Da Vinci code
Dan Brown

Un éminent spécialiste de symbologie de Harvard est convoqué au Louvre pour examiner une série de pictogrammes en rapport avec l'œuvre de Vinci.

En déchiffrant le code, il met au jour l'un des plus grands mystères de notre temps... et devient un homme traqué.

Sans totalement déflorer l'intrigue, on peut dire que l'Eglise catholique aurait singulièrement travesti la vérité historique concernant le Christ. Jésus aurait eu pour épouse Marie-Madeleine, et leurs enfants, après bien des péripéties, se seraient retrouvés en Gaule et auraient fondé la dynastie des rois mérovingiens. Leurs descendants vivraient toujours en France et, parmi eux, figurerait le conservateur du Musée du Louvre.

Une société secrète, le Prieuré de Sion, serait dépositaire de ce lourd secret qui constitue une arme puissante dont l'Eglise catholique, et plus particulièrement son aile la plus dure, l'Opus Dei, veut absolument empêcher la divulgation. Au cours des siècles, un certain nombre de membres de cette secte auraient laissé filtré des indices, dont Léonard de Vinci, qui aurait parsemé ses toiles de signes éloquents concernant le rôle éminent de Marie-Madeleine dans la religion catholique.

Dans ce roman qui est devenu un énorme succès éditorial, l'Américain Dan Brown raconte que Jésus était l'époux de Marie-Madeleine et l'ancêtre des Mérovingiens. Crimes et complots, jeux et énigmes jalonnent l'intrigue.

The Da Vinci Code
Dan Brown

With The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown masterfully concocts an intelligent and lucid thriller that marries the gusto of an international murder mystery with a collection of fascinating esoteria culled from 2,000 years of Western history.

A murder in the silent after-hour halls of the Louvre museum reveals a sinister plot to uncover a secret that has been protected by a clandestine society since the days of Christ. The victim is a high-ranking agent of this ancient society who, in the moments before his death, manages to leave gruesome clues at the scene that only his daughter, noted cryptographer Sophie Neveu, and Robert Langdon, a famed symbologist, can untangle. The duo become both suspects and detectives searching for not only Neveu's father's murderer but also the stunning secret of the ages he was charged to protect. Mere steps ahead of the authorities and the deadly competition, the mystery leads Neveu and Langdon on a breathless flight through France, England, and history itself.

Brown (Angels and Demons) has created a page-turning thriller that also provides an amazing interpretation of Western history. Brown's hero and heroine embark on a lofty and intriguing exploration of some of Western culture's greatest mysteries--from the nature of the Mona Lisa's smile to the secret of the Holy Grail. Though some will quibble with the veracity of Brown's conjectures, therein lies the fun. The Da Vinci Code is an enthralling read that provides rich food for thought
