  Edited quotes, "This brilliant and irreverent memoir explodes with inspired scenes of Leonardo da Vinci, as imagined by the incomparable Ralph Steadman.

  'I Leonardo' is a joy to behold and to read - a contemporary masterpiece.  Ralph Steadman - inspired illustrator of the visions of Hunter Thompson - has 

  an obsession called Leonardo da Vinci.  Ralph traveled to Italy to stand in places where Leonardo stood, trying to imagine what it was like to occupy that mind

  which would never stop yearning to fly.  And invented everything from the vocabulary of academic drawing to the submarine.  Steadman started to paint Leonardo's

  inventions, then the scenes of their invention.  In his distinct, ingenious and anarchic style, Ralph presents key events from the life of Leonardo; among them, The 

  painting of the Last Supper, the Mona Lisa and his experiments in flight.  Soon the inventor himself showed his face and began to demonstrate.  Zoroastro popped

  in to try on some wings; Michelangelo strutted across the ceiling; Savonarola tried to burn the place down.  Machiavelli shrugged as if to say 'What did you expect?'

  and Mona Lisa smiled.  The result is a work of sustained brilliance and a triumph of imaginations.  Color illustrations, many are full page.  Winner of the W.H. Smith 

  illustration award.  Amazing thoughts and energy and imagination and effort from the genius that is Ralph Steadman."
