Résumé
When a Serbian boy named Nikola Tesla was three, he stroked his cat and was enchanted by the electrical sparks. By the time he was a teenager, he had made a vow: “Someday I will turn the power of Niagara… Falls into electricity.” Here is the story of the ambitious young man who brought life-changing ideas to America. From using alternating current to light up the Chicago World’s Fair to harnessing Niagara to electrify New York City, Nikola Tesla was a revolutionary ahead of his time.
