Summary
Arthur Beckhard: Nikola Tesla
Beckhard's novelized biography of Nikola Tesla is an easy-to-understand, simple-language life drama of this great inventor. Wondering how a boy from the province became one of the greatest scientific geniuses, the author primarily deals with Tesla's personality, i.e. the key life experiences that determined his psychology and character. For this reason, he paid the most attention to the childhood of the future genius, marked by a warm but complicated relationship with his parents, and the tragedy of his prematurely deceased older brother.
Following Tesla's rise during his years of schooling, the engineering profession in Budapest, Paris and finally in America, Beckhard also writes about his innovative work, above all in the field of alternating current, in a way that is completely understandable to laymen.
Reading Arthur's book Beckhard, on the one hand you will get to know the basics of his scientific work and the context in which he left an indelible mark on the history of the human race, and on the other hand you will enjoy a well-written biography with many extremely emotional situations and dramatic twists.
