  1. Check Vladimir Pistalo's book on Ask Slashdot: Best Books On the Life and Work of Nikola Tesla? · · Score: 1

    Depending on your language skills, you might try Vladimir Pistalo: "Nikola Testa, A Portrait Among the Masks" http://www.agora-books.co.rs/i... or http://www.amazon.com/Pishtalo... One curiosity from that book. Shortly after dropping out of school in Graz http://www.teslauniverse.com/n... he moved to Maribor http://www.teslauniverse.com/n... where wasted his energy on alcohol and gambling. What impressed me most was the way his mother cured him of gambling. After he was deported from Maribor back to Gospic, mother gave him all her money and told him to spend it on gambling, and get cured in this way. He was so ashamed that he stopped.
