書籍簡介
*有創造力的天才–達文西能教我們什麼祕密？
《賈伯斯傳》《愛因斯坦傳》作者華特·艾薩克森的新傳記，以*史料帶來生動的達芬奇，透過他犀利的分析與分享，我們不再只是景仰偉人，也能從中獲益良多。
根據數千頁達文西驚人的筆記本與關於其人生與作品的新發現，艾薩克森將他的藝術與科技成就結合成發人深省的故事。達文西的才華源自於我們也可以自我增進的能力，像是熱情的好奇心、小心謹慎的觀察與遨遊馳騁於幻想中的想像力。
【窮極一生的新知探索】
達文西留下兩幅*知名的畫作：最後的晚餐與蒙娜麗莎的微笑。但他只自覺為一名研究科學與科技的人。極富熱情（有時變成迷戀），他追求解剖學、化石、鳥類、心臟、飛行機器、植物學、地質學與兵器等創新的研究。他的能力座落在人性與科學的十字路口，維特魯威人使他成為歷*創意的天才。
【藝術與科技相輔相成的天才】
他的創造力，像其他偉大的發明家一樣，由廣泛多面向的熱情而來。他剝下屍體的臉皮，描繪嘴脣運動所牽引的肌肉，繪製成了*知名的笑容。他探究光學的奧祕，展現光線如何撞擊眼角膜，併產生視角變化的幻覺應用在最後的晚餐中。
達文西以得自多重熱情的欣喜來維持源源不絕的創造力輸出。所以，他也很容易被歸為異類：私生子、同性戀、素食者、左撇子、容易分心且有時是異端的。他的人生提醒我們逐步培育的重要，無論是我們還是我們的孩子，不要僅止接收知識，更要願意提出疑問。像任何領域中富有才華的異類與叛逆者一樣，我們必須成為有想像力的人，think different.
「宏偉壯闊… 艾薩克森著手研究另一個複雜的巨人並把他改觀成我們可以理解的角色…十分引人入勝、出色且熱情的。」–《科克斯評論》
The #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 it…Most important, it is a powerful story of an exhilarating mind and life” (The New Yorker).
Based on thousands of pages from Leonardo da Vinci’s 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 Leonardo’s 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 history’s most creative genius.
In the “luminous” (Daily Beast) Leonardo da Vinci, Isaacson describes how Leonardo’s 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 Isaacson’s ambitious new biography…a vigorous, insightful portrait” (The Washington Post).

"As always, [Isaacson] writes with a strongly synthesizing intelligence across a tremendous range; the result is a valuable introduction to a complex subject. . . . Beneath its diligent research, the book is a study in creativity: how to define it, how to achieve it. . . . Most important, Isaacson tells a powerful story of an exhilarating mind and life."—The New Yorker
“To read this magnificent biography of Leonardo da Vinci is to take a tour through the life and works of one of the most extraordinary human beings of all time and in the company of the most engaging, informed, and insightful guide imaginable. Walter Isaacson is at once a true scholar and a spellbinding writer. And what a wealth of lessons there are to be learned in these pages."—David McCullough, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Wright Brothers and 1776
“I’ve read a lot about Leonardo over the years, but I had never found one book that satisfactorily covered all the different facets of his life and work. Walter—a talented journalist and author I’ve gotten to know over the years—did a great job pulling it all together. . . . More than any other Leonardo book I’ve read, this one helps you see him as a complete human being and understand just how special he was.”—Bill Gates
“Isaacson’s essential subject is the singular life of brilliance. . . . Isaacson deftly reveals an intimate Leonardo . . . a masterpiece of concision.”—San Francisco Chronicle
“A captivating narrative about art and science, curiosity and discipline.”—Adam Grant, #1 New York Times Bestselling author of Originals
“He comes to life in all his remarkable brilliance and oddity in Walter Isaacson’s ambitious new biography . . . a vigorous, insightful portrait of the world’s most famous portraitist...Isaacson’s purpose is a thorough synthesis, which he achieves with flair.”—The Washington Post
“Walter Isaacson is a renaissance man. . . . Rather like Leonardo, he’s driven by a joyful desire to discover. That joy bubbles forth in this magnificent book. In Isaacson, Leonardo gets the biographer he deserves—an author capable of comprehending his often frenetic, frequently weird quest to understand. This is not just a joyful book; it’s also a joy to behold. . . . Isaacson deserves immense praise for producing a very human portrait of a genius.”—The Times of London
“The pleasure of an Isaacson biography is that it doesn’t traffic in such cynical stuff; the author tells stories of people who, by definition, are inimitable....Isaacson is at his finest when he analyzes what made Leonardo human.” —The New York Times
“Monumental . . . Leonardo led an astonishingly interesting eventful life. And Isaacson brilliantly captures its essence.”—The Toronto Star
"Majestic . . . Isaacson takes on another complex, giant figure and transforms him into someone we can recognize. . . . Totally enthralling, masterful, and passionate.”—Kirkus Reviews, starred review
