Comparado con Maggie O'Farrell, Carlo Vecce es un «gran narrador y erudito» (Corriere Fiorentino) que ha reescrito la vida de Da Vinci tras descubrir quién fue su madre.
Un «Leonardo secreto, [...] frágil» (Il Mattino), «un genio rebelde» (Libero)
«Una investigación con ritmo de relato apasionante de la vida del artista. [...] Un viaje al corazón del genio polifacético que soñó y vio el futuro». -Libero
En la inmensa bibliografía mundial sobre Leonardo, faltaba una biografía definitiva sobre el genio de Da Vinci. Carlo Vecce colma esta laguna ofreciendo al lector el retrato más completo a través de descubrimientos inéditos, de nuevas perspectivas sobre su obra y de la voz de aquellos que le conocieron. Sus contemporáneos tienen aquí vida y sangre, y sus recuerdos trazan a través de los siglos el retrato más polifacético y más íntimo jamás escrito sobre la vida de Leonardo, marcada por la borrascosa relación con su padre, por sus amores secretos y sus dificultades para acceder a un mundo del arte al que le costó adaptarse. A todo ello, Vecce añade la voz del propio Leonardo, hecha de palabras e imágenes que fluyen en la escritura diaria de páginas en cuadernos, libretas y hojas sueltas en las que se relata a sí mismo, dando vida al mayor de sus inventos: una forma de comunicación global, entre la oralidad y la escritura, la palabra y la imagen, extraordinaria por su modernidad y a través de la que pretendía captar y representar la variedad y la transitoriedad de una naturaleza en perpetuo devenir. Una obra inmensa, proyección de una mente prodigiosa que, libre de todo esquema y prejuicio, deja abiertas todas las posibilidades y que hace de su biografía un auténtico canto a la libertad.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
THE DEFINITIVE BIOGRAPHY OF LEONARDO DA VINCI, BY THE AUTHOR OF CATERINA, NUMBER 1 IN ITALY, AND HIS GREATEST EXPERT WORLDWIDE.
Likened to Maggie O'Farrell, Carlo Vecce is a "great narrator and erudite" (Corriere Fiorentino) who has rewritten Da Vinci's life after discovering who his mother was.
The immense world bibliography on Leonardo was missing a definitive biography. Carlo Vecce fills this gap by offering readers the most complete portrait of Da Vinci's genius through unpublished discoveries, new perspectives of his work, and the voice of those who knew him. His contemporaries give life and limb here, and their memories trace through centuries the most multifaceted and intimate portrait ever written about the life of Leonardo, marked by a tempestuous relationship with his father, his secret affairs, and his hardships to access an art world he struggled to adapt to. To all this, Vecce adds Leonardo's own voice, made of words and images that flow in his daily writing of notebooks, booklets, and papers, where he describes himself, bringing to life his greatest invention: a form of global communication between the spoken word and the written word, speech and imagery, extraordinarily modern, and through which he meant to capture and represent the variety and fleetingness of a nature in perpetual progression. A vast work, projection of a wonderous mind that, free of all patterns and prejudice, leaves all possibilities open and turns his biography into an authentic celebration of freedom.
«Un relato biográfico documentado y riguroso hasta el más mínimo detalle. [...] plagado de acontecimientos íntimos [...]. Un libro escrito con el corazón.» -Il Corriere della Sera
