Origin (Robert Langdon, #5)
Dan Brown
Robert Langdon, Harvard professor of symbology and religious iconology, arrives at the ultramodern Guggenheim Museum Bilbao to attend a major announcement--the unveiling of a discovery that "will change the face of science forever." The evening's host is Edmond Kirsch, a forty-year-old billionaire and futurist whose dazzling high-tech inventions and audacious predictions have made him a renowned global figure. Kirsch, who was one of Langdon's first students at Harvard two decades earlier, is about to reveal an astonishing breakthrough . . . one that will answer two of the fundamental questions of human existence.
As the event begins, Langdon and several hundred guests find themselves captivated by an utterly original presentation, which Langdon realizes will be far more controversial than he ever imagined. But the meticulously orchestrated evening suddenly erupts into chaos, and Kirsch's precious discovery teeters on the brink of being lost forever. Reeling and facing an imminent threat, Langdon is forced into a desperate bid to escape Bilbao. With him is Ambra Vidal, the elegant museum director who worked with Kirsch to stage the provocative event. Together they flee to Barcelona on a perilous quest to locate a cryptic password that will unlock Kirsch's secret.
Navigating the dark corridors of hidden history and extreme religion, Langdon and Vidal must evade a tormented enemy whose all-knowing power seems to emanate from Spain's Royal Palace itself . . . and who will stop at nothing to silence Edmond Kirsch. On a trail marked by modern art and enigmatic symbols, Langdon and Vidal uncover clues that ultimately bring them face-to-face with Kirsch's shocking discovery . . . and the breathtaking truth that has long eluded us. Origin is stunningly inventive--Dan Brown's most brilliant and entertaining novel to date
Origem (Robert Langdon, #5)
Dan Brown
Bilbau, Espanha.
Robert Langdon, professor de simbologia e iconologia religiosa da universidade de Harvard, chega ao ultramoderno Museu Guggenheim de Bilbau para assistir a um grandioso anúncio: a revelação da descoberta que «mudará para sempre o rosto da ciência.» O anfitrião dessa noite é Edmond Kirsch, bilionário e futurista de quarenta e dois anos cujas espantosas invenções de alta tecnologia e audazes previsões fizeram dele uma figura de renome a nível global.
Kirsch, um dos primeiros alunos de Langdon em Harvard, duas décadas atrás, está prestes a revelar um incrível avanço científico… que irá responder a duas das perguntas mais fundamentais da existência humana. No início da noite, Langdon e várias centenas de outros convidados ficam fascinados com a apresentação tão original de Kirsch, e Langdon percebe que o anúncio do amigo será muito mais controverso do que ele imaginava. Mas aquela noite tão meticulosamente orquestrada não tardará a transformar-se num caos e a preciosa descoberta do futurista pode muito bem estar em vias de se perder para sempre.
Em pleno turbilhão de emoções e em perigo iminente, Langdon tenta desesperadamente fugir de Bilbau. Tem ao seu lado Ambra Vidal, a elegante diretora do Guggenheim que trabalhou com Kirsch na organização daquele provocador evento. Juntos, fogem para Barcelona, com a perigosa missão de localizarem a palavra-passe que os ajudará a desvendar o segredo de Kirsch.
Percorrendo os escuros corredores de história oculta e religião extremista, Langdon e Vidal têm de fugir de um inimigo atormentado que parece tudo saber e que parece até de alguma forma relacionado com o Palácio Real de Espanha… e que fará qualquer coisa para silenciar para sempre Edmond Kirsch.
Numa viagem marcada pela arte moderna e por símbolos enigmáticos, Langdon e Vidal vão descobrindo as pistas que acabarão por conduzi-los à chocante descoberta de Kirsch… e a uma verdade que até então nos tem escapado e que nos deixará sem fôlego.

With the Oval Office in the balance, the President dispatches White House Intelligence analyst Rachel Sexton to the Milne Ice Shelf to verify the authenticity of the find. Accompanied by a team of experts, including the charismatic academic Michael Tolland, Rachel uncovers the unthinkable—evidence of scientific trickery—a bold deception that threatens to plunge the world into controversy.
But before Rachel can contact the President, she and Michael are attacked by a deadly task force…a private team of assassins controlled by a mysterious powerbroker who will stop at nothing to hide the truth. Fleeing for their lives in an environment as desolate as it is lethal, they possess only one hope, to find out who is behind this masterful ploy. The truth, they will learn, is the most shocking deception of all…
Inferno (Robert Langdon, #4)
Dan Brown
Harvard professor of symbology Robert Langdon awakens in an Italian hospital, disoriented and with no recollection of the past thirty-six hours, including the origin of the macabre object hidden in his belongings. With a relentless female assassin trailing them through Florence, he and his resourceful doctor, Sienna Brooks, are forced to flee. Embarking on a harrowing journey, they must unravel a series of codes, which are the work of a brilliant scientist whose obsession with the end of the world is matched only by his passion for one of the most influential masterpieces ever written, Dante Alighieri's The Inferno.

