“Book Descriptions: Dan Brown has returned to the top of bestseller lists this year with his latest novel, Inferno. With the fast-paced action of the novel, the secretive author of The Da Vinci Code was only able to scratch the surface of some of the amazing topics covered. Inside Dan Brown's Inferno offers the perfect guide to Inferno, taking you on a tour of the three amazing cities that Robert Langdon explored, the sublime art, architecture and literature that he came across, and the background of the Renaissance history that permeates the novel's plot. In addition, Inside Dan Brown's Inferno reveals a number of secrets that Dan Brown hid “for those with eyes to see.” For instance, did you know:
* That the publication date of Inferno appears to have been chosen for a very important reason, and hides a secret code.
* That a secret video on Dan Brown's website shows him emerging from a passageway hidden behind a painting – a location that made an appearance in his new novel.
* That a code hidden on the cover also decodes to give a major theme of the book – but leaves another, perhaps greater mystery to be solved.
Inside Dan Brown's Inferno, even provides a list of the topics that Dan Brown could have included as topics in the book but didn't – for example, Dante's obsession with the “sacred feminine,” a subject that was prominent in The Da Vinci Code. Inside Dan Brown's Inferno provides the ultimate primer to the latest novel from the bestselling author, allowing the reader to better understand the amazing locations visited, the history that is explored, and the mysteries that are revealed.” DRIVE
