СКАЧАТЬ about many things. He offered me a house in Amboise, in the Loire region of France. The house was near his castle. Francis said that he wanted to learn from me. I accepted his offer and I made the long journey across France. It was a good thing to do. In France, I was given everything that I needed for my work. Most days, the king walked to my house. We discussed my scientific ideas and sometimes we discussed the king’s political problems too. I stayed in France until my death on 2^nd May 1519.

      I spent much of my time in France writing notes about my ideas. I wanted the scientists of the future to have them. But I made these notes in back-to-front writing, so that no one who came to my house could easily read them. I didn’t want anyone to steal my work while I was alive. In fact, people weren’t able to read these notes until 1651, when they were finally printed in a book. That was over 130 years after my death!

      In my notes, I wrote about my work and my life. During my life, I invented new ways of thinking. During my life, I asked new questions about our world and its people. During my life, I studied art, anatomy, architecture, geometry, geology, mathematics, and pathology. And I hoped for a better future.
