Ya en sus tiempos se convirtié en un mito. Pero también fue acusado de brujeria y muchos de sus contempordneos le consideraron una especie de Mago Merlin al servicio de nobles y gente de poder. Inventé muchisimos objetos que usamos hoy en dia, como las lentes de contacto y el carro blindado. Encargé a un hdbil artesano una pluma similar a la pluma estilografica que, a diferencia de la pluma de oca -tinico medio de escritura en su tiempo- no necesitaba usar el tintero para escribir. En este libro, Leonardo en persona nos cuenta su vida, sus aventuras, sus pesares y sus éxitos.

Viene al mundo en un pueblo de Florencia, por entonces capital de una de las numerosas ciudades-estado en las que estaba dividida Italia. Su infancia se desarrolla al final de la Baja Edad Media, periodo bastante oscuro para las artes y las ciencias. Se convierte en artista y cientifico al inicio de lo que conocemos como Renacimiento. Es mas, para muchos, Leonardo representa Mejor que ningtin otro, el prototipo de hombre renacentista capaz de renovar el arte, la ciencia y la razdn. SE ESTA SALTENDO DE LA \No EDAD MEDIA VEO LA1.

En casa, mis abuelos hablan poco de esta historia, sobre todo porque vN NIETO mi papa Piero ha contraido oe matrimonio con Albiera, hija de DEL CIELO un notario de Florencia. Caterina, en cambio, se ha casado con un tal Attaccabrighe con el que ha tenido cinco hijos: cuatro nifias y un nino. Se ha ido a vivir a un pueblo vecino, a una casita muy pequefia. Desde HOrF RDO que vivo con mis abuelos sélo la 7 gor he vuelto a ver una vez. Tenia 7 muchos chiquillos pegados a su falda. Me ha sonreido, Caterina. 12 : e\SIN EMBARGO NO ~ ME Quev oo ~ 2, ol Woes _—~ i“ ee, he \ “a TS ssh? Me gusta vivir con mis abuelos: poco colegio y mucha libertad. El abuelo Antonio me ha ensefiado a leer. Para escribir uso la mano izquierda porque soy zurdo. Voy a cazar al bosque, solo 0 con mi tio Francesco. El tio Francesco me cuenta fabulas increibles sobre los animales y sobre las plantas de nuestra tierra. Con él he aprendido a atravesar con seguridad los cursos de agua y los terrenos pantanosos. Amo el agua y la respeto. Sé lo que puede hacer un rio tranquilo, como el Arno, cuando se enfada. He visto como arrasaba con todo: casas, personas y ganado. Nada podia pararlo. Recordaré esas imagenes toda la vida.a You have either reached 2 page thts unevalale fer vowing or reached your ievina tit for his book.a You have either reached 2 page thts unevalale fer vowing or
