, crossword puzzles, and treasure hunts to tie together math, music, and languages. Brown's growing up years gave an excellent base for his future writings.

Brown was inspired to be a writer of thrillers after reading Sidney Sheldon's novel The Doomsday Conspiracy. He became a full-time writer in 1996. Angels and Demons was his second book published and was the first novel to include the lead character, Robert Langdon. His first few novels had very little success, but the fourth novel, The Da Vinci Code proved to be one of the most popular books of all time. With that success, his first three books also became very well received with all four novels being listed on the New York Times best sellers list at one time! The next novel, The Lost Symbol, sold over 1,000,000 copies its first day.

Since Brown's books are heavily researched, it would sometimes take two years to finish a novel. In 2006 The Da Vinci Code and Inferno were adapted to screenplays, and were very controversial. Brown has stated that he has potentially twelve books in line for the future.

& I was left... STUNNED! Just, just, stunned. Incredibly, this one is the one to top when it comes to adventure & history and pace & ingenuity. I've recently noticed how much history is revered (rightfully) by the modern authors. This is a different type of historical immersion. This is about bringin......more

Goodreads review by Sean Barrs on July 03, 2018

Dan Brown writes trash, but sometimes trash can have a certain allure. Sometimes trash sucks you in as you feel forced to reach the bottom of the rubbish pile and see what secrets it may be hiding. And that’s the strongest aspect of his writing, the pull. Say what you want about the crazily outlandi......more
