À propos de cet audio

 Now a docuseries from Ken Burns on PBS!

The #1 New York Times bestseller from Walter Isaacson brings Leonardo da Vinci to life in this exciting new biography that is “a study in creativity: how to define it, how to achieve it…Most important, it is a powerful story of an exhilarating mind and life” (The New Yorker).

Based on thousands of pages from Leonardo da Vinci’s astonishing notebooks and new discoveries about his life and work, Walter Isaacson “deftly reveals an intimate Leonardo” (San Francisco Chronicle) in a narrative that connects his art to his science. He shows how Leonardo’s genius was based on skills we can improve in ourselves, such as passionate curiosity, careful observation, and an imagination so playful that it flirted with fantasy.

He produced the two most famous paintings in history, The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa. With a passion that sometimes became obsessive, he pursued innovative studies of anatomy, fossils, birds, the heart, flying machines, botany, geology, and weaponry. He explored the math of optics, showed how light rays strike the cornea, and produced illusions of changing perspectives in The Last Supper. His ability to stand at the crossroads of the humanities and the sciences, made iconic by his drawing of Vitruvian Man, made him history’s most creative genius.

In the “luminous” (Daily Beast) Leonardo da Vinci, Isaacson describes how Leonardo’s delight at combining diverse passions remains the ultimate recipe for creativity. So, too, does his ease at being a bit of a misfit: illegitimate, gay, vegetarian, left-handed, easily distracted, and at times heretical. His life should remind us of the importance to be imaginative and, like talented rebels in any era, to think different. Here, da Vinci “comes to life in all his remarkable brilliance and oddity in Walter Isaacson’s ambitious new biography…a vigorous, insightful portrait” (The Washington Post).

Loved all the back stories and descriptions of artistic & creative techniques used! I feel like this kind of book will give anyone a greater appreciation when viewing his work. I feel like I have a deeper appreciation for the science of art!

A must-read for anyone before seeing Mona Lisa!

The pdf can only be found on the desktop website. Otherwise it is great and inspirational.

I love the topic and determined to envelope myself into the novel I decided to purchase both the audible and the paper copies. But the reader only reads what he feels to be important, leaving out many sentences and paragraphs. It is talkie the reader is deciding how the book should have been written instead of just reading what the author in his wisdom
and with his talent wrote. How do you judge a book when it is only and excerpt of the true written word?

Reader does not read the whole book

Interesting content but constant reference to pdf makes this unsuitable for audio only. It seemed disjointed and really key insights came from conclusion Might be a worthy read but not at all a good audio book
