Title basically says it all, came across this reading "Genghis Kahn" and it made me scratch my head. I was always taught Gutenberg took Europe from labor intensive manual transcription to modular type. But it appears similar technologies already existed at least among the huge and widely influential Mongol Empire. Was there printing in Europe before Gutenberg? If so what was it like? If not... Why not?
Instead Iβm laying here at 11pm having a panic attack and mental break down, but itβs not Monday for me πππ

Itβs been done for every release since Iβve been here - where you at?
I read this book about 10 years ago. It was a short read. The book had a tan paperback cover, it was small and thin. The author had a Spanish sounding name.
From what I remember, the story is about a young woman who falls in love with a. Sailor that had kind of a bad reputation. He either got murdered or was lost at sea but the young woman becomes depressed and holds up in her home constantly looking out the window waiting for her man to come back.
I think her grandmother or mother becomes kind of a spiritual guide for her to find her way back to herself?
The setting is somewhere in the eastern hemisphere during the middle ages or renaissance period.
Themes were spiritual, natural (especially regarding the sea and water).... Hope any of this sounds familiar. I have thinking about this story for years would love to read it again.
Long shot: if you're a tall seemingly biracial man that worked at Sutherland global in Rochester NY around 2012-2013... I lent you this book one day at work and never got it back lol remind of the title??
We over here in the West followed you up today. Get busy and keep it rollin! Goodnight.. I look forward to seeing the price when I wake up in the morning!
Happy Friday!
This week I've picked out an interesting series from Red 5 Comics, called Afterburn. The story takes place in the aftermath of a devastating solar flare that destroys the entire eastern hemisphere. The entire first issue is completely free to read - no ads, no paywalls, no account creation required.
Here's the description from Red 5 Comics:
>A year ago, a massive solar flare destroyed the Earth's eastern hemisphere with the power of a thousand nuclear bombs. But amid chaos, there's profit. That's where Jake comes in, retrieving valuable items from the remains⦠when he can outwit the competition and the mutated locals.
And here's a direct link to the comic: https://globalcomix.com/c/afterburn/chapters/en/1/1
