Robert Ludlum Dari Wikipedia bahasa Indonesia, ensiklopedia bebas Robert Ludlum ( 12 Maret 2001) adalah penulis Amerika Serikat yang telah menulis 25 novel. He wrote that The Matarese Circle was inspired by rumors about the Trilateral Commission, and it was published only a few years after the commission was founded. Ludlum's novels were often inspired by conspiracy theories, both historical and contemporary. The world in his writings was one where global corporations, shadowy military forces, and government organizations all conspired to preserve (if it was evil) or undermine (if it was good) the status quo. Ludlum's novels typically featured one heroic man, or a small group of crusading individuals, in a struggle against powerful adversaries whose intentions and motivations are evil, adversaries capable of using political and economic mechanisms in frightening ways. 12 strmiannika 2001 w Naples (pl) na Floridze) amerykasczi pisrz, aktr i producent sdzca 27 pmianowch pwiescw, oddwca rolw w kl 200 przedstwkach telewizjowch, zaca tatr Playhouse-on-the-Mall.
