An electric book of the amazing life of one of the 20th century's most prodigious and colourful inventors Nikola Tesla was a guy forever misinterpreted. From his boyhood in what is present-day Croatia, where his dad, a Serbian Orthodox priest, dismissed his skills, to his tumultuous years in NEW YORK, where his warmed rivalry with Thomas Edison yielded triumphs and failures, Tesla was both demonized and lionized. Tesla catches the whirlwind many years of the dawn of the electro-mechanical age, when his flair for showmanship maintained him in the public eye. For each successful invention - the alternating-current electro-mechanical system and cordless communication among them - there have been hundreds of others. But what of the person behind the image? Vladimir Pistalo reveals the interior life of a guy haunted by the increased loss of his older brother, a guy who struggled with flashes of madness and brilliance whose mistrust of institutional support led him to financial ruin. Tesla: A Family portrait with Masks can be an impassioned account of any visionary whose impact is still noticed today.
