Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the chief prefect of archives is found mysteriously murdered in the Vatican Secret Archives, it unleashes a secret that has been safely buried for two thousand years. But a question arises from the dead: the victim was a follower of the long-lost religious group, the Cathars, a group of Medieval Christians who believes they were the heirs of the original teaching of Jesus. A renowned Daily Telegraph journalist, Jessica Keith, is assigned to cover the mysterious murder. Something unexpected happens when she meets a British numerologist, Professor Aaron Barone at a seminar in the University of London. They suddenly become fugitives when another murder takes place at his home in Hampstead. The church is trying to cover up the murder to keep their interests guarded. But the utmost of all secrets cannot be kept forever. Another secret is uncovered by the amateur art lover, Jacob Walmer. It lays embedded in the work of Michelangelo on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, in The Last Judgment. But it is not a discovery that the world wants to hear about. It is a secret that the church wants to bury forever, before it becomes a dark history in the modern Christian era. How will Professor Aaron correlate to the mysterious murder? What about Jacobs attempt to solve the well-guarded puzzle in history? Will Jessica succeed in exposing the truth of her religion to the world?

Download or read book The Sistine Secrets written by Benjamin Blech and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2008-04-29 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Five hundred years ago Michelangelo began work on a painting that became one of the most famous pieces of art in the world—the Sistine Chapel ceiling. Every year millions of people come to see Michelangelo's Sistine ceiling, which is the largest fresco painting on earth in the holiest of Christianity's chapels; yet there is not one single Christian image in this vast, magnificent artwork. The Sistine Secrets tells the fascinating story of how Michelangelo embedded messages of brotherhood, tolerance, and freethinking in his painting to encourage "fellow travelers" to challenge the repressive Roman Catholic Church of his time. "Driven by the truths he had come to recognize during his years of study in private nontraditional schooling in Florence, truths rooted in his involvement with Judaic texts as well as Kabbalistic training that conflicted with approved Christian doctrine, Michelangelo needed to find a way to let viewers discern what he truly believed. He could not allow the Church to forever silence his soul. And what the Church would not permit him to communicate openly, he ingeniously found a way to convey to those diligent enough to learn his secret language."—from the Preface Blech and Doliner reveal what Michelangelo meant in the angelic representations that brilliantly mocked his papal patron, how he managed to sneak unorthodox heresies into his ostensibly pious portrayals, and how he was able to fulfill his lifelong ambition to bridge the wisdom of science with the strictures of faith. The Sistine Secrets unearths secrets that have remained hidden in plain sight for centuries.

Download or read book The Real Michelangelo Code written by Constantin Soreanu and published by Strategic Book Publishing. This book was released on 2013-01 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Real Michelangelo Code is a humorous story that depicts the life and achievements of Moses. Entertaining, satirical, and very funny, this book not only tells the story of Moses, it also recounts the lives of some of the most malefic persons to have ever lived, as well as those of some of the most beneficial figures to have influenced mankind. But the story is mainly centered around Moses, a monumental character who had the strength to unite the prehistoric Jewish tribes and lead them to the Promised Land. While the book is presented in the form of a burlesque, the story it tells is one that has resonated throughout the centuries and remains relevant today. The Real Michelangelo Code concludes with a short and chilling prediction regarding where the world may be headed in the future. Author Constantin Soreanu intended this book as a satirical reaction to Dan Brown's The Da Vinci Code, and the means in which that work commercialized religion and history. Constantin Soreanu was raised in Bucharest, Romania and is a graduate of the University of Foreign Trade in Bucharest.After a successful career that involved living and working in New York City for a time, the author is now retired. Not being in the best of health, he now spends what time he can writing. Currently he is working on a follow-up story, set to be titled The Men from Sheol.