Near the body, police have found a baffling cipher. While working to solve the enigmatic riddle, Langdon is stunned to discover it leads to a trail of clues hidden in the works of Da Vinci -- clues visible for all to see -- yet ingeniously disguised by the painter.

In a breathless race through Paris, London, and beyond, Langdon and Neveu match wits with a faceless powerbroker who seems to anticipate their every move. Unless Langdon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine puzzle in time, the Priory's ancient secret -- and an explosive historical truth -- will be lost forever.

Parigi, Museo del Louvre.
Nella Grande Galleria, il vecchio curatore Saunière, ferito a morte, si aggrappa con un ultimo gesto disperato a un dipinto del Caravaggio, fa scattare l'allarme e le grate di ferro all'entrata della sala immediatamente scendono, chiudendo fuori il suo inseguitore.
L'assassino, rabbioso, non ha ottenuto quello che voleva. A Saunière restano pochi minuti di vita. Si toglie i vestiti e, disteso sul pavimento, si dispone come l'uomo di Vitruvio, il celeberrimo disegno di Leonardo da Vinci.
La scena che si presenta agli occhi dei primi soccorritori è agghiacciante: il vecchio disteso sul marmo è riuscito, prima di morire, a scrivere alcuni numeri, poche parole e soltanto un nome: Robert Langdon.

Às vésperas da eleição presidencial norte-americana, uma incrível descoberta da NASA pode mudar todo o cenário político. A agência espacial encontra um enorme meteorito enterrado na geleira Milne, no alto Ártico, contendo fósseis – uma prova irrefutável da existência de vida extraterrestre.
A extraordinária revelação é feita exatamente quando a NASA se torna uma questão central na disputa pela presidência. O candidato à reeleição, o presidente Zachary Herney, vem perdendo pontos com os ataques de seu oponente, o senador Sedgewick Sexton, à ineficiência e aos gastos excessivos da agência espacial.
Para evitar especulações sobre a autenticidade do meteorito, a Casa Branca convoca Rachel Sexton, analista do NRO – o Escritório Nacional de Reconhecimento, importante organização da comunidade de inteligência americana – e filha do adversário do presidente, para verificar os dados levantados pela NASA. Além dela, quatro renomados cientistas são enviados para o Ártico, entre eles o oceanógrafo e apresentador de TV Michael Tolland.
Quando começam a levantar suspeitas de fraude, os cientistas passam a ser caçados por uma equipe de assassinos profissionais, controlada à distância por um inimigo poderoso que precisa eliminá-los um a um para resguardar seu segredo. Tentando escapar da morte certa, Rachel e Michael enfrentam os perigos da gelada paisagem do Ártico e inúmeras outras ameaças enquanto tentam descobrir quem se esconde por trás dessa genial armação.
Mundialmente reconhecido por seu talento para misturar ciência, história e política em livros de grande sucesso, Dan Brown elaborou uma trama na qual todas as impressões são enganosas e há surpresas ocultas a cada página.

When world-renowned Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned to a Swiss research facility to analyze a mysterious symbol -- seared into the chest of a murdered physicist -- he discovers evidence of the unimaginable: the resurgence of an ancient secret brotherhood known as the Illuminati...the most powerful underground organization ever to walk the earth. The Illuminati has now surfaced to carry out the final phase of its legendary vendetta against its most hated enemy -- the Catholic Church.

