“Denial is a critical part of the human coping mechanism. Without it, we would all wake up terrified every morning about all the ways we could die. Instead, our minds block out our existential fears by focusing on stresses we can handle—like getting to work on time or paying our taxes.”
Quote by Dan Brown
Work
Robert Langdon, the Harvard symbologist and protagonist of several Dan Brown novels, finds himself drawn into a complex mystery spanning historic European cities. The narrative weaves together elements from Dante Alighieri's fourteenth-century epic poem The Divine Comedy, particularly its first section subtitled Inferno. The story explores themes related to historic art, architecture, and Renaissance-era secrets, while presenting Langdon with intellectual puzzles and danger. This edition features additional illustrations and enhanced formatting, characteristic of special illustrated releases that provide visual accompaniment to the narrative's art-historical elements. more
