November Episode

Leonardo Da Vinci

Drawing on thousands of pages from Leonardo’s astonishing notebooks and new discoveries about his work, Isaacson delves into the many facets of the artist’s life and brilliantly captures its essence. A true visionary, and creative across numerous disciplines, Isaacson 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.

Join the PBS Books Readers Club on November 20 at 8:00 pm (ET) as Walter Issacson shares his vision behind this powerful biography and reveals in the novel how his extensive research into this most famous portraitist changed him. “I did learn from Leonardo how a desire to marvel about the world that we encounter each day can make each moment of our lives richer,” reflects Issacson.
