Da Vinci Code
(Dan Brown)
This bestseller deserves to be explored for many reasons. First of all, this is a passionate novel mixing ancient myths with contemporary life.Its thesis is really polemical and engenders many debates, essentially because we are discussing about the Holy Grail and secrets kept from the Vatican. Even if all these revelations are not all checked, this novel is, however, very rich concerning historical data, which is very instructive for the reader about the secret societies, Leonardo Da Vinci and other famous icons of the Western culture.The polemic around the Da Vinci Code is useless because we should keep in mind that this book is just fiction. Although the author, a popular novelist, based his information on a large quantity of documentation in order to nourish his intrigue with such consistent elements, he has no intention to prove the facts in terms of data. Nevertheless, he succeeded in opening debates on several subjects such as the true meaning of faith, occult symbols that we are used to seeing them without understanding them, and finally by asking ourselves about the power of the Roman Catholic Church which has never been defied for centuries.Something palpitating about this novel is the way with which Dan Brown develops this intrigue starting with short and well-balanced chapters. Indeed, a curator of a museum just died and we are looking for the murderer. This book is also built in a certain way, so that the reader receives and understands the main events taking place at the same time but in different places, where as the main idea linking and conducting as far as the outcome is difficult to identify and follow at the beginning. Once the reader is familiar with the protagonists and is entirely absorbed by their nocturnal adventure, the enigma will become clearer and more and more people associated with this crime will appear. The reader becomes a witness without being able to help anybody and will go closer and closer to the resolution of the enigma.Although indices are present throughout the book, the end of the novel is absolutely unexpected. More over, the movie ?Da Vinci code? produced by Ron Howard will come out first at the festival Cannes in May 2006. For those who did not read the book yet, read it before watching the movie!
