Answer 2

In the middle of the 15th century, a very important event took place in Europe: the situation in the written literature changed radically, and the printing press was created. The name of a man who invented it was Johannes Gutenberg. He lived in Germany, in Mainz. Gutenberg built and operated the first-ever printing press with movable metal letters. Simple printing methods existed for centuries, of course, but they were done by hand and needed much time. The new press had the individual letters that could be moved quickly by the typist, creating different new pages. Due to that, books could be printed cheaper and more quickly than ever before. More and more printing presses were built across Europe. As a result, more people learned to read. Thanks to Gutenberg's discovery, written fiction was brought to ordinary men and women.
