Harvard professor Robert Langdon receives an urgent late-night phone call while on business in Paris: the elderly curator of the Louvre, Jacques Sauni're, has been brutally murdered inside the museum. Alongside the body, police have found a series of baffling codes. As Langdon and a gifted French cryptologist, Sophie Neveu, begin to sort through the bizarre riddles, they are stunned to find a trail that leads to the works of Leonardo Da Vinci – and suggests the answer to a mystery that stretches deep into the vault of history.Langdon suspects the late curator was involved in the Priory of Sion – a centuries old secret society – and has sacrificed his life to protect the Priory's most sacred trust: the location of a vastly important religious relic hidden for centuries. But it now appears that Opus Dei, a clandestine sect that has long plotted to seize the Prirory's secret, has now made its move. Unless Langdon and Neveu can decipher the labyrinthine code and quickly assemble the pieces of the puzzle, the Priory's secret – and a stunning historical truth – will be lost forever…Breaking the mould of traditional suspense novels, The Da Vinci Code is simultaneously lightning-paced, intelligent and intricately layered with remarkable research and detail. And in this exclusive edition Dan Brown allows the reader behind the scenes of the novel which now incorporates over 150 photographs and illustrations throughout the text showing the rich historical tapestry from which he drew his inspiration. The visual sources which provide both the backdrop and the stimulus for the novel's action are revealed for the first time and uniquely complement the reading experience.--front flap

The Brothers Karamazov
Dostoevsky's towering reputation as one of the handful of thinkers who forged the modern sensibility has sometimes obscured the purely novelistic virtues, brilliant characterizations, flair for suspense and melodrama, and instinctive theatricality that made his work so immensely popular in nineteenth-century Russia. The Brothers Karamazov, his last and greatest novel, published just before his death in 1881, which chronicles the bitter love-hate struggle between the outsized Fyodor Karamazov and his three very different sons. It is above all the story of a murder, told with hair-raising intellectual clarity, and a feeling for the human condition unsurpassed in world literature.This award-winning translation by Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky is the definitive version in English, which magnificently captures the rich and subtle energies of Dostoevsky's masterpiece.

Over the course of the following years, he manages to establish himself as a respected and prosperous pillar of the community of Casterbridge, but behind his success there always lurk the shameful secret of his past and a personality prone to self-destructive pride and temper.

Animal Farm
Take a few seconds and think about a major event in history where you felt a strong reaction. You may have felt sadness, confusion, or anger. How did you express these emotions? Did you share them with others? Not surprisingly, authors often write about historical events that have touched them. Through their novels, the authors are able to express their point of view and even shape a theme that may influence, challenge, or change our point of view to the event. In his novel Animal Farm, George Orwell takes an event in history and interprets it to show his point of view. Animal Farm retells the story of the Russian Revolution and the rise to power of Joseph Stalin. Through his novel, Orwell hoped to show that the end result of the Revolution was a more oppressive and controlling government than the people had worked to overthrow. The characters in the novel represent the political figures of the time, and Orwell even mirrors similar actions and events.
