In Hamburg lebten zwei Ameisen,
die wollten nach Australien reisen.
Bei Altona auf der Chaussee,
da taten ihnen die Beine weh.
Und da verzichteten sie weise,
dann auf den letzten Teil der Reise.

Youthful, ambitious Peter Schoeffer is on the verge of
professional success as a scribe in Paris when his foster father, wealthy
merchant and bookseller Johann Fust, summons him home to corrupt, feud-plagued
Mainz to meet “a most amazing man.” Johann Gutenberg, a driven and caustic
inventor, has devised a revolutionary—and to some, blasphemous—method of
bookmaking: a machine he calls a printing press. Fust is financing Gutenberg’s
workshop and he orders Peter to become Gutenberg’s apprentice. Resentful at
having to abandon a prestigious career as a scribe, Peter begins his education
in the “darkest art.”As his skill grows, so too does his admiration for Gutenberg
and his dedication to their daring venture: copies of the Holy Bible. But
mechanical difficulties and the crushing power of the Catholic Church threaten
their work. As outside forces align against them, Peter finds himself torn
between the genius and the merchant, the old ways and the new. He and the men
he admires must work together to prevail against overwhelming obstacles—a
battle that will change history . . . and irrevocably transform them.Alix Christie: Gutenberg's Apprentice. A novel. Paperback, 432 pages. Harper Perennial 2015. English edition
