Origin

Robert Langdon, Harvard professor of symbology and religious iconology, arrives at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao to attend the unveiling of a discovery that "will change the face of science forever". The evening`s host is his friend and former student, Edmond Kirsch, a fortyyearold tech magnate whose dazzling inventions and audacious predictions have made him a controversial figure around the world. But Langdon and several hundred other guests are left reeling when the meticulously orchestrated evening is blown apart before Kirsch`s precious discovery can be revealed.

With his life under threat, Langdon is forced into a desperate bid to escape, along with the museum`s director, Ambra Vidal. Together they flee to Barcelona on a perilous quest to locate a cryptic password that will unlock Kirsch`s secret. In order to evade a tormented enemy who is one step ahead of them at every turn, Langdon and Vidal must navigate labyrinthine passageways of hidden history and ancient religion. On a trail marked only by enigmatic symbols and elusive modern art, Langdon and Vidal uncover the clues that will bring them facetoface with a worldshaking truth that has remained buried until now.
