Narrated by Oliver Mains

Edison (2019), tells the story of Thomas Alva Edison, the most famous inventor of all time. Edison is seen by many as an almost mythical figure; an untouchable genius of invention rather than a fallible human being. In Edison, we learn about the real Thomas Edison, the flawed family man, the clever business leader, the creative whirlwind.

Leonardo da Vinci (2017) is an illuminating and thoughtful account of one of history’s most renowned individuals. Isaacson has studied previous biographies and accounts of Leonardo’s life – including the very first one, from the sixteenth century – as well as Leonardo’s wealth of notes. Isaacson paints a very human portrait of the legendary Renaissance artist and engineer. Though one of the few people in history who may truly be called a genius, Leonardo was only human and there is much that can be learned from his curiosity and approach to life.

","aboutTheAuthor":"

Walter Isaacson is the author of acclaimed biographies of Albert Einstein, Steve Jobs and Benjamin Franklin. He is the former managing editor of Time magazine and the current CEO of the Aspen Institute, a nonprofit organization striving to promote innovative ideas and leadership.
