Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Un monje dominicano, Agustín Leyre, escribe sus memorias, de acontecimientos que ocurrieron hace muchos años cuando fue enviado a investigar el fresco de la última cena que estaba pintando Leonardo da Vinci en el convento de Santa Maria delle Grazie en Milan.
A finales del año 1496 los monjes habían empezado a recibir cartas anónimas, firmadas “el Agorero”. Hablaban de la magia diabólica de la escena, de las símbolos esotéricos y heréticas que contiene, de una conspiración que pervertirá a muchos y dañará a la santa iglesia si nadie lo frenara.
No era la primera vez que las obras de Leonardo llamaban la atención de la inquisición pero esta vez la iglesia se encontraba en una situación muy delicada. La pintura era un encargo del poderoso duque de Milán y lo está pintando en la pared del refectorio del convento del cual es el benefactor.
Agustín consiguió la llave del refectorio y cuando Leonardo no está, se dedicó contemplar su obra cuya belleza le deslumbró totalmente pero a la vez le preocuparon y luego horrorizaron muchos detalles que al principio no entendió.
Pero las pistas fueron pocas y la investigación se complicó con unos cuantos asesinatos. El simpático bibliotecario se suicidó, otro fraile empezó a predicar doctrinas cátaras para luego prenderse fuego. Un peregrino se encontró asesinado en la iglesia.... --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars A cousin of The Da Vinci Code, March 23, 2005
By Emc2 (Tropical Utopia) - See all my reviews
  
If you liked the Da Vinci Code, go for this novel. One important warning, so far only a Spanish version is available, but it seems the English version is coming soon.

Mr Sierra did three years of research with trips to Rome, Milan, and Florence before writing this novel; which is based on several "anomalies" you can find on Da Vinci's famous Last Supper, and surprisingly the Holy Inquisition didn't object or did they?. Buy a good reproduction of the painting to follow the clues through the reading. Can you guess which of the apostles is Leonardo Da Vinci himself?

To my taste "La cena secreta" is based more on solid evidence and less speculation than the "The Vinci Code", but that does not make it less interesting. The story is presented through the eyes of a high ranking monk of the Holy Inquisition, which makes the evolution of the plot very unique.

Highly recommended, and guys, practice some of your Spanish and don't wait until the English version is available.

4.0 out of 5 stars En la línea del "Código da Vinci" pero afortunadamente mejor escrito...., February 17, 2006
Al padre Leyre, integrante del grupo Betania (grupo secreto de la curia católica encargado de vigilar y desentrañar posibles movimientos heréticos) se le encarga la misión de vigilar a Leonardo da Vinci e investigar si efectivamente en la obra que está creando "La Cena Sagrada" se encuentra codificado un mensaje herético que puede poner en peligro la autoridad religiosa del Papa.

El libro mezcla con maestría, de manera concisa (muy a diferencia del Código da Vinci) y muy bien fundamentada elementos típicos de este tipo de libros: asesinatos (de personas relacionadas con la creación de la obra "La cena sagrada"), un personaje que anticipa todos estos problemas (el agorero), mensajes cifrados, sectas religiosas desaparecidas (cátaros) y sobre todo el mensaje oculto en la pintura de Leonardo.

La lectura de este libro es muy entretenida, su brevedad comparada con la del "Codigo da Vinci" su virtud.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great read in Spanish or English, July 16, 2007
This is an relatively easy novel for those trying to improve their Spanish skills, as the mystery is the key element. Fast-paced and interesting. I loved it.
