Leonardo da Vinci created 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 engineering. With a passion leonardo da vinci walter isaacson pdf free download 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 Manmade him history's most creative genius. Now Walter Isaacson brings Leonardo da Vinci to life, showing why we have much to learn from him. His combination of science, art, technology, and imagination remains an enduring recipe for creativity. So, too, was his ease at being a bit of a misfit: illegitimate, gay, vegetarian, left-handed, easily distracted, and at times heretical.
His relentless curiosity should remind us of the importance of instilling, in both ourselves and our children, not just received knowledge but a willingness to question it - to be imaginative and, like talented misfits and rebels in any era, to think different. Alfred Molina gives a good performance, but you wouldn't know it if you were to buy this based on the audio sample. This is something I often check before buying, luckily I recognized Isaacson's funny voice and assumed it was a section of the preface.
The samples should give an overall impression of the narrator, not the author or other contributor in a preface. Loved listening to the depth of research that comes out in every part of this amazing story about Leonardo, but it's becomes a bit challenging to follow the audio and also access the images of the paintings that Isaacson references throughout leonardo da vinci walter isaacson pdf free download book. Audible's user experience is great, but it may be a work that lends itself to the physical copy of the book due to the subject matter.
Isaacson is a master, leonardo da vinci walter isaacson pdf free download, and does it again, succinctly conveying what made Leonardo such a change force in human history.
I have to defend narrator Alfred Molina, as I saw one review that said the listener didn't care for his narration - I found him thoroughly enjoyable and made this an easy listen. As most of us do, if I don't know the narrator I listen to the sample to see if I can stand the narrator, and will skip the audiobook if I don't care for the narrator.
With this book, the audio sample is Isaacson reading the introduction, at least for the first few minutes I listened. It would be better if the sample used was Molina, as we could judge for ourselves. As with art, each narrator is a personal preference.
Alfred Molina, the reader, is a reasonably well-known actor Chocolat, etc. Born in London, his mother was Italian and his father, Spanish.
He speaks both languages. Leonardo da Vinci, By: Walter Isaacson, and Narrated by: Alfred Molina. This is more akin to a Great Course, a study of Leonardo's works, rather than story about his inner self.
The book tells us what he produced, not why he was moved to make those production. The narrative told here is a listing of what made the man, the serendipity of his life, and how he undertook to play out his gifts. That is not to say this was not a very easy to listen to and informative reading; it was a worthwhile read.
The book does not unravel some mysterious being but rather provides analysis of the product of an artist and engineer and one of the most intriguing beings ever to leave traces of himself on the face of this earth. Yes, that is right. Lack of finished product. This book is about the intellect of Leonardo. It is also the story of his failure to paint more or finish what he started or when it came to his scientific studies document any finding for publication.
Rather we are now committed to his notes which he created for his own inquisitive urges, leonardo da vinci walter isaacson pdf free download. Leonardo was void of the need to provide the fruit of his genius to mankind. He focused only on his own narcissistic enjoyment. Not to progress mankind. All in all, a really good place to spend your reading time.
If you are inquisitive about genius or want to know why this man was a magnificent artist, this work by Isaacson will get you there and get you there in luxury. The reading was perfect. The title Leonardo da vinci walter isaacson pdf free download DaVinci, the man and his art is more fitting, leonardo da vinci walter isaacson pdf free download. Wonderful book, wonderful narration.
The joy Isaacson has for his subject permeates the book. Alfred Molina is a fantastic narrator. The pdf is essential. You may have thought you knew all about Leonardo, but this book will cause you to reconsider.
