He was a graduate of Amherst College and Phillips Exeter Academy, where he spent time as an English teacher before turning his efforts to writing. In 1996, his interest in code-breaking and covert government agencies led him to write his first novel, Digital Fortress, which quickly became a #1 national bestselling eBook. In its first week on sale, The Da Vinci Code debuted at #1 on The New York Times Bestseller list, simultaneously topping bestseller lists at The Wall Street Journal, Publishers Weekly, and San Francisco Chronicle. Later, the book hit #1 on every major bestseller list in the country. The book was made into a motion picture by Columbia Pictures, starring Tom Hanks. Brown's other works include Deception Point; Angels and Demons, which was also adapted into a film, The Lost Symbol, and Inferno, which was recently adapted into a film. Origin is his latest New York Times bestseller. His novels have been translated and published in more than 50 languages around the world.

| Courte biographie | Dan Brown est diplômé du Amherst College et de l’Université de Phillips, Exeter, où il enseigna un temps l’anglais avant de porter tous ses efforts sur l’écriture. En 1996, son intérêt pour le « cassage de codes » et les agences gouvernementales secrètes l’amena à écrire son premier roman, Forteresse Digitale, qui devint très rapidement le livre le plus vendu à l’échelle nationale. Se déroulant au sein de la secrète National Security Agency (NSA), le roman explore le lien très fin qui existe entre liberté individuelle et sécurité nationale. Deception Point, que Dan Brown a publié ensuite, est tourné vers les mêmes enjeux politiques et moraux, la sécurité nationale, et les technologies classées confidentielles.
Fils d’un professeur de mathématiques récompensé par le Prix Présidentiel et d’une musicienne professionnelle respectée, Dan Brown grandit entouré de philosophies paradoxales, entre sciences et religion. Ces perspectives complémentaires lui ont servi d’inspiration pour son roman Anges et Démons – un thriller opposant sciences et religion qui se déroule dans un laboratoire de physique en Suisse et dans la Cité du Vatican.
La femme de Dan, Blythe – peintre et passionnée d’histoire de l’art– l’aide dans ses recherches et l’accompagne dans ses nombreux voyages. Avec Blythe, il a ensuite commencé à travailler à une série de thrillers ayant trait à la science des symboles, et mettant en scène à nouveau son célèbre héros Robert Langdon, un professeur d’Harvard en iconographie et art religieux. Ainsi est né le Da Vinci code, le roman qui a fait le triomphe que l’on sait dans tous les pays du monde.  | |
