By 1500 they were printed and numbered in their millions. The invention of one man - Johann Gutenberg - had caused a revolution. Printing by movable type was a discovery waiting to happen. Born in 1400 in Mainz Germany Gutenberg struggled against a background of plague and religious upheaval to bring his remarkable invention to light. His story is full of paradox: his ambition was to reunite all Christendom but his invention shattered it; he aimed to make a fortune but was cruelly denied the fruits of his life's work. Yet history remembers him as a visionary; his discovery marks the beginning of the modern world.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: The Gutenberg Revolution\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Man John\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Transworld Publishers Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9780553819663\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 304 Pages, 8 Pages Colour\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 5\/1\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Inventions \u0026amp; Inventors","brand":"Man John","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55959516184881,"sku":"IN-G-9780553819663","price":27.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9780553819663-the-gutenberg-revolution","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
