Resumo
This dissertation investigates the status of autobiographical writing for Nikola Tesla (1856-
1943). Not the dawn of the twentieth century, this Serbian-American inventor threw himself
into the autobiographical enterprise. In it is present Tesla's eagerness for recognition as a "great
inventor" who he believed to be. Its trajectory was characterized by the passage of the glorious
moment that it experienced in the scientific community to the process of ostracism in which it
was. His decline was not only financial or professional, but especially existential, since his time
was what made sense to his life. Convinced of the excellence of his work, Nikola Tesla built an
autobiography project, conceived as a concept of perception of the importance of his inventions
to the world. For him, only the ideal inventors, who participate that the class of "exceptionally
privileged class" would guard the world from eminent destruction. The autobiography was used
as a model for Tesla to transform a conception of people, altering the existing world and turning
it into an ideal place where its actualization is not more serious through writing, but through its
inventions, its main purpose would consist of Safeguard a humanity from the catastrophe. The
autobiographical writing was perceived by Nikola Tesla as a resource to transform the existing
world, and to resurface as an ideal inventor.
