Biography
According to Forbes magazine, the author of the bestselling book about Leonardo da Vinci is included in the TOP-16 most "expensive" world writers. Fans of Dan Brown's talent love his compositions for the genre fusion of thriller and intellectual detective.
Opponents call the writer a hoaxer and adventurer, masterfully inventing "secrets" and "riddles" where they are not. But Brown's novels are sold in sky-high circulations, are filmed, and a multi-million army of fans is looking forward to new fascinating works.
fact
Childhood and youth
The writer was born in New Hampshire, American in the summer of 1964. He grew up in an intelligent family where music and mathematics were organically intertwined. The head of the family, Professor Brown, taught mathematics at the Phillips-Exeter Academy. Children in high schools in America study on the aid of Richard Brown. Mom Constance Brown in the same elite educational institution worked as a music teacher and played the organ in the Episcopal Church.
Dan with his brother Gregory and sister Valerie grew up in a warm atmosphere of parental love and attention. Mom and Dad made the life of the offspring rich and exciting: the love of puzzles was instilled in children from an early age. At Christmas, the guys did not take gifts under the tree, but found them, focusing on a map with tips. Having solved the poetic charades and "secret codes", they guessed about the place where the parents had hidden the "treasure".
Dan Brown graduated from a private school at the academy, and then the academy itself, in which his father and mother taught. The atmosphere in an independent private educational institution was like a closed society. And the town itself was famous for several public organizations similar to the orders of Masons.
After graduating from the academy, Dan Brown continued his education at Massachusetts Amherst College, where he joined the Psi Upsilon Society. Brown graduated from the last course at the Spanish University of Seville, where he chose linguistics. In 1986 he became a bachelor.
The first years after university Dan Brown built a musical career. He wrote the lyrics and music for his songs himself. Soon Brown's CDs were released, but concerts and tours to the young singer were sickened, and he retired from musical affairs.
Dan Brown moved to the Hollywood Hills, closer to the "dream factory", and got a job at the "Beverly Hills School". But after 2 years, in 1993, he returned to his native Exeter, where he taught languages.
fact
Literature
The first page of Brown's creative biography was written in 1995. Dan has written the humorous book 187 Men To Stay Away From: A Survival Guide for Romantically Disappointed Women. Brown would later call it a "silly comic book" and be glad the publishers didn't print it.
Brown's passion for the history of religious orders and societies, the work of the secret services and cryptography prompted the writing of the second book and the first novel, created in the genre of thriller. “Digital Fortress” is a work about the secret work of special services and the thinnest line separating personal freedom and state security.
Dan Brown came up with the idea for the novel when intelligence agents dropped in to a closed school. By showing their ID, they said the Phillips-Exeter student posed a threat to the state. The NSA guy found a threat to kill the president in his email.
Dan Brown became interested in the details of electronic surveillance, intelligence gathering and search engines. The writer was so carried away by writing a novel that he got up no later than 4 in the morning and managed to compose a dozen pages before class. The book was written in less than a year.
In 2000, the second conspiracy novel, called "Angels and Demons", matured. Brown wrote it, mixing the genres of detective and thriller. The prehistory of creation is an accident: the tour guide, showing the Vatican, pointed out to Dan and other excursionists to the secret corridor of the residence, with which the Pope could leave the premises if his life was in danger. The tour guide called the Illuminati the worst enemies of the Vatican. Soon the novelist came across a rare tome of a Jesuit theologian, which described the secrets of the rite of the Pope's election. The writer understood who he would make the hero of the future book.
A year later, Dan Brown took to the publishing house the action-packed novel The Point of Deception, in which he raised the issue of the morality of politics.
The first three books did not bring fame to the novelist, so Dan Brown pinned his hopes on the fourth. The idea of "The Da Vinci Code" arose during his studies in Spain. At a lecture on the history of art, the teacher, talking about the work of the genius Leonardo, drew the students' attention to inexplicable details on the master's canvases, similar to the ciphers of messages. 21-year-old Brown, who has been fond of puzzles and charades since childhood, the lecture caused a storm of emotions and a desire to unravel the "encoding".
The Da Vinci Code was published in 2003 and produced the effect of an exploding bomb. On the first day, readers bought 6,000 copies out of 230,000 printed. Book publishers responded to the unprecedented demand by translating the book into 40 languages and printing 81 million copies of the novel. The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal named The Da Vinci Code their # 1 book hit.
