He is advising them out of supposed respect, despite his well-known hatred of organized religion which he blames for his mother's death. Horrified, the three learn that he is presenting it in three days' time, prompting Valdespino to send him a voicemail demanding that he stop or risk being discredited… Volume 6 Book Review: O r i g i n P a g e 2 | 6 Issue 1 Primary Characters: • Robert Langdon: A U.S. professor of symbology at Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts. • Edmond Kirsch: A forty-year-old billionaire and futurist and a former student of Robert Langdon at Harvard. • Ambra Vidal: The director of the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao, fiancé of Spain's Prince Julian and an associate of Edmond Kirsch. • Winston: Edmond Kirsch’s quantum-computer AI assistant, named after Winston Churchill. • Julián: The prince and future king of Spain. • Bishop Antonio Valdespino: The loyal bishop to the Spanish royal family and whom Kirsch meets in the beginning of the novel. • Rabbi Yehuda Köves: A prominent Jewish philosopher. • Syed al-Fadl: A prominent Islamic scholar. • Admiral Luis Ávila: Ex-officer of Spanish Navy who has lost his wife and son to religious extremism and later who become devout member of Palmarian Catholic Church. • Commander Garza: Commander of the Guardia Real who is mistakenly arrested for the murder of Kirsch • Fonseca: Guardia Real Agent • Rafa Díaz: Guardia Real Agent who assists Vidal. • Father Beña of Sagrada Família • Mónica Martín: Public Relation Coordinator, Spanish Palace • Agent Suresh Bhalla: Surveillance specialist, Spanish PalaceNovels are stories, and while they may not be true, they often communicate deep truth. Significant locations visited in the book: Benedictine Monastery Santa Maria de Montserrat, near Barcelona, Spain. Originally occupied as a hermitage high in the Montserrat mountains of Catalonia in 880 AD, the monastery was founded in 1025 AD. This is the opening scene of the story, where Edmond Kirsch meets with three members of the Parliament of the World’s Religions. Volume 6 Book Review: O r i g i n P a g e 3 | 6 Issue 1 Guggenheim Museum Bilboa, in Bilbao, Basque Country, Spain. The “Bilbao” is a museum of modern and contemporary art designed by Canadian- American architect, Frank O. Gehry. The museum is one of the largest in Spain and is considered one of the most admired works of contemporary architecture in the world. Sagrada Familia: Basilica and Expiatory Church of the Holy Family in Barcelona. Spain. Designed by famed Spanish architect Antoni Gaudi, construction began on the basilica in 1872 and was between 15-25% complete by Gaudi’s death in 1926. When completed (est. 2032), the central spire will make it the tallest church in the world. Volume 6 Book Review: O r i g i n P a g e 4 | 6 Issue 1 The Valle de los Caidos (Valley of the Fallen), near Madrid, Spain. This Catholic basilica and monument to the regime of General Francisco Franco, who ruled Spain as a military dictator from 1939 to his death in 1975. One of the world’s largest basilicas, the underground abbey is larger than St. Peter’s in Rome, with the stone cross reaching over 500 feet above ground. The basilica was built by convict labor which was not forced, but allowed convicts to redeem two days of sentence for each day worked on the facility. There is a great Reasons I think this book is of interest to read: • The topics covered are extremely pertinent to our times • The writing style is fast paced and enjoyable • It gives excellent food for thought without presenting right vs. wrong conclusions • The characters are believable and yet challenging. The closing thought: In nature we experience both patterns and codes. A pattern is any organized sequence. Patterns exist everywhere from honeycombs, to seashells to sunflowers. Codes are special, by definition they must carry information. They must do more than simply form a pattern, codes must contain data and convey meaning. Examples of codes are written language, musical notations, mathematical equations, or even a crucifix. All of these can communicate meaning in a way that a spiraling seashell cannot. Codes do not occur naturally in the world- musical notation does not sprout from trees- codes are the deliberate inventions of intelligent conscientiousness. Codes must be created, they don’t just appear organically. What about DNA, the genetic code?

    manusya 23 (2020) 286-304 brill.com/mnya A Dominant Global Translation Strategy in Thai Translated Novels: The Translations of Religious Markers in Dan Brown’s Thriller Novels Wiriya Inphen (วิริยะ อินทร์เพ็ญ) Doctoral Student, Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, University of Jyväskylä, Jyväskylä, Finland [email protected] Abstract When translation is considered as an integral part of larger social systems (Even-Zohar 1990), the ways in which translations are produced to serve readers’ specificity could be affected. This paper examines whether there is a preference for a specific global trans- lation strategy due to a readership that is specialized in terms of education level. Adopting Venuti’s (1995/2008) division of global translation strategies into exoticizing and domesticating translation, it examines the frequency of local translation strate- gies, which are part of a global translation strategy, used in translating English-Thai religious markers in Dan Brown’s Angels and Demons, The Da Vinci Code, The Lost Sym- bol, Inferno and Origin. The religious markers cover words/phrases of belief systems in either Eastern or Western culture. The results show that exoticizing translation is a dominant global translation strategy that translation agents, such as translators and editors, use in literary translations of Anglo-American novels. Keywords translated Anglo-American popular fiction – Thai literary translation – global translation strategy – local translation strategy – religious markers – specialized readership © Wiriya

