About this listen

 Dive into the intriguing final years of Johannes (John) Gutenberg, the visionary behind the invention of the movable letter press. Set in the backdrop of Mayence, this podcast explores Gutenbergs life of poverty, his allies, adversaries, and the surprising reasons behind his financial struggles. This narrative was meticulously crafted by volunteers at Distributed Proofreaders in just two days, marking their 15th anniversary with the 50,000th published book at Project Gutenberg. (Narrated by Claudia Salto)
