Biography
Novelist Dan Brown may not have invented the literary thriller, but his groundbreaking tour de force The Da Vinci Code -- with its irresistible mix of religion, history, art, and science -- is the gold standard for a flourishing genre.
Born in Exeter, New Hampshire in 1964, Brown attended Phillips Exeter Academy (where his father taught), and graduated from Amherst with a double major in Spanish and English. After college he supported himself through teaching and enjoyed moderate success as a musician and songwriter.
Brown credits Sidney Sheldon with jump-starting his literary career. Up until 1994, his reading tastes were focused sharply on the classics. Then, on vacation in Tahiti, he stumbled on a paperback copy of Sheldon's novel The Doomsday Conspiracy. By the time he finished the book, he had decided he could do as well. There and then, he determined to try his hand at writing. His first attempt was a pseudonymously written self-help book for women co-written with his future wife Blythe Newlon. Then, in 1998, he published his first novel, Digital Fortress -- followed in swift succession by Angels and Demons and Deception Point. None the three achieved commercial success.
Then, in 2003, Brown hit the jackpot with his fourth novel, a compulsively readable thriller about a Harvard symbologist named Robert Langdon who stumbles on an ancient conspiracy in the wake of a shocking murder in the Louvre. Combining elements from art, science, and religion, The Da Vinci Code became the biggest bestseller in publishing history, inspiring a big-budget movie adaptation and fueling interest in the author's back list. In 2009, Brown continued Robert Langdon's esoteric adventures with The Lost Symbol, a tale of intrigue that, like its predecessors, takes readers on a wild ride into the sinister mysteries of the past.

密码之后看的,跟密码的风格类似,但是因为空间的跨度比较小,所以像我这种不为情节看这些书的人来说,吸引力明显不够
评分还是决定给《天使与魔鬼》做个小读书笔记,毕竟我非常喜欢这个小说开始对宗教与科学关系分析的部分。 故事一开始,哈佛大学的宗教象征主义学朗顿教授接到瑞士欧洲核子研究中心(CERN)主任,离散粒子物理学家Maximilian Kohler的电话,为一桩明教杀人案件火速抵达CERN的案发现...
评分《达芬奇密码》作者丹布朗(Dan Brown)的全部长篇 北星 Dan Brown在《达芬奇密码》火爆前写了三部长篇。按出版顺序分别是《数字堡垒》 (Digital Fortress),《天使和恶魔》(Angels and Demons)和《瞒天过海》 (Deception Point,俺这译名很贴切,申请专利)。这三本书据说是因...
评分[旧精魂按:朱振武先生的英文功底之差,恐怕在当今魑魅当道的中国翻译界,也要算下下等的了。而又自甘低级,强颜抵赖---见我在《达·芬奇密码〉的评论。孔子所谓"知耻近乎勇",在朱教授,以及国内的无数庸陋文人这里,要改成"无耻近乎勇"了。好,我等奉陪到底。这里再谈谈朱教...
评分好奇是人的天性,欣赏小说、戏剧、影视作品是我们满足无穷尽的好奇心的最佳途径。梁启超说:“人之读小说者,不知不觉之间,而眼识为之迷漾,而脑筋为之摇扬,而神经为之营注”,回忆一下自己全神贯注地阅读过的那些小说,不得不感佩此语之精准。 这就是丹·布朗...

From the #1 "New York Times" bestselling author of "The Da Vinci Code" comes the explosive thriller that started it all.
An ancient secret brotherhood. A devastating new weapon of destruction. An unthinkable target. When world-renowned Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned to his first assignment 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.
Langdon's worst fears are confirmed on the eve of the Vatican's holy conclave, when a messenger of the Illuminati announces they have hidden an unstoppable time bomb at the very heart of Vatican City. With the countdown under way, Langdon jets to Rome to join forces with Vittoria Vetra, a beautiful and mysterious Italian scientist, to assist the Vatican in a desperate bid for survival.
Embarking on a frantic hunt through sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs, deserted cathedrals, and the most secretive vault on earth, Langdon and Vetra follow a 400-year-old trail of ancient symbols that snakes across Rome toward the long-forgotten Illuminati lair...a clandestine location that contains the only hope for Vatican salvation.
Critics have praised the exhilarating blend of relentless adventure, scholarly intrigue, and cutting wit found in Brown's remarkable thrillers featuring Robert Langdon. An explosive international suspense, "Angels & Demons" marks this hero's first adventure as it careens from enlightening epiphanies to dark truths as the battle between science and religion turns to war.
有点乱 还是达芬奇密码后的写的节奏好些
