Nikola Tesla. Dark History
14.99 €
An Italian bestseller! An illustrated biography of Nikola Tesla, the great inventor, the originator of electricity, wireless communications, and electric cars. A dreamer and mystic, Nikola Tesla could explain neither his fear of germs nor his passion for numbers divisible by three, yet he could conquer lightning and turn night into day. He invented the alternating current motor and pioneered wireless communication. Tesla's patents and theoretical research are at the heart of the devices we use every day. But did you know that the scientist, in whose honor today movies are made, books are written, and even Ilon Musk's company Tesla Motors is named, spent his life in poverty, fighting for his inventions with Thomas Edison, greedy bankers and private companies? This illustrated biography tells, for the first time in a hooligan and daring author's style, the difficult journey of a scientist whose inventions, many of which remain mysterious and incomprehensible today, have made our world a more modern place. And caustic comments in the margins will not leave anyone indifferent! A truly dark story - textbooks will not write such a story! Dreamer and mystic Nikola Tesla could not explain neither his fear of germs, nor his passion for numbers divided by three, but he was able to conquer lightning and turn night into day. He invented the alternating current motor and pioneered wireless communication, but died in total oblivion. The illustrated biography of Tesla will tell about the difficult path of the great inventor: how he conquered Europe and America with his inventions, about work and then confrontation with Thomas Edison, about difficulties with financing and patents. About how private companies profited from his work, while the inventor himself spent his life in poverty, the real recognition received only after his death. A truly dark story - you won't find it in textbooks!
