The Da Vinci Code——Dan Brown

Dan Brown (born June 22, 1964) is an American author of thriller fiction who is best known for the 2003 bestselling novel, The Da Vinci Code. Brown‘s novels are treasure hunts set in a 24hour period, and feature the recurring themes of cryptography(密码), keys, symbols, codes, and conspiracy(阴谋) theories. His books have been translated into 52 languages, and as of 2012, sold over 200 million copies. Two of them, The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons, have been adapted into films.

The Da Vinci Code is a mystery-detective novel. It follows symbologist Robert Langdon and cryptologist(密码破译员) Sophie Neveu as they investigate a murder in Paris's Louvre Museum and discover a battle between the Priory of Sion(峋山隐修会)and Opus Dei (主业会) over the possibility of Jesus having been married to Mary Magdalene. The title of the novel refers to, among other things, the fact that the murder victim is found in the Grand Gallery of the Louvre, naked and posed like Leonardo da Vinci's famous drawing, the Vitruvian Man, with a cryptic message written beside his body and a pentagram drawn on his chest in his own blood.
