Ne postoji tema koja je privlačnija od prirode. Razumeti ovaj veliki mehanizam, otkriti sile koje deluju i zakone koji njima upravljaju najviši je cilj čovekovog intelekta (Nikola Tesla)
There is no subject more captivating than nature. To understand this great mechanism, to discover the forces which are active, and the laws which govern them, is the highest aim of the intellect of man (Nikola Tesla)
U Teslinom Njujorku
Grad u kojem je jedan genije stvarao 20. vek Decenijama Njujork svetli i nikada ne spava zahvaljujući Nikoli Tesli, ali ga i pamti na mestima na kojima je ostavio tragove koji nikada neće izbledeti
Rođen usred velikog nevremena, Nikola Te- sla je bio dete svetlo- sti . Imigrant, inovator i patrio- ta koji je sanjao o svetu kakav je malo ko mogao da zamisli. Sti- gao je u Njujork 1884. Umro je u tom gradu na Božić, 7. janua- ra 1943, u svojoj sobi u hotelu „Njujorker“. Nad odrom su svi- rali „Ave Marija“, a potom „Ta- mo daleko“… Više od 2.000 lju- di došlo je da se oprosti od Tesle u najvećoj njujorškoj katedra- li Svetog Jovana Bogoslova. Gra- donačelnik Njujorka odžao je dirljiv oproštajni govor, a od genija se oprosti- la i Eleonora Ruzvelt, supruga predsednika Amerike. Mnogo je tragova, mnogo mesta koja više ne postoje, ali njujorške ulice manje ili više čuva- ju sećanje na „električnog mesiju“. Mi zato na ovo pu- tovanje po Njujorku idemo za- boravljajući na „Metropoliten“ ili Kip slobode…

In Tesla’s New York
The city where one genius created the 20 th century New York has shone brightly and not slept for decades thanks to Nikola Tesla, but he is also remembered in the places where he left tracks that will never fade away
located in Midtown West, offers upscale rooms and suites, including the infamous suite 3327
Born during a light- ning storm, Nikola Tesla was a child of light . An im- migrant, an innovator and a patri- ot, Tesla dreamt of a world that few others could even imagine. He ar- rived in New York in 1884, only to die in that same city on Orthodox Christmas Day, 7 th January, 1943, in his suite at the New Yorker Hotel. Above his grave they played Ave Ma- ria, followed by Serbian folk song Ta- mo Daleko… More than 2,000 people came to show their respects to Tesla
in New York’s largest cathedral, St. John the Divine. The mayor of New York gave a moving farewell speech, while also among those bidding a fi- nal goodbye to the genius was Amer- ican First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt. There are many tracks, many places that no longer exist, numer- ous New York streets that preserve the memory of the “Electric Messiah” to a greater or lesser extent, and we embark on this New York tour for- getting about the Met or the Statue of Liberty...
