Description:

First published in 2003, this novel of the American writer Dan Brown quickly became bestseller all over the world. Almost ten million copies sold, movie of the same name hitting the screens… that’s what popularity is. Though many scientists criticized the book and its author, it for sure helped to attract mass attention to myths and theories in Christian history.
Mystery is the centre of the book that unites such lines as detective thriller and conspiracy theory. The main character is Dr. Robert Langdon, a Harvard University Professor studying Religious Symbolism. One day in Louvre he finds the dead Jacques Sauniere, the museum’s curator. But not simply dead… on his naked body there was a cryptic note written with his own blood. His death is thought to be the act of forces trying to protect ancient mystery of Jesus Christ being married to Marty Magdalene.
The plot focuses on such masterpieces of Da Vinci as The Mona Lisa and Last Supper, they seem to contain clues to solving mysteries. The resolution seems to be also related to Holy Grail, strange civilization Sion's Priory and catholic association Opus Dei.
Do you want to solve the puzzle together with Robert Langdon?..

The stone has been rolled aside, andyou are born again. He slept and awoke. Fog shrouded his thoughts. He had never believed in heaven, and yet Jesuswas watching over him. Food appeared beside his bed, and the ghost ate it, almost able to feel theflesh materializing on his bones. He slept again. When he awoke, Jesus was still smiling down, speaking. You are saved, my son. Blessed are those who follow my path. Again, he slept. It was a scream of anguish that startled the ghost from his slumber. His body leapt out of bed, staggered down a...

I saw the movie first then read the book....as with most the book contains a lot more details than the movie. I went and had a look at the "Last Supper" painting in an encyclopedia, I had never noticed before that there were no goblets on the table...
