Somil Kumar Singh
5.0 out of 5 starsLife Story Of “Renaissance man.” Narrated By The Master Biographer.
Reviewed in India 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.

1.0 out of 5 starsDamaged twice.
Reviewed in India on 30 December 2018
The book is great. Considering the packaging and handling for the order it is very poor. Both the books I received were damaged, usually there are no errors with the delivery, however this one was an exception.

Who was he really? Naturalist, mathematician, geometrician, physicist, geologist, botanist, metallurgist, autopsist and a passionate learner of optics and motion. Great coverage by @WalterIsaacson. Eager to revisit The Louvre again !!

This is my second book after Steve Jobs Autobiography. Loved it !!

Its a roller coaster ride. Sometimes hard to get but the width of leonardo talent will blow your mind. From his master painting to his anatomical studies and all this 500 yrs ago. His curiosity made him do things which werent seem possible during his time. It is not a book but a journey . Enjoy it.

I was always fascinated about the life and works of Leonardo Da Vinci. The author did a great job putting together every event in his timeline under one book. The material quality of the book (Hardcover) is praiseworthy. Highly recommend this biography.

3.0 out of 5 stars Book seems Nice but Arrived at a Poor Condition
Reviewed in India on 17 June 2019
Verified Purchase
I haven't given a read to the book yet but it looked quite nice when I flipped through the pages. Nicely illustrated and detailed it seems. However I'm upset with the condition of the book it arrived in- the back cover was torn and the corners were broken.
