Childhood and youth
The writer was born in American New Hampshire 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. According to the manual of Richard Brown, children study in high schools in America. Mom Constance Brown in the same elite educational institution worked as a music teacher and played the organ in the Episcopal Church.
Dan, 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, guided by the map with clues. Having solved the poetic charades and "secret ciphers", they guessed about the place where the parents hid the "treasure".
Dan Brown graduated from a private school at the academy, and then the academy itself, where his father and mother taught. The atmosphere in an independent private educational institution resembled a closed society. Yes, and the town itself was famous for several public organizations, similar to the orders of Masons.
Young Dan Brown with his brother After receiving an academy diploma, Dan Brown continued his education at Amherst College, Massachusetts, where he joined the Psi Upsilon Society. Brown completed his last year 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. Brown's CDs soon came out, but the young singer was disgusted with concerts and tours, 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 2 years later, in 1993, he returned to his native Exeter, where he taught languages.
Literature
The first page of Brown's creative biography was written in 1995. Dan wrote the humorous book 187 Men to Stay Away from: A Survival Guide for Romantically Disillusioned Women. Later, Brown would call what was written "a stupid humorous book" and be glad that the publishers did not print it.
Brown's passion for the history of religious orders and societies, the work of intelligence agencies and cryptography prompted the writing of the second book and the first novel created in the thriller genre. "Digital Fortress" is a work about the secret work of special services and the thinnest line separating personal freedom and state security.
The idea for the novel came from Dan Brown, when agents of the special services looked into the closed school. Presenting their ID, they declared that the student of Phillips-Exeter was a threat to the state. The NSA found a threat to kill the president in the guy's 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 by mixing detective and thriller genres. The background of creation is an accident: the guide, showing the Vatican, pointed out to Dan and other tourists to the secret corridor of the residence, with the help of which the pope could leave the premises if his life was in danger. The 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 election of the pope. The writer understood who he would make the hero of the future book.
A year later, Dan Brown took the action-packed novel Point of Deception to the publishing house, in which he raised the problem 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 for The Da Vinci Code came about while studying 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 ciphers of messages. For 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 released in 2003 and had the effect of a bombshell. On the first day, readers purchased 6,000 copies out of 230,000 printed. Book publishers responded to the unprecedented demand, translated the book into 40 languages and printed 81 million copies of the novel. The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal named The Da Vinci Code the No. 1 book hit.
After 3 years, the largest film companies Columbia Pictures and Sony Pictures filmed Brown's novel, investing $ 125 million in filming. According to various estimates, the American writer earned from the rental of the picture from $250 to $300 million.
The hype from The Da Vinci Code created a demand for the writer's previous novels. The publishers completed modest print runs of Digital Fortress, Angels and Demons, and Point of Deception. Dan Brown made $260 million from Four Detectives.
It is noteworthy that in The Da Vinci Code there is a connection with the previous thriller Angels and Demons: the novels are connected 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 a cult novel.
Dan Brown becomes a world celebrity. The new star is being interviewed by Time, People, The New Yorker and Forbes. But the novelist also has plenty of critics. Skeptics have called the novels pseudo-scientific, while literati have ridiculed Brown's style. The famous English poet and editor Tom Chivers called the American's prose "leady", and scientists smashed the novelist's statements in the prefaces to the works that historical facts are the basis of detective stories. For example, in Angels and Demons, the author writes that the Catholics were burned at the stake, while the astronomer lived to an advanced age and died of a stroke.
Dan Brown and his book "The Lost Symbol" There are other inconsistencies and false statements, "cutting" the ear of educated readers. Dan Brown "buried" in the town of Urbino in eastern Italy, while in reality the ashes of the artist have always rested in the Roman Pantheon. the writer "introduced" the Illuminati into the occult order, although the society arose a century after the death of the Italian scientist.
In 2009, Dan Brown delighted an army of fans with a new novel called 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 printing records.
In May 2013, Dan Brown presented readers with the detective novel Inferno, in which the events take place in the 21st century, but are intertwined with the plot of the poem The Divine Comedy. And again the hero of the novel is Robert Langdon.
Inferno is the third film adaptation of Dan Brown's novel. The film of the same name was released in 2016. Director Ron Howard entrusted the main roles in the thriller and.
Personal life
There was a place for secrets and conspiracy theories in Brown's personal life. The fact that the wife of the writer Bliss Brown (Blythe Newlon) plays the first violin in the work of the novelist, the public learned at a trial in 2007. Brown was suspected of plagiarism, and at the trial ordered to reveal the details and details of writing novels. It turned out that the idea for The Da Vinci Code belongs to Blis. The writer's wife collects and organizes information used by her husband in his writings. Moreover, Bliss is involved in writing novels: Dan Brown admitted that he is “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 and Dan was 27. That's all we know about Newlon's past.
After a failure in his musical career, Dan Brown returned to Exeter with his 12-year-old girlfriend. Brown and Newlon got married in 1997. The woman became a wife, mother of two children and an associate (some say co-author) of Dan's bestsellers.
There are also those who call Blis the author of novels, saying that she deliberately faded into the background for mercantile reasons: in a patriarchal world, works written by men are more successful. But this version is from the realm of rumors and speculation. Nevertheless, Dan Brown dedicates all his novels to her, his beloved wife.
The Brown family purchased a plot in a remote area of Hampshire, in the forest. The house, built by the couple, looks like a fortress and is equipped with the latest alarm system.
Dan Brown now
Brown's fans are in anticipation of a new sensation: the release of Dan Brown's novel "Origin" has been announced for the fall of 2017. The author keeps the plot a secret, but the idol of millions, Professor Langdon, will appear again.
