This landmark biography penetrates the barriers of legend to bring to full and intimate life a man whose burning passions - for painting, women, and ideas - were matched by a compulsion to invent reality in his life no less than in his art. Here is the tragic story of a man who, from his teenage passion for a gypsy boy to the chilling bitterness and betrayals of his old age, was unable to love and was driven to dominate and humiliate the women - and men - who fell under his hypnotic spell.

This audiobook is a memoir told in three parts: about growing up in the wake of the destructive choices of an unconventional mother. Glen David Gold was raised rich, briefly, in southern California at the end of the go-go 1960s. But his father's fortune disappears, his parents divorce, and Glen falls out of his well-curated life and into San Francisco at the epicenter of the Me Decade: the inimitable '70s. Gold grows up with his mother, among con men and get-rich schemes. Then, one afternoon when he's 12, she moves to New York without telling him, leaving him to fend for himself.

Creativity is in our bones. It is found in our very DNA, something not known to Leonardo da Vinci or anyone else who lived in his day and time. All he did was to uncover the hidden genius which lay within himself, and he used that inner genius to the very best of his abilities.

Born to a peasant woman in 1452, Leonardo would go on to astound the world he lived in with his artistry and his inventions.

Basándose en las miles de páginas de los cuadernos manuscritos de Leonardo y nuevos descubrimientos sobre su vida y su obra, Walter Isaacson teje una narración que conecta el arte de Da Vinci con sus investigaciones científicas, y nos muestra cómo el genio del hombre más visionario de la historia nació de habilidades que todos poseemos y podemos estimular, tales como la curiosidad incansable, la observación cuidadosa y la imaginación juguetona. Su creatividad, como la de todo gran innovador, resultó de la intersección entre la tecnología y las humanidades.

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 that 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 Man, made him history's most creative genius.

Romain Rolland (1866-1944), premio Nobel per la letteratura nel 1915, ha dedicato l'opera e la vita alla diffusione di un credo umanitario di pace e di fraternità. Compose numerose biografie esemplari, tra cui questa di Michelangelo, nel 1905. La vita dell'eroe della Sistina (come lo chiama l'autore) viene percorsa più volte analizzando vari aspetti della sua vita: la lotta, la sua ossessione artistica, gli amori idealizzati, e infine, l’amore per Dio e il desiderio della liberazione dalla vita.

Un unico punto fermo: la sua passione e il suo talento straordinario per la pittura e per la ritrattistica in particolare.

"Così era finita Gerda Taro, per non aver voluto abbandonare il fronte quando non c'era più nessuna speranza, ed era rimasta ferita a morte come tanti altri, in una strada polverosa; lasciò nelle sue foto testimonianza dell'enorme delitto che era stata la guerra. Aveva dedicato la sua splendida vita a un degno compito, a una giusta causa persa".
