Acclaimed biography of the
"Father of Electricity" who literally lit the lamps of the
world. Tesla was a natural inventor since childhood. However, it was
his invention of alternating current, revealed to him in
a vision in Budapest when he was twenty-five, that changed the face of
the world.
Tesla's brilliant, eccentric personality gives to his life story
the quality of a strange romance. Tesla worked without schematics,
perfecting his inventions mentally before building them. He made his
first million before he was forty, yet gave up the royalties on his
most profitable invention -- the alternating current generator motor --
as a gesture of his close friendship with George Westinghouse, and died
in near poverty.
Handsome, magnetic and elegant, he was the "catch" of New
York society, yet no woman could win him from his dedication to
science. Nikola Tesla led his eccentric life with the aim of keeping his
mind clear, to be able to produce such inventions as the world had never
seen.
He refused to accept the Nobel Prize; and when others claimed credit for
the revolutionary ideas his extraordinary mind threw off like showers
of sparks, he did not contest most of them. His influence is
incalculable, and his light stretches far into the future.
