I found the book frustrating: while the historical accounts are accurate, the paintinf reproductions lovely, and mastery of analisys of the visual style the author is not a good writer. The text is focused on the visual documentation leonardo left and with little insight into his logical thinking. More a history of art book overall / with a puzzling self help conclusion and a long deviation following some attribution questions around some drawing. Wonderful book! We should all be so curious and observant. This was my first audio book. I thought it was well done. I wasn’t expecting to enjoy it (being read to as opposed to reading it myself) so much. I think it could be easy to get hooked on this. As a bonus, I also own the hardcover so I was able to look at the pictures while reading. Уолтер Айзексон специализируется на биографиях гениев. Сравнительно недавно большой успех имела его книга о Стиве Джобсе, а ранее — об Эйнштейне и Бенджамине Франклине. К концу карьеры Айзексон решил обратиться к имени, синонимичному понятию «гений», и, как выясняется, даже годы изучения неординарных личностей не смогли достаточно подготовить его к масштабам Леонардо. А как иначе отнестись к человеку, кто в списке своих талантов рисование ставит на последнее место, а в перечне дел на день ставит «разобраться с устройством языка дятла»? Дятел, кстати, действительно на редкость странен в этом отношении. Продолжая шокировать читателя неординарностью да Винчи, Айзексон тем не менее предлагает лайфхаки, основанные на жизни и мировоззрении флорентийца, пригодные и для не столь гениального человека. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

"He was history's most creative genius. What secrets can he teach us? The author of the acclaimed bestsellers Steve Jobs, Einstein, and Benjamin Franklin brings Leonardo da Vinci to life in this exciting new biography. Based on thousands of pages from Leonardo's astonishing notebooks and new discoveries about his life and work, Walter Isaacson weaves 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. But in his own mind, he was just as much a man of science and technology. With a passion that sometimes became obsessive, he pursued innovative studies of anatomy, fossils, birds, the heart, flying machines, botany, geology, and weaponry. 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"-- Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

Great narrating, by the way, by Alfred Molina. ( )
