Some books don’t just tell a story.
They open a door.
For over two decades, Robert Langdon, Harvard’s symbologist-in-residence and history’s favorite reluctant detective, has been our guide through hidden corridors of power, faith, and art. Dan Brown’s novels turn cities into codes, paintings into puzzles, and history into a living, breathing manuscript.
This August, as we celebrate Dan Brown Reading Month, it’s time to retrace Langdon’s steps—before a new chapter begins on 9th September.
Angels & Demons
The beginning of the trail.
In Rome, a murdered scientist and a single word—Illuminati—pull Langdon into the eternal dance between science and faith. Every altar becomes a coordinate, every church a cipher in this high-stakes chase through Vatican secrets.
The Da Vinci Code
The one that shook the world.
When a body is discovered beneath the Louvre’s pyramid, Langdon unravels a series of riddles hidden in Da Vinci’s art, leading to the most controversial secret of all—the one tied to the Holy Grail.
The Lost Symbol
America’s hidden manuscript.
In Washington, D.C., the very streets become a codebook. Langdon deciphers Freemason symbols woven into the city’s architecture while racing to uncover truths buried in the foundations of a nation.
Inferno
Hell is just a map.
Guided by Dante’s verses, Langdon races across Florence, Venice, and Istanbul to stop a global catastrophe. Every line of poetry becomes a breadcrumb, each painting a warning etched into the canvas of history.
Origin
The ultimate question.
In Spain, a futurist’s discovery threatens to rewrite the oldest debate in human history: Where do we come from, and where are we going? Art, science, and faith converge as Langdon confronts an answer humanity may not be ready to face.
The Secret of Secrets (Coming 9th September)
The next door awaits.
Little is known. Whispers suggest a revelation buried deeper than any Langdon has faced before—a truth entwined with the very fabric of human civilization. The symbols are already in place. All that remains is for the right mind to read them.
Each book is a cipher. Together, they are a map.
And on 9th September, Dan Brown will draw the next line.
This month, walk the path again.
Decode the past. Prepare for the future.
