Origin
Origin by Dan Brown is the latest riveting instalment in the renowned Robert Langdon series, beloved by millions around the globe. As the Harvard professor of symbology and religious iconology, Robert Langdon, attends an exclusive event at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, he is anticipating the revelation of a groundbreaking scientific discovery made by his friend, the maverick billionaire futurist, Edmond Kirsch. Known for his impressive technological innovations and controversial predictions, Kirsch's latest revelation promises to answer two of humanity’s most enduring questions: "Where do we come from? Where are we going?".
The meticulously planned evening, however, descends into chaos when danger strikes, threatening to annihilate Kirsch's precious discovery. Langdon, amidst the turmoil, teams up with the museum's director, the elegant and mysterious Ambra Vidal. With his life and the groundbreaking information at risk, Langdon embarks on a treacherous journey with Vidal, racing against time to unlock Kirsch’s cryptic secret. Their quest takes them from the historic streets of Bilbao to the cultural heart of Barcelona, in pursuit of a password that holds the key to Kirsch’s stunning discovery.
As they flee from a cunning adversary who seems to anticipate their every move, Langdon and Vidal delve into a hidden world of religious intrigue and art symbols. They must navigate a maze of enigmatic clues, extreme ideologies, and modern artistic puzzles. Their quest will lead them to uncover a profound truth that has been meticulously guarded through the ages.
