Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. El aclamado autor de los best sellers Steve Jobs y Einstein nos vuelve a cautivar con la vida del genio mas creativo de la historia en esta fascinante biografia. Basandose en los miles de paginas de los cuadernos manuscritos de Leonardo y nuevos descubrimientos sobre su vida y su obra, Walter Isaacson teje una narracion que conecta el arte de Da Vinci con sus investigaciones cientificas, y nos muestra como el genio del hombre mas visionario de la historia nacio de habilidades que todos poseemos y podemos estimular, tales como la curiosidad incansable, la observacion cuidadosa y la imaginacion juguetona. Su creatividad, como la de todo gran innovador, resulto de la interseccion entre la tecnologia y las humanidades. Despellejo y estudio el rostro de numerosos cadaveres, dibujo los musculos que configuran el movimiento de los labios y pinto la sonrisa mas enigmatica de la historia, la de la Mona Lisa. Exploro las leyes de la optica, demostro como la luz incidia en la cornea y logro producir esa ilusion de profundidad en la Ultima cena. La habilidad de Leonardo da Vinci para combinar arte y ciencia -esplendorosamente representada en el Hombre de Vitruvio- continua siendo la regla de oro de la innovacion. La apasionante vida de este gran hombre debe recordarnos la importancia de inculcar el conocimiento, pero sobre todo la voluntad contagiosa de cuestionarlo: ser imaginativos y pensar de manera diferente.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONThe #1 New York Times bestseller from Walter Isaacson brings Leonardo da Vinci to life in this exciting new biography that is a study in creativity: how to define it, how to achieve itMost important, it is a powerful story of an exhilarating mind and life (The New Yorker). Based on thousands of pages from Leonardo da Vincis astonishing notebooks and new discoveries about his life and work, Walter Isaacson deftly reveals an intimate Leonardo (San Francisco Chronicle) in a narrative that connects his art to his science. He shows how Leonardos genius was based on skills we can improve in ourselves, such as passionate curiosity, careful observation, and an imagination so playful that it flirted with fantasy. He produced the two most famous paintings in history, The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa. With a passion that sometimes became obsessive, he pursued innovative studies of anatomy, fossils, birds, the heart, flying machines, botany, geology, and weaponry. He explored the math of optics, showed how light rays strike the cornea, and produced illusions of changing perspectives in The Last Supper. His ability to stand at the crossroads of the humanities and the sciences, made iconic by his drawing of Vitruvian Man, made him historys most creative genius. In the luminous (Daily Beast) Leonardo da Vinci, Isaacson describes how Leonardos delight at combining diverse passions remains the ultimate recipe for creativity. So, too, does his ease at being a bit of a misfit: illegitimate, gay, vegetarian, left-handed, easily distracted, and at times heretical. His life should remind us of the importance to be imaginative and, like talented rebels in any era, to think different. Here, da Vinci comes to life in all his remarkable brilliance and oddity in Walter Isaacsons ambitious new biographya vigorous, insightful portrait (The Washington Post).
