Nikola Tesla Books

Books written by or about Nikola Tesla

Nikola Tesla was a very good and obedient child, but he made a mistake by not listening to his parents in this matter. However, he did not consider that excessive reading could truly harm his otherwise delicate health. Nevertheless, this example shows how Tesla was driven by an increasing thirst for knowledge and how he managed to navigate and adapt even in such adversity to satisfy his strong desire for learning.

Listen, children, always listen to your parents. They are your greatest friends and benefactors.