Three years later, the largest film companies Columbia Pictures and Sony Pictures filmed Brown's novel, investing $ 125 million in filming. From the rental of the picture, the American writer, according to various estimates, earned from $ 250 to $ 300 million.
The excitement of The Da Vinci Code has piqued demand for the writer's earlier novels. The publishers have reprinted the modest editions of Digital Fortress, Angels and Demons, and Points of Deception. Dan Brown made $ 260 million from the publication of four detectives.
It is noteworthy that the Da Vinci Code traces a connection with the previous thriller, Angels and Demons: the novels are linked by a common hero - Professor Robert Langdon. There were readers who drew a parallel between Langdon and Harry Potter, calling the professor the matured hero of the cult novel by J.K. Rowling.
Dan Brown becomes world famous. The new star is being interviewed by Time, People, New Yorker and Forbes. But the novelist also has critics in abundance. Skeptics called the novels pseudoscientific, and writers ridiculed Brown's style. The famous English poet and editor Tom Chivers called the American's prose "lead", and scholars smashed the claims of the novelist in the prefaces to works that the detective stories are based on historical facts. For example, in "Angels and Demons" the author writes that Nicolaus Copernicus was burned by the Catholics at the stake, while the astronomer lived to old age and died of a stroke.
There are other inconsistencies and false statements that cut the ears of educated readers. Raphael was "buried" by Dan Brown in the town of Urbino in eastern Italy, while in reality the artist's ashes have always rested in the Roman Pantheon. Galileo Galilei, the writer "introduced" into the occult order of the Illuminati, although the society arose a century after the death of the Italian scientist.
In 2009, Dan Brown delighted his army of fans with a new novel, The Lost Symbol. The main character is the same Harvard professor Langdon. On the first day, readers swept a million copies off the shelves of bookstores. The American publishing house Doubleday has printed 6.5 million books, breaking previous typography records.
In May 2013, Dan Brown presented the readers with the detective novel "Inferno", which takes place in the 21st century, but is intertwined with the plot of the poem "The Divine Comedy" by Dante Alighieri. And again the hero of the novel is Robert Langdon.
Inferno is Dan Brown's third film adaptation. The film of the same name was released in 2016. Director Ron Howard entrusted Tom Hanks and Felicity Jones with the lead roles in the thriller.
fact
Personal life
A place for secrets and conspiracy theories was found in Brown's personal life. The fact that the wife of the writer Blyth Brown (Blythe Newlon) plays the first violin in the novelist's work, the public learned at the trial in 2007. Brown was suspected of plagiarism, and in court ordered to disclose the details and details of the writing of the novels. It turned out that the idea of "The Da Vinci Code" belongs to Blis. The writer's wife collects and organizes information used by her husband in his essays. Moreover, Blyth is involved in writing novels: Dan Brown admitted that he was “not very good at details,” and his wife helps him.
Blythe Newlon was born in California. The couple met in Los Angeles when art critic and artist Blythe was 39 years old, and Dan was 27. This is all that is known about Newlon's past.
After a failure in his musical career, Dan Brown returned to Exeter with his 12-year-old friend. Brown and Newlon got married in 1997. The woman became a wife, a mother of two, and a collaborator (some claim to be a co-author) of Dan's bestselling books.
There are also those who call Blyth the author of novels, saying that she deliberately faded into the background for mercantile reasons: in the patriarchal world, more success belongs to works written by men. But this version is from the realm of rumors and speculation. Nevertheless, Dan Brown devotes all his novels to her, his beloved wife.
The Brown family acquired a plot in a remote area of Hampshire, in the woods. The house, built by the spouses, looks like a fortress and is equipped with the latest alarm systems.
fact
Dan Brown now
Brown fans are in anticipation of a new sensation: for the fall of 2017, Dan Brown's novel Origins has been announced. The author keeps the plot a secret, but the idol of millions, Professor Langdon, will appear again.
Representatives of the publishing houses Transworld and Doubleday, which own the rights to print, hint that in the "Origin" readers will again expect ciphers, secrets, scientific theories and the answer to the oldest questions that have haunted humanity for thousands of years.
