Synopsis "Johannes Gutenberg: The Man Behind the Printing Press (in English)"
Johannes GutenbergArchimedes once said, "Give me but a firm spot on which to stand and I shall move the earth." Well, Johannes Gutenberg must have been standing on granite because his impact on the world has been earth-shattering. Before his time, books were a rarity, only affordable for the rich or influential. So, in order to make books accessible for everyone, Gutenberg invented a printing press using movable type. Inside you will read about...- Gutenberg's Early Childhood- The Printing Press- Impact of German Movable Type Printing Press- Gutenberg's Books- Later Life and DeathAnd much more!Printing became faster and cheaper. Suddenly books were available everywhere, which led to the lower classes in society learning to read and to write. People were discovering books, but they were unearthing much more than what they were reading. There was an explosion of information, very much like the Information Age of today, which set people on quests for the truth. This would lead to the Renaissance and the Age of Enlightenment, where fundamental human truths were challenged at every level. And it all started with a book.
