Dan 'Da Vinci' Brown's Angels and Demons Hits Chinese Market

2005/03/30

To help offset China's large demand for author Dan Brown's controversial The Da Vinci Code, the People's Literature Publishing House is now marketing a Chinese version of another Dan Brown novel, Angels and Demons.

This work is the prequel to the Da Vinci tale, but if you are interested in Illuminati folklore, this is a book for you. In it, you will be reunited with Robert Langdon, who is also the hero of The Da Vinci Code.

The phenomenal success of Brown's Da Vinci book, a religious thriller, has resulted in publishers trying to solve their own mystery: Is there a book out there that can match the popularity of a novel that has sold 18 million copies and has been on various bestselling lists for many months?. Maybe, but any contender will need to produce the right mix of conspiracy and history, according to publishing insiders.
