Summary Tesla captures the whirlwind years of the dawn of the electrical age, when his flair for showmanship kept him in the public eye. But what of the man behind the image? Vladimir Pištalo reveals the inner life of a man haunted by the loss of his older brother, a man who struggled with flashes of madness and brilliance whose mistrust of institutional support led him to financial ruin. Tesla: A Portrait with Masks is an account of a visionary whose influence is still felt today.
