Thompson is a biographical sketch written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the life and contributions of Philipp Reis, an often-overlooked inventor, specifically focusing on his development of early telephone technology. The book aims to both celebrate Reis's achievements and provide a fair evaluation of his contributions to communication technology without bias. The opening of the text introduces Philipp Reis’s early life, detailing his upbringing in Gelnhausen and education that fostered his interest in science and languages. It chronicles his journey from a master baker's son to a passionate inventor, highlighting key educational milestones and pivotal moments that shaped his innovative spirit. The narrative begins to weave in his experiments and vision for a device that could transmit sound over distances, ultimately leading to his invention, the "Telephon," setting the stage for the more detailed exploration of his actual work and the recognition it received—or failed to receive—in the scientific community.