Robert Langdon, le célèbre professeur en symbologie et iconographie religieuse, arrive au musée Guggenheim pour assister à une cérémonie historique avec l’annonce d’une découverte scientifique révolutionnaire. L’organisateur de cette soirée n’est autre que le grand futurologue Edmond Kirsch, un milliardaire de quarante ans dont les inventions et les prédictions audacieuses ont fait de lui une célébrité mondiale. Kirsch, qui a été dans sa jeunesse l’étudiant de Langdon à Harvard, est sur le point d’annoncer le résultat de ses recherches… et d’apporter enfin une réponse aux deux questions fondamentales de l’humanité.
Dès le début de la soirée, Langdon, comme les centaines d’autres invités, est fasciné par l’originalité de la cérémonie. Une évidence s’impose : la découverte de Kirsch va susciter une controverse bien plus profonde qu’il ne l’avait imaginé. Mais la soirée parfaitement orchestrée jusqu’alors va soudain virer au chaos. La découverte de Kirsch risque d’être perdue à jamais. Sous le choc, et en grand danger, Langdon est contraint de quitter précipitamment Bilbao. Dans sa fuite, il est accompagné de Ambra Vidal, la directrice du musée qui a préparé avec Kirsch cette soirée explosive. Tous deux s'envolent pour Barcelone, et se lancent dans une quête périlleuse pour retrouver un étrange mot de passe qui permettra de révéler au monde la découverte de Kirsch.
Plongeant dans les dédales sombres de l’Histoire et des religions, Robert Langdon et Ambra Vidal doivent échapper à un ennemi puissant qui semble envoyé par le Palais royal et prêt à tout pour réduire au silence Edmond Kirsch. Sur une piste jalonnée d’oeuvres modernes et de symboles énigmatiques, Langdon et Ambra Vidal vont finir par découvrir les clés menant au secret de Kirsch… et à cette grande révélation qui, depuis des millénaires, échappe à la compréhension de l’homme.

Dan Brown
Fenomen wydawniczy ostatniego dwudziestolecia! Kontrowersyjny, znakomity thriller, który bije wszelkie rekordy popularności.
Ofiarą popełnionego w Luwrze morderstwa pada kustosz muzeum Jacques Saunière. Wezwany przez policję historyk i badacz symboli Robert Langdon odkrywa na miejscu zbrodni ślady, które mogą pomóc w ustaleniu zabójcy, a jednocześnie są kluczem do niewzykłej tajemnicy, sięgającej korzeniami początków chrześcijaństwa. Langdon podejrzewa, że zamordowany był członkiem Zakonu Syjonu, powstałego w 1099 roku tajnego stowarzyszenia, strzegącego miejsca ukrycia bezcennej, zaginionej przed wiekami relikwii Kościoła - Świętego Graala. Do Zakonu Syjonu należeli między innymi Leonardo da Vinci i Isaac Newton. Kustosz poświęcił życie, by sekret, na którego straży stoi stowarzyszenie, nie ujrzał światła dziennego. Teraz pozostały tylko 24 godziny na rozwikłanie łamigłówki pozostawionej przez Saunière'a, w przeciwnym razie tajemnica pogrąży się w mroku historii. Najistotniejsze elementy zagadki kryją się w obrazach mistrza Renesansu - "Monie Lizie" i "Ostatniej Wieczerzy". Czy ścigany przez policję i bezlitosnego zabójcę Langdon zdoła ujść pogoni i dotrzeć do szokującej prawdy? Jego jedynym sprzemierzeńcem jest piękna Sophie Neveu, agentka policji, znawczyni kodów i szyfrów, a zarazem... wnuczka Saunière'a.
O símbolo perdido (Robert Langdon, #3)
Dan Brown
Em O Símbolo Perdido, o célebre professor de Harvard é convidado às pressas por seu amigo e mentor Peter Solomon - eminente maçom e filantropo - a dar uma palestra no Capitólio dos Estados Unidos. Ao chegar lá, descobre que caiu numa armadilha. Não há palestra nenhuma. Solomon está desaparecido e, ao que tudo indica, correndo grande perigo.
Mal'akh, o sequestrador, acredita que os fundadores de Washington, a maioria deles mestres maçons, esconderam na cidade um tesouro capaz de dar poderes sobre-humanos a quem o encontrasse. E está convencido de que Langdon é a única pessoa que pode localizá-lo.
Vendo que essa é sua única chance de salvar Solomon, o simbologista se lança numa corrida alucinada pelos principais pontos da capital americana: o Capitólio, a Biblioteca do Congresso, a Catedral Nacional e o Centro de Apoio dos Museus Smithsonian.
Neste labirinto de verdades ocultas, códigos maçônicos e símbolos escondidos, Langdon conta com a ajuda de Katherine, irmã de Peter e renomada cientista que investiga o poder que a mente humana tem de influenciar o mundo físico.
O tempo está contra eles. E muitas outras pessoas parecem envolvidas nesta trama que ameaça a segurança nacional, entre elas Inoue Sato, autoridade máxima do Escritório de Segurança da CIA, e Warren Bellamy, responsável pela administração do Capitólio. Como Langdon já aprendeu em suas outras aventuras, quando se trata de segredos e poder, nunca se pode dizer ao certo de que lado cada um está.

Cautarile ii vor purta pe cei doi oameni de stiinta prin cripte pecetluite de secole, prin catacombe pline de primejdii si prin catedrale parasite, pana la cel mai periculos loc de pe fata pamantului: ascunzatoarea de mult uitata a ordinului Illuminati, mormantul Sfantului Petru.
