The origin

Robert Langdon, a Harvard professor of symbols, arrives at the Guggenheim Museum of Modern Art in Bilbao to attend a major announcement in which a discovery will be unveiled that will change the face of the world forever. The host of that event is Edmond Kirsch, a forty-year-old billionaire and futurist. Whose innovations and bold predictions in the field of cutting-edge technology have made him a global personality. Kirsch, who was one of Langdon's early students at Harvard two decades ago, plans to reveal an astonishing scientific breakthrough.. that will answer two of humanity's fundamental questions. As the evening begins, Langdon and the other guests, numbering a few hundred, are treated to a spectacular show. Langdon quickly realizes that it will be much more controversial than he imagined. But the meticulously organized event suddenly plunges into chaos, and Kirsch's precious discovery is on the verge of being lost forever. Following that, Langdon faces serious threats that force him to flee Bilbao. Along with Amira Vidal, the elegant museum director who was collaborating with Kirsch to prepare for that provocative event, they flee to Barcelona in search of an encrypted password that will reveal Kirsch's secret. Langdon and Vidal move through dark corridors of hidden history and extremist beliefs, fleeing from a desperate enemy whose power seems to stem from the Spanish royal palace itself.. and who will not be deterred from silencing Edmond Kirsch. On a path filled with modern art and mysterious symbols, Langdon and Vidal uncover clues that will ultimately bring them face-to-face with Kirsch's astonishing discovery.. and the incredible truth that has always been hidden from us.
