The first Slovenian book on electricity from 1897

»A special lure surrounds electricity and everything associated with it. A young man discovering the secrets of this physical science for the first time is most interested in the chapter on electricity.« A quote from the preface to the first Slovenian book on electricity (1897). Author: Ivan Šubic (1856–1924).

»A special lure surrounds electricity and everything associated with it. A young man discovering the secrets of this physical science for the first time is most interested in the chapter on electricity; but also the adult man who has already forgotten the things he had learned in school follows the enormous progress of the science of electricity and its triumphant path through the world with curiosity. The use of strong electric currents is marvellously spreading among the educated nations and has crossed the modest borders of our country.«
