Edison began to work when he was twelve years old. His first job was a newspaper boy on a train. He soon began to produce his own newspaper. Then Edison got lessons in telegraphy and the next five years he worked as a telegraphist in various cities of the US and Canada.

In 1877 Edison invented a phonograph. Next Edison became interested in the invention of an electric-light bulb for lightning streets and buildings by electricity instead of by gas.

It had taken Edison and his assistants thirteen months to produce the in-candescent lamp, but he already knew, that success awaited it. Edison was sure that the lamp should be burnt for a hundred hours.

Edison carried out experiments from morning till night. For months he slept no more than one or two hours a day. Yet he had time to read not only scientific books. He was found of Shakespeare and Tom Pain. He had over 10000 volumes in his library.
