Secrets of Angels & Demons: The Unauthorized Guide to the Bestselling Novel - Hardcover

From the team that brought you the New York Times bestselling SECRETS OF THE CODE: The Unauthorized Guide to the Mysteries Behind The Da Vinci Code, comes the first literary companion to Dan Brown’s bestselling novel, Angels & Demons.   SECRETS OF ANGELS & DEMONS provides the curious reader with concise, authoritative explorations of the major themes that help propel the plot of Angels & Demons. Featuring extracts, interviews, and specially commissioned commentary by world-renowned scholars, SECRETS OF ANGELS & DEMONS presents a wealth of information on the vast range of subjects covered in the novel.   Taking the same comprehensive, detailed approach as SECRETS OF THE CODE, SECRETS OF ANGELS & DEMONS delves into and deconstructs the provocative issues raised in the novel – the existence and scope of the Illuminati and their relationship to other ‘Secret Societies’ (the Priory of Sion, the Freemasons, Opus Dei, etc.), the ongoing debate between Science and Religion, the history and practices of the Vatican, pagan symbolism and its place within the Church.
