Oorsprong

Robert Langdon, Harvard professor of symbology, arrives at the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao, Spain, to witness a major announcement from his former student, the billionaire futurist Edmond Kirsch. Kirsch has made a discovery he claims will answer two of the most fundamental questions of human existence: Where do we come from, and where are we going? He believes his breakthrough will not just challenge the foundations of world religions but will change the face of science forever. The meticulously orchestrated evening, however, erupts into chaos before the secret can be revealed, and Kirsch's discovery teeters on the brink of being lost.

In the aftermath, Langdon is forced to flee with the museum's elegant director, Ambra Vidal. Together, they embark on a perilous quest across Spain, from Barcelona's stunning architectural landmarks to the dark corridors of hidden history. They must decipher a trail of enigmatic symbols and modern art to locate a cryptic password that will unlock Kirsch's world-altering secret. Pursued by a tormented and powerful enemy who will stop at nothing to silence them, Langdon and Vidal must confront the dangerous intersection of science and faith to unveil a truth that has long eluded humankind.
