Nicola Tesla has gone down in history as the inventor of alternating current, the loser in the "current wars" against Edison, the paradigm of misunderstood genius to whom history pays attention centuries later. Today he enjoys a second youth, catching the interest of younger generations and the current relevance of many of his visionary theories about wireless communication and the responsible use of energy.
This volume includes two of his most important texts, of the many he published during his lifetime in scientific journals of his time. Thanks to them, we "hear" the direct voice of a genius, a man who overcame a life of misunderstanding and failure, convinced that the future was his.
