Great Lives: Da Vinci, Shakespeare, Newton, Beethoven, and Einstein
February 25 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm
The Coldwell Banker Elite Lecture
Bulent’s new book, Beyond Genius, is more ambitious than his earlier books on Leonardo da Vinci. Positing that genius comes in degrees, from “ordinary” to “magician” to “transformative,” he examines the internal and external conditions that produced hundreds of extraordinarily brilliant men and women. Ultimately, he makes the main focus of the book a handful of transformative geniuses—Leonardo, Shakespeare, Newton, Beethoven, and Einstein—two pure artists, two pure scientists, and one quintessential polymath who straddles the cultures of both the arts and the sciences. Walter Isaacson, who wrote a blurb for Beyond Genius, declared it, “A Triumph!”
