Simon Cox provides an alphabetical companion to the people, places, symbols and theories encountered in Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code. Entries examine subjects ranging from Leonardo's art and the Golden Ratio to the Holy Grail, Mary Magdalene and the organisations woven into the novel's mystery. Designed for readers curious about the background to the story, the guide separates discussion of historical material from the fictional uses and speculative interpretations that helped make the thriller so intriguing. Illustrations accompany the explanations, and the A–Z arrangement allows readers to look up a particular reference or browse across related subjects. This is an independent, unauthorised companion for exploring the ideas and controversies surrounding the novel.
