The Wings of Leonardo Over the Bosphorus<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n
\r\n\"Once you have learned to fly You shall walk on the earth looking at the sky because it is there that you have been and there you shall return\" Leonardo da Vinci<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/pre>\n
An extraordinarily engaging historical novel between legend and reality, palace intrigues and jealousies\u2026 The adventurous life of Leonardo da Vinci \u2013 the man who \u201csaw\u201d the wind \u2013 and his descendants, who came from Renaissance Florence to the Ottoman Empire, making his dream of flight come true. The first man to fly- after Icarus\u2019 myth- is a young Turkish engineer, Herzarfen Ahmed Celebi. His friend and renown historian Evliya Celebi witnessed and documented this amazing endeavour watching him fly over the Golden Horn from the Tower of Galata to Uskudar on the Asian shore. It was the year 1633 and Leonardo\u2019s projects on flight, drawn one and half centuries before, were finally put into practise. But how did these projects reach the Orient? How did the young Celebi get hold of them as a legitimate heir and who was he really? Who robbed the drawings during the terrible 1509 earthquake and fire of Constantinople? How come Paolo, Da Vinci\u2019s illegitimate son, was called to work as an engraver at the Ottoman Court? The answers are mainly based on long researches made by Bartoloni, the author, on reconstructions through the writings of travellers and historians of the time and in manuscripts still treasured in the Topkapi Museum Library such as the Seyahtnamesi by Evliya Celebi\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n
