Sinopsis

In "The Romance of Leonardo da Vinci, the Forerunner," Dmitry Sergeyevich Merezhkovsky intricately weaves a narrative that explores the life and times of the quintessential Renaissance polymath, Leonardo da Vinci. Through a blend of historical fiction and philosophical inquiry, Merezhkovsky employs a lyrical prose style that immerses the reader in the vibrant tapestry of Renaissance Italy. The book delves into da Vinci's dual pursuits of art and science, revealing the tensions between his visionary creativity and the conservative forces of his era, effectively situating him within the broader intellectual currents of Humanism that characterized the period. Merezhkovsky, a prominent Russian Symbolist writer, was deeply influenced by his own engagement with themes of spiritual rebirth and the clash between ancient wisdom and modern thought. His literary background, steeped in the exploration of artistic genius and existential inquiries, informs his portrayal of da Vinci as a symbol of the restless human spirit pursuing enlightenment amidst a world of ignorance and dogma. This novel is not merely a biography; it is a philosophical meditation on the nature of creativity itself, reflecting the author's broader quest for meaning in the tumultous age of his own society. Readers seeking to gain insight into the complex interplay of art, science, and spirituality will find "The Romance of Leonardo da Vinci, the Forerunner" an invaluable addition to their literary repertoire. Through its rich characterizations and evocative settings, the book invites readers to experience the Renaissance anew, urging them to ponder the enduring questions of human potential and the transformative power of creativity. This work is highly recommended for anyone fascinated by art history, philosophical discourse, or the intricate tapestry of human endeavor.

    Pioneering whitewater explorer Wick Walker examines what lured a generation of incredibly daring pioneers into some of Earth's most wondrous yet forbidding river canyons: below Victoria Falls on the Zambezi; the Great Bend of the Tsangpo in Tibet; Tiger Leaping Gorge on the Yangtze; the flanks of Mount Everest; and more. 
     
     
     
    Loaded with great moments and personal stories, Wick details what these adventurers found there, and within themselves. The extraordinary characters, driven by different motives and visions, but united by their compulsion to seek the unknown and the pulse of free-flowing water, are as remarkable as the daunting geography and conditions they confront. 
     
     
     
    Whitewater sport today stands side-by-side with mountaineering in participation and public attention, yet it has lagged in generating its own literature. Torrents As Yet Unknown will help fill that gap for listeners interested in human drama played out against great natural challenges. 
     
     
     
    Mountaineering history is deep and its literature rich, but whitewater adventurers approach and experience the same forbidding terrain from a different vantage, between the walls of their canyons and atop powerful torrents of cascading water.

    Choices is a culmination of not just my life, but a collective of experiences that have impacted me and shaped the trajectory of my life. To me, life is like a jigsaw puzzle. Each interlocking piece—our experiences, skills, and talents—fit into the bigger picture: our identity. People may be positively or negatively impacted by our “pieces” when taken in isolation, but we can extend grace once we examine the big picture. This requires an intent to understand people’s personal choices, wounds, and/or trauma.
