Velmi často se lidé zamýšlejí nad tím, co vlastně znamená moderní Evropa či západní svět a kde hledat jejich počátky. Odpovědí je nepochybně možných vícero, já se na tomto místě přikloním k variantě, že za formování Evropy se vším dobrým i zlým může do značné míry vynález knihtisku v kombinaci se zámořskými objevy, ke kterým došlo o několik desetiletí později. Objev knihtisku v polovině 15. století zcela změnil paradigma množení, šíření a sdílení informací v národních jazycích a nepřímo napomohl náboženské reformaci, jeho vliv můžeme nepochybně cítit i na pozadí tzv.
