About Dan Brown

Dan Brown is an American writer who was born in 1964. He studied Art and Literature, but he has a passion for codes, symbols and conspiracies, as evinced in his writing. This fascination began at a young age, as codes were an important part of the Brown household; Brown and his siblings did not simply find their Christmas presents under a tree, for example, but had to find them with a map. Although he began writing in 1997 and published his first novel, Digital Fortress, in 1998, Brown only achieved international fame and success with The Da Vinci Code.
