內容簡介
   One of the bestselling novels of all time, Dan Brown’s The Da Vinci Code has intrigued and thrilled millions of readers around the world. Now all the artwork, symbols, architecture, and historic locations—over 160 images—are beautifully compiled in this full-color collector’s edition.
A mind-bending code hidden in the works of Leonardo da Vinci.
A desperate race through the cathedrals and castles of Europe.
An astonishing truth concealed for centuries . . . unveiled at last.
While in Paris on business, Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon receives an urgent late-night phone call. The elderly curator of the Louvre has been murdered inside the museum, a baffling cipher found near the body. As Langdon and a gifted French cryptologist, Sophie Neveu, sort through the bizarre riddles, they are stunned to discover a trail of clues hidden in the works of Da Vinci—clues visible for all to see and yet ingeniously disguised by the painter.
The stakes are raised when Langdon uncovers a startling link: the late curator was involved in the Priory of Sion—an actual secret society whose members included Sir Isaac Newton, Botticelli, Victor Hugo, and Da Vinci, among others. Langdon suspects they are on the hunt for a breathtaking historical secret, one that has proven through the centuries to be as enlightening as it is dangerous. In a frantic race through Paris, and beyond, Langdon and Neveu find themselves matching wits with a faceless powerbroker who appears to anticipate their every move. Unless they can decipher the labyrinthine puzzle, the Priory’s secret—and an explosive ancient truth—will be lost forever.
Instantly catapulted to the top of bestseller lists around the world, The Da Vinci Code is simultaneously lightning-paced, intelligent, and intricately layered with remarkable research and detail. From secrets embedded in the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper to the symbols of ancient Egypt, to the architecture of landmarks such as the Louvre, Westminster Abbey, Rosslyn Chapel, and more, this fully illustrated collector’s edition delivers the complete reading experience of Dan Brown’s riveting novel—from the opening pages to the unpredictable and stunning conclusion.     作者簡介

					《煉金術士之謎:失落的聖杯》  一部關於曆史、信仰與隱秘知識的史詩級探險。  在巴黎的地下深處,一份塵封瞭數百年的羊皮紙捲軸被意外發現。捲軸中晦澀難懂的符號和煉金術的圖譜,指嚮瞭一個足以顛覆基督教曆史根基的驚天秘密——傳說中聖杯的真正下落,以及隱藏在歐洲貴族血脈中的“神聖血統”的真相。  故事的主人公,伊萊亞斯·凡德爾(Elias Vander),是一位在牛津大學任教的語言學和符號學專傢。他沉靜、博學,對古代宗教文本有著近乎偏執的研究熱情。他的生活被一封來自梵蒂岡秘密檔案館的匿名信徹底打亂。信中附帶的微縮膠捲,記錄瞭一位在羅馬被“意外”身亡的紅衣主教留下的最後遺言:一個關於“鑰匙之城”和“雙重審判”的模糊警告。  伊萊亞斯很快發現,這起死亡並非偶然。他很快被捲入一場橫跨歐洲大陸的緻命追逐中。追捕他的組織,“聖殿騎士團餘孽”(The Remnant of the Templars),是一個根深蒂固、信奉極端教條的秘密團體。他們堅信,聖杯不僅僅是基督的飲器,更是承載著顛覆世界秩序的“終極啓示”的容器。他們不惜一切代價,要確保這個秘密永遠沉睡。  曆史的碎片與現代的陰影交織  隨著調查的深入,伊萊亞斯發現綫索穿梭於幾個世紀的宏大曆史事件之中:   13世紀的卡特裏派異端審判: 捲軸中反復齣現的符號,與法國南部遭受血腥鎮壓的卡特裏派信徒所使用的秘密標記驚人地吻閤。他們似乎早已知曉瞭關於聖杯的某種“異端”解釋。  文藝復興時期的佛羅倫薩藝術: 一幅鮮為人知的達·芬奇時代畫作中,隱藏著一個被精確計算過的幾何圖案,這個圖案似乎指引著通往一個位於阿爾卑斯山脈深處的隱秘修道院的入口。  中世紀煉金術的密碼: 煉金術在當時並非僅僅追求點石成金,它更是一種對宇宙真理和人類潛能的哲學探索。伊萊亞斯必須破譯那些關於“赫爾墨斯之鑰”和“賢者之石”的隱喻,纔能理解聖杯所代錶的真正“轉化”力量。  伊萊亞斯得到瞭兩位關鍵盟友的幫助:  索菲婭·莫雷蒂(Sofia Moretti),一位在羅馬齣生的前意大利情報部門分析師。她精通現代加密技術,同時對羅馬天主教會內部的政治鬥爭有著深刻的瞭解。索菲婭的加入,為伊萊亞斯提供瞭在數字時代生存下來的必要技能,以及對梵蒂岡權力結構的敏銳洞察。  老漢斯(Old Hans),一位隱居在瑞士伯爾尼郊外的古籍修復師。漢斯曾是當年參與修復被盜梵蒂岡文獻的專傢,他對古代手稿的紙張、墨水成分和裝訂技術瞭如指掌。他提供瞭一個至關重要的視角:通過分析材料的年代和來源,可以判斷哪些曆史記載是真實的,哪些是後來被篡改的。  迷宮般的追逐  他們的旅程從巴黎的盧浮宮地下密室開始,那裏保存著一份被篡改的聖殿騎士團騎士宣誓詞。綫索引導他們穿越泰晤士河畔的古老教堂,躲避“聖殿騎士團餘孽”設置的陷阱。  在蘇格蘭高地的霧氣彌漫的古堡中,他們發現瞭一係列與瑪利亞抹大拉相關的早期基督教手稿碎片。這些碎片揭示瞭一個令人震驚的理論:聖杯並非一個實物容器,而是一種代代相傳的“知識體係”或“傢族血脈的延續”,它與早期基督教女性在使徒群體中的真實地位息息相關。  追捕者們的行動日益大膽,他們利用媒體散布謠言,試圖將伊萊亞斯描繪成一個癡迷於陰謀論的瘋子。在一次位於威尼斯總督宮的對峙中,伊萊亞斯和索菲婭險些被捕獲。在那裏,他們破解瞭最後一層密碼,發現真正的“聖杯”綫索指嚮瞭文藝復興時期一位被曆史遺忘的女性天文學傢——阿格尼斯·德·拉瓦勒。  終極的揭示  最後的決戰地點設定在瞭意大利多洛米蒂山脈深處,一個在二戰時期被納粹黨衛軍作為秘密研究基地使用的古老洞穴網絡。伊萊亞斯和索菲婭必須趕在“聖殿騎士團餘孽”的首領——一位極具魅力的歐洲金融巨鰐——之前,找到阿格尼斯留下的最終記錄。  當伊萊亞斯終於站在那個塵封的石室中,他麵對的不是金銀財寶或神聖遺物,而是一個復雜的、基於天文曆法和幾何學構建的記錄係統。  《煉金術士之謎:失落的聖杯》探討的,是曆史敘事權力的本質:誰有權決定什麼是神聖的,什麼是異端的?它質疑瞭被主流宗教長期壓製的女性曆史地位,並帶領讀者踏入一個充滿古老智慧、現代陰謀和不朽探索的宏大敘事之中。這是一個關於發現真相的代價,以及當曆史真相被揭露時,信仰將如何被重塑的故事。
