Angels & Demons is a
bestselling mystery-
thriller novel written by
American author
Dan Brown and published by
Pocket Books in
2000. It revolves around the quest of fictional
Harvard University symbologist Robert Langdon to uncover the mysteries of a
secret society called the
Illuminati and to unravel a plot to annihilate
Vatican City using destructive
antimatter. The book uses the idea of a historical conflict between
science and
religion, particularly that between the Illuminati and the
Roman Catholic Church.
The novel introduces the character Robert Langdon, who is also the
protagonist of Brown's subsequent
2003 novel,
The Da Vinci Code. It also shares many
stylistic elements with its
sequel, such as
conspiracies of secret societies, a single-day time frame, and the Catholic Church.
Ancient history,
architecture, and
symbolism are also heavily referenced throughout the book. An
eponymous film adaptation was released on
May 15, 2009.
