"In his international blockbusters The Da Vinci
Code, Angels & Demons, and The Lost Symbol, Dan Brown masterfully fused
history, art, codes, and symbols. In this riveting new thriller, Brown returns
to his element and has crafted his highest-stakes novel to date. In the heart
of Italy, Harvard professor of symbology Robert Langdon is drawn into a
harrowing world centered on one of history’s most enduring and mysterious
literary masterpieces . . . Dante’s Inferno. Against this backdrop, Langdon
battles a chilling adversary and grapples with an ingenious riddle that pulls
him into a landscape of classic art, secret passageways, and futuristic
science. Drawing from Dante’s dark epic poem, Langdon races to find answers and
decide whom to trust . . . before the world is irrevocably altered.
Dan Brown is the author of numerous #1
bestselling novels, including The Da Vinci Code, which has become one of the
best selling novels of all time as well as the subject of heated debate among
readers and scholars. Brown’s novels are published in 52 languages around the
world with 200 million copies in print. In 2005, Brown was named one of the 100
Most Influential People in the World by TIME Magazine, whose editors credited
him with “keeping the publishing industry afloat; renewed interest in Leonardo
da Vinci and early Christian history; spiking tourism to Paris and Rome; a
growing membership in secret societies; the ire of Cardinals in Rome; eight
books denying the claims of the novel and seven guides to read along with it; a
flood of historical thrillers; and a major motion picture franchise.” The son
of a mathematics teacher and a church organist, Brown was raised on a prep
school campus where he developed a fascination with the paradoxical interplay
between science and religion. These themes eventually formed the backdrop for
his books. He is a graduate of Amherst
College and Phillips Exeter
Academy, where he later
returned to teach English before focusing his attention full time to writing. Brown
is currently at work on a new book as well as the Columbia Pictures film
version of his most recent novel, The Lost Symbol."
