Since childhood, he had thus become connected with that unknown world and things, striving to illuminate them as much as possible in his consciousness. This led him, even from childhood, to invent many things that his peers could not have dreamed of. As he grew up, his imagination became so strong that he was entirely immersed in his imagined world, which became increasingly ordinary and familiar to him. Thus, he delved deeper and deeper into the realm of that unknown world, discovering many new truths that were entirely unknown to others.
Tesla’s love for books
— Young Nikola becomes disobedient —
