About the author

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 intellectual debate among readers and scholars. Brown’s novels are published in 56 languages around the world with over 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. He lives in New England with his yellow lab, Winston.

Brown’s latest novel, Origin, explores two of the fundamental questions of humankind: Where do we come from? Where are we going?

Reviews

[Sonny · Rating 4 out of 5]

1,21부 모두 읽음. Goodreads에서는 한글판 통합 isbn 코드를 검색 못하는 듯.

마지막에 진보와 보수에 대한 견해를 기계적 중립으로 나열하다보니 소설이라고 하기에 좀 민망한 부분이 있었음.
그것만 제외하면 전체적으로는 아주 괜찮은 책이었음.
예전 유럽 배낭여행 갔을 때 일정상 피렌체를 제외시켰었는데 나중에 기회가 되면 반드시 가보리라 한번 더 다짐함.
