Tesla's family and childhood

I'm only about 50 pages into the first chapter of the book. This chapter is called Light and Power and is divided into 8 different sections. The first 10 or so pages of the book is mostly the author telling the reader why Tesla is such a renowed inventor and why he deserves more praise then he currently gets. After this sorta introduction the author delves into the history of Nikola Tesla himslef. Tesla's parwents are Reverand Milutin Tesla and his wife Djouka. He was born in the border province of Lika which is now part of Yukaslovia.Tesla had 2 sisters and 3 brothers, the oldest of the Tesla boys Dane passed away when Nikola was only 5 years of age. Dane was an extremely brialliant boy and Nikola strived to be like him. Nikola attended the Normal school in his village until the age of 10 when he enrolled in the Real gymnasium which is the equivalent to our high school. He showed remarkable talent in the studies of mathmatics and the sciences.Though Tesla enjoyed school the experiments he did outside of it with water wheels and other electical works fasinated him more. After finishing the Real Gymnasium with exceptionally high marks he continued his education at the Higher Real Gymnasium in Croatia. The next section is about his experiences at the Higher Real Gymnasium and beyond which I will hear about as I continue reading.
