Leonardo da Vinci by Walter Isaacson.
My rating: 4 of 5 stars.
Walter Isaacson’s made no bones about his interest in genius. I mean, he’s written biographical surveys of Albert Einstein (undoubtedly), Benjamin Franklin (yep), Steve Jobs (well…) and, er, Henry Kissinger (ahem) among others. Now, he turns his gaze towards a guy who we normally gaze towards – well, his works, anyway. Leonardo da Vinci.
Ah stuff it. Ignore the terrible segue and look at this ripped geometric dude instead.
You’d think someone so artistically significant would look a bit more enthused with his immortality.
Whew, crisis averted. (more…)
Yeah nah.
