Synopsis

El símbolo perdido, la sensacional continuación de El código Da Vinci, es un golpe maestro de la narrativa: una carrera mortal a través de un auténtico laberinto compuesto por códigos y verdades ocultas, bajo la mirada vigilante de un ser villano aterrador. La acción de El símbolo perdido, que tiene lugar en el interior de una serie de túneles y templos ocultos de Washington, cobra ritmo a través de un asombroso paisaje hacia un final inimaginable.
 
Robert Langdon, experto en simbología de la Universidad de Harvard, ha sido convocado al Capitolio para dar una conferencia nocturna. Minutos después de su llegada, la noche da un giro extraño: se descubre en el Capitolio un objeto perturbador, artísticamente cifrado con cinco símbolos vetustos. El objeto es una invitación antigua cuyo fin es conducir a su destinatario al interior de un mundo de sabiduría esotérica arcana que se había perdido hacía mucho tiempo. Cuando alguien secuestra a Peter Solomon, mentor de Langdon y destacado masón y filántropo, la única esperanza que tiene Langdon de salvarlo es aceptar esta invitación y seguirla hasta donde lo conduzca. Langdon termina sumido en un mundo clandestino de secretos masónicos, historia oculta y lugares que nunca antes se habían visto. Todo esto parece arrastrarlo hacia una única e inconcebible verdad.
 
El símbolo perdido es exactamente lo que los admiradores de Dan Brown han estado esperando: su novela más emocionante hasta el momento.

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.

Goodreads review by Grumpus on November 24, 2024

I don’t get all the haters of the Dan Brown books. Are you really going in with the expectation that these books are going to be award-winning, works of art? If so, do you critique every book you read with that same expectation? It would be a pity if you did. Like movies, I don’t expect every one I w......more

Goodreads review by Megan on September 22, 2009

I have such issues rating Dan Brown books... I want 1.5 stars, I think. Snark ahead. Here's the deal: the man can't write. He's a name-brand & url spewing, Wikipedia-like fountain of knowledge, who CAN'T HANDLE VERB TENSES. He also likes really short sentences. That aren't sentences at all. Really. E......more

Goodreads review by John on October 12, 2009

I liked Angels and Demons and I really liked The DaVinci Code but this latest of Dan Browns thrillers was barely worth the time, and definitely not worth the money. The Lost Symbol follows the familiar Dan Brown formula - an ominous conspiracy, a threat to end the world as we know it, a relentless v......more

Goodreads review by Tharindu on February 22, 2022

"Have you seen a bald man with a sling on his arm?" " 'Google' is not a synonym for 'research' " Once again, it's the same set of complements and criticisms here. Pace, suspense, mystery, humor and characters all good but everything feels just too repetitive. At this point, I'm starting to thi......more
