À propos de l’auteur

Michael Faraday (1791–1867) was the son of a London blacksmith and left school early to become a bookbinder's apprentice, educating himself by reading the books he bound. After attending lectures by the chemist Humphry Davy, he sent Davy his notes and was taken on as his assistant at the Royal Institution.

He discovered electromagnetic induction, the principle of the electric generator, and laid the foundations of electrochemistry, as recorded in his Experimental Researches in Electricity. He started the Royal Institution's Christmas lectures for young people, among them The Chemical History of a Candle, and refused a knighthood.
