It′s 2006 and Nepal is a country torn apart by war, greed and corruption. Caught in the middle are the Nepalese children, snatched and sold into slavery, the kidnappers promising their families that they will be taken to a safe haven from where they will eventually return. Some of the luckier ones are finally dumped in an orphanage, only to be found by Conor, an unlikely philanthropist. Conor′s search for intrepid adventure on the cusp of 30 soon becomes a dangerous and haphazard mission, buoyed by the energy and adoration of the children. Conor nevertheless vows to do everything he can, including risk his own life, to bring these lost children back to their families. The process is painstaking and chaotic, involving weeks of trekking across inhospitable peaks and surmounting the infinite cultural and language barriers, but the children′s raucous happiness on seeing photos of their parents after years of separation, abandonment and fear make the wounds, the danger, the freezing cold and the food poisoning pale into insignificance. An epic thriller and also a love story, Little Princes is as full of life and hope as the children Conor′s organisation, Next Generation Nepal, continues to save every day.

Maintenant que tout est découvert, ils vont parler à ma place. L'IRA, les Britanniques, ma famille, mes proches, des journalistes que je n'ai même jamais rencontrés. Certains oseront vous expliquer pourquoi et comment j'en suis venu à trahir. Des livres seront peut-être écrits sur moi, et j'enrage. N'écoutez rien de ce qu'ils prétendront. Ne vous fiez pas à mes ennemis, encore moins à mes amis. Détournez-vous de ceux qui diront m'avoir connu. Personne n'a jamais été dans mon ventre, personne. Si je parle aujourd'hui, c'est parce que je suis le seul à pouvoir dire la vérité. Parce qu'après moi, j'espère le silence.

Robert Langdon, conceituado simbologista, está em Paris para fazer uma palestra quando recebe uma notícia inesperada: o velho curador do Louvre foi encontrado morto no museu, e um código indecifrável encontrado junto ao cadáver. Na tentativa de decifrar o estranho código, Langdon e uma dotada criptologista francesa, Sophie Neveu, descobrem, estupefactos, uma série de pistas inscritas nas obras de Leonardo da Vinci, que o pintor engenhosamente disfarçou. Tudo se complica quando Langdon descobre uma surpreendente ligação: o falecido curador estava envolvido com o Priorado de Sião, uma sociedade secreta a que tinham pertencido Sir Isaac Newton, Botticelli, Victor Hugo e Da Vinci, entre outros.
