| Summary | "From Immigrant to Inventor" by Michael Pupin is a memoir written in the early 20th century, reflecting on the author’s remarkable journey from Serbia to becoming a prominent American scientist and inventor. The book chronicles Pupin's early life as an impoverished immigrant who arrives in America with only five cents, his formative experiences in schooling, and the cultural challenges he faced and overcame through perseverance and ingenuity. The opening of the memoir reveals Pupin's arrival in America and his initial struggles. He describes his first experiences as an immigrant, highlighting his confidence despite a lack of financial resources, and it sets the tone for his narrative of growth and adaptation. Pupin conveys the importance of his Serbian heritage and the lessons learned from his mother and the villagers of Idvor, which shaped his character. This portion also touches on the themes of resilience, the immigrant experience, and the pursuit of education amid adversity, foreshadowing his future impact on American science.
