The Lena River. The Lena is the 10th-longest river in the world, flowing 2,734 miles across the Far East regions of Russia, forming near Lake Baykal and flowing northeast to the Arctic Ocean. It empties in a 250-mile-wide delta at the Laptev Sea.
This was essential to the success of the Reformation. GUTENBERG, JOHANN (c. 1398â1468), German printer, is supposed to have been born 1398â1399 at Mainz of well-to-do parents, his father being Friele zum Gensfleisch and his mother Elsgen Wyrich, whose birthplace âGutenbergâ, was the name he adopted.
After a four year period when he left Strasburg, and where we donât know where he went, Gutenberg was back in Mainz, borrowing money from Johann Fust to finish his project. More money was advanced in 1452, and in 1455 Fust sued Gutenberg-who was after perfection rather than production-for all the money back. Whether this ruined Gutenberg or left him free is debated. But by then he had created his system, the one that would transform the world. He thought of using small blocks for individual letters, in a press inspired by rural wine making, and with a new ink.
