The first hundred-pages just set the tone for the next three-hundred pages to follow. A brush upon Darwin’s ‘The Origin of Species’ to ‘Miller-Urey’ experiment and other existing theories on the origin of life on Earth and you may still be biting your nails for the great revelation. “What are the two fundamental questions that have been asked by the human race throughout our entire history?…how did it all begin? Where do we come from?…Where are we going?” And, you get to run between Nietzsche and Blake. The only bit of code that got me interested was Langdon trying to find the forty-seven character password to Kirsch’s presentation, a line from his favourite poem. In ‘Origin’, at times the keys are so simple that they could be an abbreviation, BIO for Bilbao airport, or an Uber taxi logo. Moving on, in any Dan Brown book, the high point is the decrypting a symbol.

She happens to be a commoner, a curator at Guggenheim Museum whom the Prince of Spain (the future King) has recently proposed. Edmond Kirsch is Professor Langdon’s former student who is now an internationally renowned Scientist and Futurist.Īmbra Vidal, the future Queen of Spain is Langdon’s partner in this book. ![]() Professor Robert Langdon is flown into the famous Guggenheim Museum Bilbao in Spain to attend this event.

He called for this secretive meeting with the religious leaders from across the world to reveal his discovery on our ‘Origin’ question. ![]() The story begins with Edward Kirsch at Montserrat in Catalonia, Spain. ‘Origin’ is the fifth installment in the Robert Langdon series, the Harvard Professor of Symbology (of course a fictional academic discipline) wearing a Mickey Mouse watch, with an eidetic memory and spectacular decoding skills. Though the book I read before ‘Origin’ was a bit of a dampener, ‘ The Lost Symbol’ compared to the previous two books. I am unabashedly a big Dan Brown fan owing to the memories of reading ‘ Da Vinci Code’ and ‘ Angels and Demons’. ‘ Origin’ was a much-anticipated read for me.
