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 history's most profound innovators. Isaacson, who has been, at different times, the CEO of the Aspen Institute, chairman of CNN, editor of Time magazine, and author of the international bestselling biographies of Einstein, Benjamin Franklin, and Steve Jobs reveals the largely untold life of Leonardo da Vinci, father of the Renaissance, and one of the Western world's first true geniuses.

Explore the consequences of da Vinci's discoveries. Understand the fuel behind the thinker's insatiable curiosity for understanding the most complex mysteries of his time. And pull back the shade on the moment in history that bred the first great disruptor.

Based on thousands of pages from da Vinci's notebooks, Isaacson's newest endeavor is a major new book from an author who has spent a career chasing history's most impressive characters.  Don't miss one of the great thinkers of our time as he unpacks the life and mind of one of the great thinkers of all-time.
