Book Synopsis Inferno Decoded by : Michael Haag

Download or read book Inferno Decoded written by Michael Haag. This book was released on 2013-06-20. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this illuminating companion to Dan Brown's Inferno, historian Michael Haag sets out the truth behind the novel's myths, mysteries and locations. How do the clues unveiled in symbology professor Robert Langdon's daring quest from Florence to Venice and Istanbul overlap with history? What codes and symbols did Dante employ in the Divine Comedy and which secret religious, philosophical, and scientific themes are hidden within his work? What lies behind Botticelli's Mappa dell'Inferno? And what are the cult scientists known as transhumanists really up to? Inferno Decoded is a book that ranges as widely as Dan Brown's novel, from the terrors of the Black Death to the scientific debates around population growth and prolonging of life-spans, and from the economic, political, and religious tumult in Florence at the dawn of the Renaissance to real-life locations in Florence, Venice and Istanbul today. It is a must-read for anyone who has read Inferno and wondered just how its enigmatic questions are real or relevant.

Book Synopsis The Templar Rebellion by : Sanford Holst

Download or read book The Templar Rebellion written by Sanford Holst. This book was released on 2013-02. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating world of the Templars is the foundation for Dan Brown’s Inferno novel. Seeing Templars burn to death inspired Dante’s Inferno, and it caused their surviving brothers to rebel against the powers-that-be. People intimately involved with the secretive deeds of the Templars were caught up in difficult choices, deep relationships, bitter de-feats and glorious triumphs. Recovered manuscripts and records now bring these people to life. Their intriguing mysteries are explored and some are resolved, including the source of Templar wealth and power that was overseen by green-robed clerics. Rebellious activities by Templar survivors hurried the fall of kings and the splitting of the Catholic Church. It helped give rise to merchant families such as Gresham in England and Medici in Italy. These are real people, real events, and fascinating adventures among knights and ladies, combats and courts, younger sons and noble families.
