THE MAN BEHIND THE DA VINCI CODE: THE BIOGRAPHY OF DAN BROWN

Book ID/图书代码： 08900005B06075

English Summary/英文概要： Investigating the criticism from Catholic and evangelical Protestant detractors, this book reveals how and why Brown became infatuated with secret societies. It details why he has withdrawn from public life. This is the only biography available of the Dan Brown. Two years ago, he was a relatively unknown author, with three novels in print that had sold a cumulative total of 20,000 copies in hardcover and paperback. Today, he is a mega-bestselling author, with more than 34 million copies of his fourth novel in print around the world. This is an adrenaline-loaded story of a non-blockbuster writer in a race against time to write his breakout novel or face the prospect of being trapped by mediocrity. Revealing little-known details of Brown’s unusual work habits - involving gravity boots, an antique hourglass and voice-recognition technology - Rogak charts Brown’s struggles as a writer pre-"Da Vinci Code" and the windfall that occurred once published. Why in the face of a public lawsuit for plagiarism did Brown refuse to sign an affidavit unambiguously affirming he is the sole author of "The Da Vinci Code"? What links Brown’s early career as a middle-of-the-road pop singer with his status as Random House’s bestselling author to date? Drawing on personal interviews with friends and former colleagues, newspaper articles and transcripts dating back to 1998, when his first novel, "Digital Fortress", was published, Rogak’s biography will be published shortly before the general release of Ron Howard’s movie version of "The Da Vinci Code", starring Tom Hanks, Audrey Tautou and Ian McKellan.
