Edison: A Revelatory Biography

This groundbreaking new biography by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Edmund Morris sheds light on the life of Thomas Alva Edison, one of America's most prolific geniuses. Beyond his famous invention of the first practical incandescent lamp, Edison was a philosopher, futurist, chemist, botanist and wartime defence adviser, with 1,093 patented inventions to his name.

Morris brings his interpretive acuity and literary elegance to the task of portraying both the mythological memory of Edison and the unknown individual behind it. The result is a richly detailed portrait of a man whose legacy extends far beyond his most famous achievements.
