Leonardo da Vinci by Walter Isaacson
Book & Audiobook Review:
This biography is a bit longer than it probably needed to be, as the author's conclusion tends to re-emphasize points already made in the narrative. However, it's still a very intriguing listen. Narrated with a thoughtful tone, the audiobook effectively brings Leonardo da Vinci’s life to vivid detail.
The author draws heavily from Leonardo’s extensive notes, which provide a treasure trove of insights into his goals, interests, and inventions. These notes are a key asset for the biographer, offering clarity on Leonardo's diverse pursuits, from art to science. The portrayal of Leonardo as a polymath, despite his self-described 'unlettered' status, showcases his impressive intelligence and creativity.
The audiobook narration highlights Leonardo’s profound engagement with empirical experimentation and observation, making his multifaceted genius accessible and engaging. If you enjoy deep dives into historical figures with a rich audio experience, this biography will be well worth your time.
