Codul lui Da Vinci

Robert Langdon, a Harvard symbologist, arrives at the Louvre Museum to investigate the murder of Jacques Saunière. The curator left behind a trail of riddles involving Fibonacci numbers and anagrams that lead Langdon and cryptologist Sophie Neveu to the works of Leonardo da Vinci. They flee from the French police and an Opus Dei assassin while attempting to solve a centuries-old puzzle involving the Priory of Sion. Their search focuses on the true nature of the Holy Grail, reimagined here as a bloodline descending from Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene.

This novel attracts readers who enjoy rapid puzzles and the intersection of church history with secret societies. Those interested in alternative religious theories and the hidden symbolism within Renaissance art find a narrative built on codes and historical conjecture. The reader finishes the book with a list of historical landmarks and paintings to view through a lens of potential conspiracy. It serves those looking for a plot driven by intellectual scavenging and the tension of a continuous chase through European cities.
