作者

《起源》丹‧布朗迄今最高明最具娛樂性的小說。

「新人類起源說」引發震撼爭議，上市後狂掃全球暢銷書榜冠軍

未知生，焉知死？穿過隱晦歷史與極端宗教的黑暗走廊，關於人類的起源和命運，長久蒙蔽、令人屏息的真相，即將解開。

哈佛大學符號學教授羅柏‧蘭登與數百位隆重受邀的賓客，齊聚西班牙畢爾包古根漢美術館，參加一場由未來學家艾德蒙．柯許主辦的神祕晚會，發表據稱可能引爆全球末日恐慌的科學新發現。不料，主辦人艾德蒙竟在發表會邁入高峰之際遭到暗殺，是誰不擇手段阻止？為了解開被封鎖的訊息，倉皇逃離的蘭登身陷危險陰謀，被迫躲進高第的聖家堂內鮮為人知的密室中，他能否及時解開艾德蒙震撼世人的發現？

我們從哪裡來？

我們要往哪裡去？

數千年來，關於人類存在的兩個根本疑問，在權力爭霸的歷史中莫衷一是。生命有何意義？又將如何終結？原來人類對於死亡的恐懼，答案就在起源之中。只有看見死亡，人生才有成為傑作的可能。解開起源之謎，可能改寫人類命運的下一步。

The #1 New York Times Bestseller (October 2017) from the author of The Da Vinci Code.

Bilbao, Spain

Robert Langdon, Harvard professor of symbology and religious iconology, arrives at the ultramodern Guggenheim Museum Bilbao to attend a major announcement—the unveiling of a discovery that “will change the face of science forever.” The evening’s host is Edmond Kirsch, a forty-year-old billionaire and futurist whose dazzling high-tech inventions and audacious predictions have made him a renowned global figure. Kirsch, who was one of Langdon’s first students at Harvard two decades earlier, is about to reveal an astonishing breakthrough . . . one that will answer two of the fundamental questions of human existence.

As the event begins, Langdon and several hundred guests find themselves captivated by an utterly original presentation, which Langdon realizes will be far more controversial than he ever imagined. But the meticulously orchestrated evening suddenly erupts into chaos, and Kirsch’s precious discovery teeters on the brink of being lost forever. Reeling and facing an imminent threat, Langdon is forced into a desperate bid to escape Bilbao. With him is Ambra Vidal, the elegant museum director who worked with Kirsch to stage the provocative event. Together they flee to Barcelona on a perilous quest to locate a cryptic password that will unlock Kirsch’s secret.

Navigating the dark corridors of hidden history and extreme religion, Langdon and Vidal must evade a tormented enemy whose all-knowing power seems to emanate from Spain’s Royal Palace itself . . . and who will stop at nothing to silence Edmond Kirsch. On a trail marked by modern art and enigmatic symbols, Langdon and Vidal uncover clues that ultimately bring them face-to-face with Kirsch’s shocking discovery . . . and the breathtaking truth that has long eluded us.

Origin is stunningly inventive—Dan Brown's most brilliant and entertaining novel to date.

丹．布朗
畢業於美國菲利普．埃克塞特學院（Philips Exeter Academy），在他全心投入寫作之時，一直擔任該學院的英文老師。1996年，丹．布朗出於對從事密碼破譯工作的秘密政府機關的興趣，寫作了自己的第一部小說《數位密碼》（Digital Fortress）。而這部小說立刻成了國內首屈一指的網路小說。它以美國國家安全局（National Security Agency）為背景，探究了公民隱私和國家安全之間的界限。

丹．布朗的父親是一名曾獲得總統榮譽獎的數學教授，母親是一名職業宗教音樂家，因此，他從小就生活在科學和宗教相衝突的荒唐哲學中。丹．布朗的妻子既是一名藝術歷史學家，也是一名油畫家，她不僅和丈夫一起合作研究，還一直陪伴著他完成頻繁的研究之旅。《達文西密碼》正是夫妻倆一起到巴黎，在羅浮宮所完成。

丹．布朗另著有《天使與魔鬼》以及Deception Point。如布朗所言，《天使與魔鬼》是《達文西密碼》的「前傳」。在《天使與魔鬼》這本小說中，丹．布朗首度創造出羅柏．蘭登這個角色，故事描述哈佛大學符號學家蘭登去羅浮宮那趟重要造訪的一年之前，在梵蒂岡城的冒險經歷。
