The Passions of Johann Gutenberg: The Man Who Changed History

By Michael Brown

"THE PASSIONS OF JOHANN GUTENBERG"
A Novel by Michael Brown
The invention that terrified popes and kings - and the love one man sacrificed to create it.
Europe, 1450. Books are chained to stone walls. Scripture is guarded. Truth belongs to those who rule. Johann dares to break that order. He dreams of a machine that can multiply words faster than any scribe-a printing press that could place knowledge into the hands of ordinary people. But in an age ruled by Church and crown, such a dream is treason. Ignoring threats, Gutenberg sacrifices everything-including the woman he loves to bring his vision to life. But as the printing press develops, political unrest erupts around him into violent wars. Enemies move to destroy both the man and his machine. Debt mounts. Friends betray him. Ruined and alone, challenged by powerful forces with everything on the brink of destruction, Gutenberg faces the cost of defying the powerful-when the past returns in a way he never expected.
A sweeping, high-stakes novel of betrayal, faith, obsession, and a love powerful enough to endure the birth of a new age.
