具体描述

In this stunning follow-up to the global phenomenon The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown demonstrates once again why he is the world's most popular thriller writer. The Lost Symbol is a masterstroke of storytelling, a deadly race through a real-world labyrinth of codes, secrets, and unseen truths. All under the watchful eye of Brown's most terrifying villain to date. Set within the hidden chambers, tunnels, and temples of Washington, D.C., The Lost Symbol accelerates through a startling landscape toward an unthinkable finale.

As the story opens, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon is summoned unexpectedly to deliver an evening lecture in the U.S. Capitol Building. Within minutes of his arrival, however, the night takes a bizarre turn. A disturbing object, artfully encoded with five symbols--is discovered in the Capitol Building. Langdon recognizes the object as an ancient invitation. One meant to usher its recipient into a long-lost world of esoteric wisdom.

When Langdon's beloved mentor, Peter Solomon, a prominent Mason and philanthropist--is brutally kidnapped, Langdon realizes his only hope of saving Peter is to accept this mystical invitation and follow wherever it leads him. Langdon is instantly plunged into a clandestine world of Masonic secrets, hidden history, and never-before-seen locations, all of which seem to be dragging him toward a single, inconceivable truth.

As the world discovered in The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons, Dan Brown's novels are brilliant tapestries of veiled histories, arcane symbols, and enigmatic codes. In this new novel, he again challenges readers with an intelligent, lightning-paced story that offers surprises at every turn. The Lost Symbol is exactly what Brown's fans have been waiting for his most thrilling novel yet.

读后感

阎连科老师尝曰，他看《达•芬奇密码》时，仿佛有种“从山顶往下滚石头，滚到谷底，看到黑暗，看到闪电”的感觉。 老实说，我读丹•布朗新作《失落的秘符》的感觉，庶几相似。 只是，阎老师那么说时，似乎是欣喜的，而我这么说时，想说的其实是，恐惧。 是这样的，从《天...

花一天的时间看完了《失落的秘符》。没有当初看《达芬奇密码》时候那种无可言状的兴奋感，但还是一口气、手不释卷地看完了。其实在评分的时候很想打三颗星，但考虑到作者是丹布朗，再联想到前阵子我想看但始终看不下去的几本小说（比如《墨水心》），我还是给了个四星。 借我...  

春节放假一回家就一晚上看完了丹布朗的小说《失落的秘符》，书中居然还提到了维基百科….. 在第111章，兰登回忆彼得·所罗门的一场演讲，一位金发女孩的提问中说彼得·索罗斯在维基百科上有条目，说他是一位显赫的共济会会员。当然，实际上，维基百科上并没有彼得·索罗斯的条...

看一次还好，看多了腻歪，结局太那个啥了……

1.这次写相对年轻的美国华盛顿，我觉得比写古老的欧洲更有意思。 2.本书一直在营造一种现代和古老穿插的神秘感。非常成功，用现代科技去探索人脑，信仰这些古代智慧注重的东西。另外将美国这个现代的国家的心脏和首都和古老的智慧联系在一起也是为了这个效果。 3.如果最终的秘密不够精彩的话，太会吊人胃口有时候也是个缺点。 4.如此小说最后的结局都没有超自然的存在，奇迹往往存在于平凡之中，就看解释的巧不巧妙。 5.我居然一开始就看到了说秘密的顶上有块大石头，我就立刻想到了一定是华盛顿纪念碑。

读完此书的最大收获是知道了译本与原本的差距可以如此之大。
