368 hal.; 19 cm New York, 1888. Gas lamps still flicker in the city streets, but the miracle of electric light is in its infancy. The person who controls the means to turn night into day will make history—and a vast fortune. A young untested lawyer named Paul Cravath, fresh out of Columbia Law School, takes a case that seems impossible to win. Paul’s client, George Westinghouse, has been sued by Thomas Edison over a billion-dollar question: Who invented the light bulb and holds the right to power the country? The task facing Cravath is truly daunting -- win. And the stakes are immense: the winner of the case will illuminate America. In obsessive pursuit of victory, Paul crosses paths with Nikola Tesla, an eccentric, brilliant inventor who may hold the key to defeating Edison, and with Agnes Huntington, a beautiful opera singer who proves to be a flawless performer on stage and off. As Paul takes greater and greater risks, he’ll find that everyone in his path is playing their own game, and no one is quite who they seem. novel inggris Novel berbahasa asing 823 9781471156687 PERPUSTAKAAN SMA REGINA PACIS SURAKARTA HUMANIS DAN BERWAWASAN GLOBAL - NPP : 3372011e2000003 /JAM BUKA Senin - Jumat : Open : 06.45 WIB /Close : 14.45 WIB / SABTU (Minggu ke 2) Open : 07.00 WIB /Close : 12.00 WIB 823 MOO t 24SR02629 My Library (800) 823 MOO t photo_6116318654443403469_y.jpg.jpg 16056 2024-01-08 08:42:45 2024-01-09 09:12:52 machine generated
