About the Original Book:

If genius, intrigue and inspiration can change the world, then the amazing life story of Leonardo da Vinci is truly magnificent. Talented and quirky, his contribution to the realms of art, engineering and anatomy are awe-inspiring--not to mention the impact of his most beautiful and famous creations on canvas.


Da Vinci was forever curious and relentless in his pursuit to know everything, about everything. His infatuation with nature was unquenchable, pushing him through the lifelong mastery of geometry, hydraulics, optics, anatomy, light, flight, architecture, art, draftsmanship and engineering. As if this wasn’t enough, he was genial and well-loved, a charismatic

character who, despite his celebrity, was grounded in the value of friendship and beauty.
