Produktbeschreibung

When Barbara Daddino and her partner move into their dream home, she is astounded to hear that Nikola Tesla once lived there. But there is a catch, few believe this claim.Daddino set on a on a ten-year long search for answers. Was the cottage really his home? How long did he live there? What was his life like? Who were his friends, his enemies? Daddino scours historical records and newspapers and reads Tesla''s own letters and those of his friends. Bit by bit, she pieces together the inside story of Tesla and his wonderful tower. Alternating between past and present, the narrative wends its way through New York City during the Gilded Age, the humble beginnings of Wardenclyffe-on-Sound and the Shoreham of today to discover the man behind his inventions - his perseverance and heartbreaks, triumphs and regrets, and the quarrels and friendships history has long forgotten. Part biography, part memoir, part detective story, Tesla''s Cottage: The Lost story of Wardenclyffe (and how it was recovered) brings Tesla to life and reveals the legacy he leaves for those of us living today
