The Da Vinci Code – Dan Brown
Late one night, the curator of the Louvre Museum in Paris is found murdered in the Grand Gallery, his body arranged in a strange position and surrounded by mysterious symbols. Robert Langdon, a Harvard professor of symbology who happens to be in Paris, is summoned to the scene, and soon finds himself under suspicion.
In The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown’s international bestseller, Langdon teams up with Sophie Neveu, a gifted French cryptologist and the curator’s granddaughter, to decipher a trail of clues hidden in the works of Leonardo da Vinci. As they race through Paris, London and beyond, pursued by the police and by a mysterious and dangerous adversary, they uncover links to a secret society and to a long-hidden secret that, if revealed, could shake the foundations of Western religion.
The novel combines fast-paced action with puzzles, codes, art history and conspiracy, keeping readers turning the pages with short chapters and cliffhanger endings. Brown weaves in references to famous artworks, historical societies and religious history, although many of the book’s claims about history and religion are fictional or disputed by historians.
The Da Vinci Code became one of the bestselling novels of all time, sparked worldwide debate and was adapted into a major film starring Tom Hanks.
Gripping and entertaining, this thriller is a must-read for fans of mystery, suspense and puzzles, and a great introduction to the Robert Langdon series.
