Angels and Demons by Dan Brown — a new novel in the modern world.

      Аннотация: The 20th century saw rise of many endeavors in both science and art. World literature as an integral part of art was enriched in both form and content by the authors of the previous century. The main push which led to the appearance of new genres was the process of globalization. Thus, the topicality of this research lays in the increasing interest of the people of Uzbekistan in the works of popular foreign writers’ works. Moreover, due to the fact that the novel Angels and Demons is the first and yet the less popular one out of the five “Robert Langdon adventures” sequels, the scholars have not thoroughly investigated it. Therefore, the problem development status lays upon the works of few scholars who dedicated their works to the novel Angels and Demons. These researchers investigated the novel according to its genre, linguistic aspects, and the roles of protagonist and antagonist in the plot development.
