Si Ken follett o Dan Brown announce new novel, the literary world trembles. Beyond the most purist critics or the most erudite readers, fiction finds authors like these, adding some other as Stephen King, to those best sellers that resuscitate the literary market. If all the readers who follow these authors are authentic literary chumps, it is something that I leave to the judgment of those other more sophisticated writers and readers. For my part I just pretend to enjoy reading.
The point is, Dan Brown is back to his old ways. In its novel From takes up that genre of mystery, with a certain thriller point, where Religion takes on a primary role as a part of the plot.
Edmond Kirsch, a kind of modern Da Vinci, wrapped in millions and dedicated to research announces a presentation that will change science forever. The presentation is scheduled, nothing more and nothing less than in Bilbao, at the Guggenheim (a compelling reason to read the novel).
However, about to reveal that great enigma that has the entire scientific community waiting, between skepticism and concern, the presentation is violated by an unexpected event. Our friend Professor Langdon and the museum director Ambra Vidal set out on a hasty search for that extraordinary novelty for which they only have a cryptic password.
From Bilbao we went to Seville and Barcelona. The secret is anticipated as a wonderful scientific knowledge about Humanity, the World and the Universe. But that secret was kept hidden and so some claim that it continues to be. Langdon will have to face those who hide the truth, until an unexpected and fascinating end.
Amen to the attractiveness per se of this novel, as you can see, it is a novel completely developed in Spain, a literary milestone.
