SYLVAIN TRISTAN​
THE DIVINE NUMBER
"My religion consists of a humble admiration
of the illimitable superior spirit
who reveals himself in the slight details
we are able to perceive
with our frail and feeble minds."

Book cover by Ekidna Studio, Chambéry, France
​In a book that will take you from the mystical, age-old stone circle of Avebury, Wiltshire, to Glatonbury Tor in Somerset and the green hills of Alesia in Burgundy, France, follow Sylvain Tristan's young characters in The Divine Number, a mind-boggling suspense story that will also make you travel through time.
The story is set in the present, but the puzzle in the novel will make you meet in turns the Megalithic people of Stonehenge, the Druids at Caesar's time, and the Knights Templar when French cathedrals started to rise toward heaven in the 'Renaissance of the twelfth century.'


Is Avebury in England the famed Avalon of Arthurian legends?​
​
The story uniquely blends a mathematical mystery, one of the most famous songs of all time (Led Zeppelin's Stairway to Heaven), ​crop circles, Druidic knowledge, secret societies and much more.
Mixing fact and fiction, the book is also full of historical references and legends brought back to life, vivid landscapes and language and - last but not least - intense characters such as Arthur the blond-haired guitar player, Thi Mi Linh the young history student and her little hamster Buzz, or Lartigald, an eccentric wine-loving zillionnaire (yes, zillionnaire!) who flies in a red zeppelin.

​For the first time in history, behind the polished surface of an intriguing novel, you will be revealed mathematical secrets that seem to be part of the fabric of our universe.
 Plunge into the deeply fascinating world of 366-degree geometry and its fantastic implications in the real world. Discover the meridians and parallels on which the capitals of the most beautiful ancient civilizations have been built — Stonehenge, Alesia, Mycenae, Babylon, Thebes, or the pyramids of Teotihuacan and Caral. Be privy to a secret knowledge that might have been passed on from generations of initiates throughout history.

​Finally, learn that 366 - the Divine Number - is not only a geometrical tool but also part of the human body, of the water that covers most of our planet, and is intrinsic to the physics of the Earth, the Moon and the Sun, with all its metaphysical and philosophical consequences. Be ready to radically upturn you view of history and the universe.
Get on board this rollercoaster story now, it is much fun - but the ride will also take your breath away and won't leave you unharmed.

​"The author manages to pack his book with so many interesting facts and mysteries which he has obviously researched in depth, and he delivers them to us in very lively dialogues and a gripping quest for truth. A real learning experience that takes you from the megalithic past to the latest scientific wonders, through the middle ages of the Knights Templar."
