Dan Brown- The Da vinci Code

The story begins in France in the Louvre museum where Jaques Sauniere, the teacher of the “Prioriato de Sion” was killed. But that is not all because this crime hidden a dangerous secret. Jaques Sauniere had the task to protect this secret so he transmitted his granddaughter Sophie Neveu a serial of clues.

In the story Sophie get some help from a researcher symbols, Robert Langdon. This was called to his hotel in Paris for a detective called Bezu Fache, who suspected of Langdon as a possible murderer of Sauniere. This detective tries to make Langdon confess but Sophie helps him to escape from the Louvre and from Fache.

Finally when Sophie and Langdon were alone, she told him about her grandfather and the strangest clues that he left her before died. So they discover a lot of important things and finally are found an object called "Criptex". After this they were to visit to a friend of Langdon called Leigh Teabing. This man was a passioned for the past and he knows a lot about that mysterious secret.

The secret is about Jesus and Maria Magdalena and their relationship. The story said that Jesus wasn't a sacred man quite the opposite, said that he was only a man and he had had a wife and a daughter. This was the most important secret of the Prioriato de Sion. Sophie and Robert discover the existence of another group called "Opus Dei" who tries to destroy the clues of this secret. In other words they have had to find the tomb of Maria Magdalena and find to the descendant of Jesus.

To conclude, this book was based in many studies, Dan Brown made a big research about this topic and the book makes you think that all is true. In my opinion I have a lot of doubts about the religion and their stories but this topic is too big to talk about in this post so I finish this I have to recommend because is a really good and interesting book.
