About this listen
Skullduggery, heresy, and the power of type…
Venice, 1503: Bartolomeo is an ambitious apprentice in the workshop of the legendary Teobaldo Manuzio, better known to history as Aldus Manutius. Fate takes a daring turn when Bartolomeo impulsively absconds with a beautiful typeface commissioned exclusively for the Pope. Fleeing the narrow alleyways and canals of Venice, he seeks refuge over the mountains in Habsburg Austria. There he meets Ilse, a goldsmith’s daughter with ambitions of her own…
Against the backdrop of a continent in turmoil, Type Thief spins a mesmerising tale of ambition, betrayal, and the timeless art of typography.
