In these pages, we encounter Tesla’s colleagues and friends intermingling with Almereyda’s collaborators and influences: Thomas Edison and David Lynch, Mark Twain and Sam Shepard, Sarah Bernhardt and Ethan Hawke, J.P. Morgan and Orson Welles. A rich array of illustrations – vintage and personal photographs, film stills, drawings and comic-book art – enhance the sense of time travel and parallel histories, as we read of a scheme to transmit wireless energy through the earth, of the electrocution of an elephant, of fortunes made and surrendered, and of the obsessions that propel a scientist seeking to transform the world and a director seeking to make a movie.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 171mmItem Length: 140mmAuthor: Michael AlmereydaGenre: Films & TVTopic: Technology & Engineering, BiographyRelease Year: 2022 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
