### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Life Story Of  “Renaissance man.” Narrated By The Master Biographer.
*by D***H on 8 January 2018*

Leonardo Da Vinci needs no introduction. An exceptionally curious and intelligent person, an inventor, engineer and a painter par excellence - all rolled into a single persona. In this highly interesting and remarkable biographical work, master biographer Walter Isaacson has tried to explore and analyze various known and unknown aspects of the extraordinary life and personality of Leonardo Da Vinci. His research, presentation and narration are outstanding - and quite entertaining too. Isaacson demystifies a highly complex individual and his eventful life with notable simplicity, ease and intelligence.This hardcover edition of the book is printed & produced in Italy - and in itself is a work of art. Superior production and print quality makes going through the book a pleasant experience. Many paintings, sketches and photographs are incorporated on the pages of this remarkable biography by an equally remarkable author.A very highly recommended book to all the admirers and enthusiasts of Fine Arts & Science.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Master work by Walter Isaacson...Must have book in your personal collection
*by G***D on 18 April 2018*

This is fantastic book written by Isaacson on Da Vinci. Very inspiring if you are interested in life long learning, curiosity, innovation. Not only this book gives an entertaining account of Da Vinci's life bit also sheds light on his work ethics, methods used by him while learning many things. He was true polymath in renaissance era. He had genius level mastery in engineering, arts and literature. He left thousands of pages of his notebooks that he used to always used to carry with him and copiously write into. And he has written extensively on his interests and his methods as he was big fan of daily To Do lists.The book also gives account of his personal life. The real beauty of this book is all those color photographs of various renaissance era art like paintings and statues. The author also 'explains' these art works done by da Vinci and other contemporary artists. Isaacson also gives us context and background for each art work and tells us subtle nuances that differentiates that art work. Consider it as a quick and easy art appreciation course. The book is hard cover and printed on thick, good quality paper. In one of his interview the author tells us why he insisted on high quality printing. He said while writing book on Jobs they could not find many of his past emails written in 1990s. On the other hand Da Vinci has left some much of his writing behind and that is accessible even after 500 years because it is on the paper. He says he became believer in old technology like paper. I suggest the same to you. Do not buy kindle version. Buy paper copy for your collection. You will enjoy it more.Anyway all these these color pictures on nice thick paper and their explanation by the author takes this book to different league altogether. This alone will ensure a permanent place for this book in your personal library.I can strongly recommend this book to the students, artists, entrepreneurs, researchers, scientists and life long learners. They will get a lot out of this brilliant book. Parents should encourage their college going kids to read this book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Isaacson brings the Genius home
*by B***N on 18 December 2017*

Walter Isaacson's bio sketch of Leonardo Da Vinci helps us get a wider perspective of  the work  and mind  of  the man whom we have all heard about. Deeply researched, Isaacson brings alive a man whose talent we have only gazed at in wonder. Leonardo's follies, his struggles, his yearning to get into the good books of his patrons shows the human side of  him.  We are now closer to the Mona Lisa  and Salvatore Mundi Man. Precise,  full of empathy, with  a piercing look at an age which can only imagine about, is Isaacson's  achievement.  To switch  so effortlessly from writing the bio of a futuristic man (Jobs) to that of a man who lived so much in the past, is an awesome achievement.
