Set against the world of fifteenth-century Mainz, the novel follows a man whose determination to develop printing draws him into difficult entanglements involving money, friendship, love and ambition. As Gutenberg offers his account, questions arise about the price others have paid for his success and how a life should be judged. Written as a fictional testimony, this historical novel brings the beginnings of a transformative technology into focus through the fallible, complicated person credited with creating it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Value Junction ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67613538910420,"sku":"TVJ-033096","price":6.9,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0721\/3059\/2980\/files\/TVJ-033096-1.jpg?v=1790813534","url":"https:\/\/thevaluejunction.co.nz\/products\/the-justification-of-johann-gutenberg-by-blake-morrison","provider":"The Value Junction ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
