Да, наваксвам с биографиите, особено написани от Уолтър Айзаксън – много ми харесват. Особена радост ми достави да чуя, след тази на Айнщайн, биографията на друг гений – Леондардо да Винчи.
Щура глава е бил Леонардо. Толкова талантлив, толкова многопосочен в любопитството си и неуморен, забавен, ексцентричен, многопластов, а с всичко това – и вечен.
Едно пътуване във времето и през живота на този неземен човек.
Ето и малко цитати за доказателство:
Vision without execution is hallucination. .. Skill without imagination is barren. Leonardo [da Vinci] knew how to marry observation and imagination, which made him history’s consummate innovator.
Above all, Leonardo’s relentless curiosity and experimentation should remind us of the importance of instilling, in both ourselves and our children, not just received knowledge but a willingness to question it—to be imaginative and, like talented misfits and rebels in any era, to think different.
Мen who desire nothing but material riches and are absolutely devoid of the desire for wisdom, which is the sustenance and truly dependable wealth of the mind.
Leonardo had almost no schooling and could barely read Latin or do long division. His genius was of the type we can understand, even take lessons from. It was based on skills we can aspire to improve in ourselves, such as curiosity and intense observation. He had an imagination so excitable that it flirted with the edges of fantasy, which is also something we can try to preserve in ourselves and indulge in our children.
Да, може би вече става ясно – силно препоръчвам тази книга. Идеална за четене и вдъхновение по всяко време. Чуден подарък за приятели, подрастващи, колеги и семейството.
Има я преведена и издадена и на български език.
