Magical Sails

Beschreibung

This great historical-scientific adventure begins with the fact that Tesla's childhood is in danger because the Evil Fairy Gromlina plans to use Tesla's inventions to control and then rule the world. A boy Luka, a little girl Lana, and the guardian-fairy Angelina take a stand against Gromlina's evil - and they will have the help of a fairy-robot Viloid. During their journey through the scientist's childhood (in Smiljan) and Tesla's career (in Paris, New York, Chicago, and Niagara Falls), our heroes learn again about good and evil, whether enemies can be on the same side, and about the importance of forgiveness... Magical Sails: A Nikola Tesla Story is a book that opens the world of scientific inspiration to all generations. Through this extraordinary story about Tesla, the reader witnesses the scientist's triumph at the great World's Fair in Chicago, discovers his laboratory in New York, stands at the top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris in 19th century, and fights the great waterfalls of Niagara. The many colorful illustrations evoke these moments and make them real and unique. By the close of this book, we are reminded how important childhood is in forming a future adult life.
