The author of the best-selling book Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown, is again being accused of plagiarism, this time by a Russian historian. Brown, who was cleared of similar accusations in London just days ago, is now being sued by Mikhail Anikin for plagiarism. The art historian from St. Petersburg is hoping to be compensated for what he believes are his original ideas. According to the historian, the author stole his idea that Leonardo Da Vinci's famed Mona Lisa painting was in fact an allegory for the Christian church, after Anikin published his theory in a book in 2000. Released in 2003, Da Vinci Code has sold more than 40 million copies worldwide and a film of the story is ready for release next month. |
