Publisher's Synopsis
From the dawn of electricity to the technologies that shape the modern world, few figures shine with as much impact and mystery as Nikola Tesla. Born in a small village in Central Europe, Tesla was more than an inventor; he was a visionary whose thinking surpassed his time, challenging scientific, economic, and cultural paradigms. His life, filled with revolutionary inventions, patent battles, grandiose dreams, and an almost mythological solitude, is one of the most fascinating stories of the era of innovation.
This book aims to dive deeply into the journey of this singular man: from his humble origins to the pivotal moments that led him to transform the world with alternating current, the coil that bears his name, and bold ideas of wireless energy transmission. We will explore his scientific achievements but also his quirks, his relationships with other giants of science and industry, and the lasting impact his discoveries have-and continue to have-on our daily lives. Throughout the chapters, we will follow Tesla not only as the genius inventor but as a complex man with dreams, doubts, struggles, and a legacy that still fuels debates, inspires artists, and sparks the imagination of future generations. Nikola Tesla was not just the man who illuminated cities; he was the invisible architect of the future. This is the story of his life and his immortal genius.
