Book description
कोई व्यक्ति एक अच्छा चित्रकार हो सकता है, वैज्ञानिक हो सकता है, इंजीनियर और गणितज्ञ हो सकता है; पर एक ही व्यक्ति उत्कृष्ट चित्रकार, अच्छा वैज्ञानिक, श्रेष्ठ इंजीनियर, कुशल गणितज्ञ, अद्भुत चिंतक, गजब का वास्तुविद्, योजनाकार, संगीतज्ञ, वाद्ययंत्र डिजाइनर आदि सबकुछ हो— विश्वास करना कठिन है, लेकिन ऐसा ही एक अद्भुत व्यक्ति था—लियोनार्डो दा विंची। लियोनार्डो युद्ध के घोर विरोधी थे, पर विडंबना यह कि उन्हें हिंसक अस्त्र-शस्त्र, युक्तियाँ, उपकरण आदि तैयार करने पड़े। परिस्थितियाँ इतनी प्रतिकूल थीं कि उनके तमाम चित्र, मूर्तियाँ, मॉडल आदि अधूरे ही रह गए। उनके डिजाइन किए हुए शहर, नहरें, बाँध आदि कागजों पर ही चिपके रह गए। बाद के वैज्ञानिकों, कलाकारों, दार्शनिकों ने उन्हें अपना आदर्श माना और उनके बनाए स्कैचों, डिजाइनों, मॉडलों आदि को मूर्त रूप दिया। उस काल में की गई उनकी कल्पनाएँ—जैसे पनडुब्बी, हेलीकॉप्टर, टैंक, सर्पिल सीड़ियाँ, साफ-सुथरे शहर, अद्भुत खिलौने—आज साकार हो चुकी हैं। आजीवन गरीबी और बदहाली झेलनेवाले लियोनार्डो की एक कूटबद्ध नोटबुक ‘कोडेक्स लिसेक्टर’ हाल ही में तीन करोड़ में बिकी। खरीदनेवाले हैं—विश्व के सबसे धनी व्यक्ति एवं माइक्रोसॉफ्ट के संस्थापक बिल गेट्स। ऐसा करके बिल गेट्स ने अपने बचपन के आदर्श के प्रति श्रद्धांजलि अर्पित की। प्रस्तुत पुस्तक ‘लियोनार्डो दा विंची’ में आप इस अद्भुत चरित्र के बारे में सुन कर जहाँ आश्चर्यचकित होंगे, वहीं ज्ञान के अथाह सागर में जी भरकर ज्ञान का आचमन करेंगे!
