About this audiobook
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
Listen to the Summary of Douglas Brunt's The Mysterious Case of Rudolf Diesel in 20 minutes. Please note: This is a summary & not the original book. Rudolf Diesel's early life in Paris was marked by his curiosity and exposure to technological innovations, such as the internal combustion engine at the 1867 Paris World's Fair. His family's move to London during the Franco-Prussian War exposed him to the harsh realities of industrial labor, fueling his resolve to invent an engine to empower the working class. Diesel's multilingual background and experiences in Augsburg, a hub for engineering talent, shaped his international outlook and his ambition to transform power distribution with his engine design.
