| Description: |
Explores and explains the context of Dan Brown's thriller "The Da Vinci Code", from how the early Christian Church 'edited' "The Bible" to the true history of the holy grail, and to what art historians make of Leonardo Da Vinci's symbolism in the "Last Supper" and other works. |
| Synopsis: |
Dan Brown's thriller "The Da Vinci Code" has created an extraordinary Christian controversy, with its sub-plots of the sacred feminine in religion, the bloodline of Christ, the legend of the Holy Grail, and the role of sects like Opus Dei within the church. This updated second edition explores and explains the context of the novel, from how the early Christian Church 'edited' "The Bible" to the true history of the holy grail, and to what art historians make of Leonardo Da Vinci's symbolism in the "Last Supper" and other works. There is a brand-new chapter on the making of the eagerly anticipated "Da Vinci Code" movie, starring Tom Hanks and directed by Ron Howard. The guide includes information on all the "Da Vinci Code" sites in Paris, Rome, Jerusalem, New York, London and Edinburgh. There are reviews of "Da Vinci Code" sources and a glossary of everything from the Templars to the Fibonaccci Sequence. Whatever you think of Dan Brown's novel, this "Rough Guide" has the key to help you understand the world it inhabits. |