He is a thriller novelist from United States of America with the works entitled Digital Fortes, Angels & Demons, Deception Point, The Da Vinci Code, The Lost Symbol and Inferno. Some of his novels have the same theme besides the symbol, they are about puzzles, codes, myths, statues, ornaments, cityscapes, history, mystery, psychopath, and ancient organization. Brown is famous since his work on The Da Vinci Code and Angels & Demons. Through the adventures of Robert Langdon in The Da Vinci Code, he took the world because his novels uncover the mysteries of ancient organization Piory of Sion in the history of Christianity. Likewise in Angels & Demons, he also was horrendous of Christian community because in Angels & Demons, Brown‟s uncover the relationship between mystery of the secret organization Illuminati and Vatican. Both of the novels caused controversy and shook the faith of Christians. Thus, it was the starting point Brown gaining prominence as the most controversial novelist in the 21st century. (Lisa, Rogak: 2013). Therefore, in the context of an ancient organization, symbols, myths and mystery that surround his novels attract researchers to read and researched The Lost Symbol. Brown‟s third novel The Lost Symbol released on September 15, 2009. On its first day the book sold one million in hardcover and e-book versions in the U.S., the UK and Canada, making it the fastest selling adult novel in history.

    From Decline of the West to Dawn of Day: Dan Brown's Origin As A

    JANUS HEAD From Decline of the West to Dawn of Day: Dan Brown’s Origin as a Diagnostic of the Present Hub Zwart All rights reserved. Copyright © 2020 by Trivium Publications, Pittsburgh, PA 53 JANUS HEAD ABSTRACT This paper subjects Dan Brown’s most recent novel Origin to a philosophical reading. Origin is regarded as a literary window into contemporary technoscience, inviting us to explore its transformative momentum and disruptive impact, focusing on the cultural significance of artificial intelligence and computer science: on the way in which established world-views are challenged by the incessant wave of scientific discoveries made possible by super-computation. While initially focusing on the tension between science and religion, the novel’s attention gradually shifts to the increased dependence of human beings on smart technologies and artificial (or even “synthetic”) intelligence. Origin’s message, I will argue, reverberates with Oswald Spengler’s The Decline of the West, which aims to outline a morphology of world civilizations. Although the novel starts with a series of oppositions, most notably between religion and science, the eventual tendency is towards convergence, synthesis and sublation, exemplified by Sagrada Família as a monumental symptom of this transition. Three instances of convergence will be highlighted, namely the convergence between science and religion, between humanity and technology and between the natural sciences and the humanities. Keywords: Dan Brown; Decline of the West; Artificial Intelligence; Synthetic Intelligence; Origin of Life; Philosophy of Culture 54 JANUS HEAD JANUS HEAD From Decline of the West to Dawn of Day: Dan Brown’s Origin as a Diagnostic of the Present Introduction explored and assessed.

    11 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1. Background of the Study Dan Brown Is a Writer Whose Book Series, Robert Langdon Series, Become

    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1. Background of the Study Dan Brown is a writer whose book series, Robert Langdon series, become the best seller books. The series consists of five books: Angel and Demons, Da Vinci Code, The Lost Symbol, Inferno, and Origin. The author, Dan Brown, writes the book series to reflect his passions in mystery, symbols, religion, and science. Brown curiosity has started since he was a child about the story the origin of human between the Bible‘s version and science (Tarantino, 2017). His interests in religion shown in the Robert Langdon series which all based on Catholics theme(Nelson, 2007). Dan Brown book series is published to offer spiritual journey and as an entertaining book that creates a discussion and debate on a conspiracy. Origin (Brown, 2017) is the fifth book of the series. Origin was published on October 3rd, 2017. The book is talking about the association between religion, technology, and science. As the book tells the story of Langdon‘s search after his friend‘s death to find an answer to the questions about ―who human beings are‖ and ‗where human beings are‖, the book is potentially misunderstood as an anti-Christian book as it questions the existence of God. However, the writer‘s intention in this study is not to argue on the religious virtue of Christianity. The writer focuses on the religious symbols employed in the book, Dan Brown's Origin. In discussing the symbols, the writer will be assisted by the research from Junia Laksmanawati (2016) and Victoria Nelson (2007). 11 Laksmanawati (2016) studied the representation of angels in Legion, the movie.

Ultraconservatives in a Contentious Cusp between Past and Future: A Review of Dan Brown’s novel "Origin" Abstract Taking Dan Brown’s latest novel Originas a thought-provoking heuristic device, this essay discusses the many facets of ultraconservatives’ anti-intellectualism (from their stances on evolution and climate change, and also their conspiracy theories). Brown’s novel particularly details the cultural tension between progressives and conservatives, depicting a very real far-right and how they respond to a hopeful and diverse youth (while exploring how political perception, fake news, and public information in the virtual era affect politics). The essay concludes that by raging war at science and deliberately making policies against progress, conservatives are at war against rationality itself, by defaming reason and allowing fascistic-authoritarianism to shape politics when, at the age of information, we should be moving to a more open, democratic, and post-capitalist world.
