( ) Poor stuff. The title is a misnomer for a start. L was hardly a scientist, more of an engineer, and an incomplete one at that, and if he was a scientist, then certainly not the first. The book's approach does little to make the case anyway, with far too much on his social inferiority complex, his troubled sex life, Freud's quirky book about him and other irrelevant matters. And if that's not bad enough... Listening to "Leonardo,the first scientist" by M White. The reading is for the most part clear and competent. But who allowed or encouraged the actor, (C. Kay) to deliver Leonardo's own words in a phony Italian accent? It totally undermines the depth and complexity of Leonardo's thoughts. He sounds as if he has the intellect of a Glasgow pizza delivery boy. Also very shaky is the pronunciation of Italian names, most annoying being "Lee-onardo", instead of the correct Italian "Lay-onardo". Either convey the names in an anglicised way or do them Italian style but get it right. I'm an actor and director myself and fluent in four languages. I gave up. I love this book the most about the most genius man of his time , Leonardo Da vinci . It explains in great historical detail about his life growing up and all he went through to become one of the greatest artist in history. You won't go wrong with this wonderful book , It makes you want to know more about him. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
Argues that the great "renaissance man" was in fact the first great modern man of science. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
