“Like almost everyone, I’ve seen Leonardo’s drawing of the nude man in the circle. But until I read Toby Lester’s terrific new book, I had no idea about the story behind the picture--or even that there was a story behind the picture. Deftly weaving together art, architecture, history, theology, and much else, Da Vinci’s Ghost is a first-rate intellectual enchantment.” Charles Mann, author of 1493

“Every once in a while that rare book comes along that is not only wonderfully written and utterly compelling but also alters the way you perceive the world. Toby Lester’s Da Vinci’s Ghost is such a book. Like a detective, Lester uncovers the secrets of an iconic drawing and pieces together a magisterial history of art and ideas and beauty.” David Grann, author of THE LOST CITY OF Z
