Abstrak:

This article explores the influence of Dan Brown’s biography on the symbolic and stylistic structure of his fiction. It argues that Dan Brown’s upbringing in an environment where scientific rationality and religious symbolism coexisted shaped his distinctive narrative approach. The study demonstrates how this dual intellectual background is reflected in Dan Brown’s use of symbols, codes, and interdisciplinary references, which function as bridges between reason and belief. Rather than providing autobiographical content, Dan Brown’s biography serves as an organizing principle underlying his symbolic thinking and narrative method.
