Leonardo da Vinci : en biografi (1988)

This is a fantastic book for anyone who wants to learn about Leonardo. Specifically, if you aren't a historian but just want to learn. It is written in a manner that is interesting and understandable to those of us who don't spend our time in the dark libraries of the world researching for a living. ( )

A clear and lucid biography of one of the greatest geniuses of humankind's short history. Leonardo conveys some of the passion and intellect that shown forth in Renaissance Italy during da Vinci's lifetime. I found this an excellent readable chronicle that encouraged me to read further and explore Leonardo's own Notebooks. This biography helps bring da Vinci and his time alive for the modern reader. ( )
