Klappentext 'Seek and ye shall find.' With these words echoing in his head, eminent Harvard symbologist Robert Langdon awakes in a hospital bed with no recollection of where he is or how he got there. Nor can he explain the origin of the macabre object that is found hidden in his belongings. A threat to his life will propel him and a young doctor, Sienna Brooks, into a breakneck chase across the city of Florence. Only Langdon's knowledge of hidden passageways and ancient secrets that lie behind its historic facade can save them from the clutches of their unknown pursuers. With only a few lines from Dante's dark and epic masterpiece, The Inferno , to guide them, they must decipher a sequence of codes buried deep within some of the most celebrated artefacts of the Renaissance - sculptures, paintings, buildings - to find the answers to a puzzle which may, or may not, help them save the world from a terrifying threat. Set against an extraordinary landscape inspired by one of history's most ominous literary classics, Inferno is Dan Brown's most compelling and thought-provoking novel yet, a breathless race-against-time thriller that will grab you from page one and not let you go until you close the book.

    Written on 22. December 2013 by leser69.

    Dan Browns neuestes Buch mit Robert Langdon in der Hauptrolle ist sehr gelungen. Obwohl mich die Geschichte an sich spannungsmässig nicht so sehr hineingezogen hat wie seine vorherigen Bücher, ist die Grundthematik des Buches (Überbevölkerung, Transhumanismus etc.) äusserst spannend und das Buch regt definitv zum Denken an.
    Gerade die Tatsache, dass Dan Brown dem Leser überlässt, ob er den "Bösewicht" tatsächlich als böse oder nicht vielmehr als Held ansehen möchte, macht die Thematik moralisch spannend und man kann sich fragen, ob Dan Brown geradezu eine Botschaft an die Menschheit senden will mit seinem Buch.. Das Ende des Buches ist recht offen und wirkt untypisch für einen Thriller. Mir jedoch hat es sehr gefallen. Absolut empfehlenswert wenn man Interesse an Kunst, Geschichte und ethischen Gedankenspielen hat!
