Nikola Tesla: The Complete Life Story - Narrated Wikipedia Article
From a Serbian village to the forefront of electrical innovation—discover how a priest's son became one of history's greatest minds, despite poverty, illness, and a life of constant struggle.
📖 Born in 1856 in Smiljan, Nikola Tesla grew up in the Military Frontier of the Austrian Empire with an eidetic memory inherited from his mother and a burning curiosity about electricity sparked by his high school physics professor. After contracting cholera, evading military conscription, and dropping out of technical college, Tesla worked his way through Hungary and France, eventually landing at the Continental Edison Company in Paris—marking the beginning of his revolutionary career in electrical power.
