Although Enrique de Vicente must have many writings talking about various topics, In the literary field, only three books of his authorship have come to light. Is about:
- Hidden keys to the Da Vinci Code.
- The hidden powers of the mind.
- Hidden keys of The Lost Symbol.
Apart from these three books, there is a fourth, which is not talked about much but which he wrote together with Javier Sierra. Is about What is hidden behind the X-Files? This is a very difficult book to get (and at high prices) so not many have it.
Let's talk about the three that are completely his own.
Hidden keys to the Da Vinci Code
Synopsis:
After the great impact it has generated, Dan Brown's novel opens up an immense range of interpretations, of paths that run through esotericism, myths, struggles for religious power, and that start from the enigmatic smile of Mona Lisa to converge in a secret kept in the shadows for centuries, which could perhaps change the destiny of humanity. The renowned journalist Enrique de Vicente has accepted the challenge of unraveling many of the mysteries that point to the work, shedding new light on aspects such as the Arthurian cycle, the Holy Grail, Freemasonry, the figure of Mary Magdalene or the symbolism of the cross, among others. One hundred very interesting chapters that aspire to elucidate how much is true and how much is fiction in the complex labyrinth that appears behind the Da Vinci Code.
When Dan Brown's work, The Da Vinci Code triumphed, there were many who, after reading that book, wanted to delve deeper into the truth or not of what was told. That is why this book delves into those mysteries.
Enrique de Vicente, through more or less short chapters, gives us a more realistic version of the different themes that the novel deals with, sometimes succinctly, but with a greater documentation and history that makes you wonder if you really know all the history of the world or there are things that have been kept hidden.
The hidden powers of the mind
Synopsis:
Telepathy, prediction of the future, clairvoyance, levitation, ghosts, healers... The human mind has a vast uncharted territory. The author takes a tour of paranormal phenomena, analyzes them and offers enriching examples.
Although the title may be misleading, because many readers think that it can indicate how to develop the mind, and not the different "powers" that a person can experience, it is one more book of examples and analysis of each of the strange phenomena such as telepathy, clairvoyance... However, it does not serve to develop these skills.
The chapters develop well but can be complex and unattractive to read unless you are quite interested in the documentary theme.
Hidden keys of The Lost Symbol
Synopsis:
Do you want to know why Freemasonry was born? Behind what important historical events can we discover it? What secrets do the Capitol, the Obelisk and some of the most emblematic buildings in Washington hide? In short, do you want to discover the conspiracies that move the world?
Hidden Keys to The Lost Symbol is an exciting journey through secret history and frontier science: the ancient gods and humans who aspire to immortality, the wisdom of the ancient mysteries and their initiation rites, astrology and alchemy, the cabal and magic, ciphers and secret societies, sacred architecture and the planning of Washington as a city full of unsuspected secrets, the race for mind control and the power of collective thought...
In the book you can find a support on The Lost Symbol, further development in terms of the story being told. But, above all, about the secret societies (its management, organization, etc.).
Although some more detailed developments of the story that settles the plot can be found, there is also new data that allows know the untold story, the darkest, of the world.
