“When talking about personal success, I like to ask four questions. Why? Why not? Why not you? Why not now?” Why not acquire the means to travel first class through life, to see the Mona Lisa first hand, to swim the crystal waters of the Bahamas, to sample the food in Paris or Africa?

While Case doesn't spend much time delving into the lives and motivations of his characters, the Spanish flu is the real star.

Michael White, an experienced biographer, has written this brilliant portrayal of his childhood hero – Leonardo da Vinci – arguing that the scope of his investigations, experimental method, and desire to push the boundaries of knowledge made him nothing less than “The First Scientist.”
With this he weaves the history of early scientific endeavour, and Leonardo’s colourful personal life, including his deprived childhood, homosexuality, and relationships with contemporaries such as Machiavelli and Borgia. A thought provoking book displaying the ultimate amalgamation between art and science.
