Leonardo da Vinci: illegitimate, gay, vegetarian, left-handed, easily distracted, and at times heretical.
From the biographer of genius, Walter Isaacson, comes an unprecedented look at the life of one of history's most profound artists. Based on thousands of pages of Leonardo's notebooks, Isaacson explores the consequences of the great innovators discoveries and the fuel behind his insatiable curiosity for understanding the most complex mysteries of his time.
