Jesús no murió en la cruz. Se casó con Magdalena y su descendencia perdua hasta nuestros días.Estas sorprendentes revelaciones y muchas otras relacionadas con temas como el Evangelio, los templarios y el Grial son algunas de las revolucionarias conclusiones de esta polémica obra. En sus páginas, los investigadores Lincoln, Baigent y Leigh plasman los resultados de años de ardua labor de investigación. Pergaminos cifrados, sociedades secretas, caballeros templarios e historias sobre herejes cátaros y un antiguo linaje real francés, dibujan una nueva versión del origen del cristianismo y la identidad tanto del propio Jesucristo como de sus descendientes.El enigma sagrado es un destacado bestseller internacional y, como bien dice el investigador Juan G. Atienza en el prólogo a esta edición, abre la puerta para que pisemos sin miedo las losas de un secreto de siglos, el Secreto por excelencia de esa que llamamos la civilización occidental

A major new reissue of the work of a classic noir novelist.

Boris Vian was a novelist, jazz musician, jazz critic, poet, playwright, a friend of Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Raymond Queneau, Jean Cocteau, Louis Malle, Jean Paul Sartre, and numerous others of forties and fifties Parisian cultural society. He was also a French translator of American hard-boiled crime novels. One of his discoveries was an African-American writer by the name of Vernon Sullivan. Vian translated Sullivan's I Spit on Your Graves. The book is about a 'white Negro' who acts out an act of revenge against a small Southern town, in repayment for the death of his brother, who was lynched by an all white mob. Upon its release, I Spit on Your Graves became a bestseller in France, as well as a instruction manual for a copycat killer whose copy of I Spit on Your Graves was found by the murdered body of a prostitute with certain violent passages underlined. A censorship trail also came up where Sullivan as the author was held responsible for the material. It was later disclosed that Vian himself wrote the book and made up the identity of Vernon Sullivan! This edition is a translation by Vian, that was never published in America. I Spit on Your Graves is an extremely violent sexy hard-boiled novel about racial and class prejudice, revenge, justice, and is itself a literary oddity due to the fact that it was written by a jazz-loving white Frenchman, who had never been to America.
