'A lovely piece of work; finely researched and beautifully, atmospherically written' Sarah Dunant A gripping historical novel that brings tumultuous medieval Europe to life. Not to be missed by readers of Hilary Mantel, Peter Ackroyd and C. J.
Sansom. Johann Gutenberg's first printed Bibles amazed and shocked medieval Europe. He had started a revolution that would one day put books in the hands of any man or woman who wanted them.
The project was fraught with danger, for it threatened the power of politicians and the Catholic church. Who was this Gutenberg? In Alix Christie's evocative and compelling novel, he comes vividly to life - driven, caustic and ruthless. Behind him stands a brilliant young scribe, Peter Schoeffer, whose genius is to stay true to his artistic values in the cauldron of the printer's workshop.
Caught between the old ways and the new, the two men struggle with one another and the world outside to prevail against overwhelming obstacles...and change history. A semifinalist for the VCU Cabell First Novelist Award.
