Martin Luther Where Art Thou?
I received this beautiful book as a gift and it is a grand complement to the paperback version. With the Special Illustrated Edition on your lap you no longer need to look up all the magnificent works of art and Renaissance architecture since all the necessary information for any Holy Grail quest is suddenly in front of you. This splendid publication makes it far easier to follow all the hidden clues in the Da Vinci Code, while at the sametime it further helps to bring Dan Brown's wonderful story to life. Not that the Da Vinci Code needs pictures to make it readable! I first read this contoversial story shortly after it was published and it still remains in my top 5 favourite books of all time - No1 Angela's Ashes. It could also prove to be one of the greatest mystery books ever written.
So why all the controversy about a fictional plot with equally fictional characters? For those persons living in Outer Mongolia and County Kerry who haven't yet heard about the Da Vinci Code, the book contains historical information about a secret brotherhood and hidden clues in world famous works of art that communicate knowledge about the survival of the Royal bloodline - The Holy Grail. This knowledge, if true, subsequently challenges the Vatican's perceived origins of its faith and therefore draws into question the legitimatacy of the Catholic Church in modern times; Martin Luther where art thou?
Fact or fiction in relation to the book's historical content, the Da Vinci Code's Special Illustrated Edition further opens up your mind to concepts and ideas which the Vatican considers to be heresy. And having been educated at a single sex Catholic School, I am fully aware of all forms of heresy! However, for Dan Brown fans and Holy Grail enthusiasts alike who prefere to 'Love Thy Neigbour As Thy Self', this edition is a must have if you want to study and research all the art clues and then draw your own conclusions about the survival of The Royal Bloodline.
