A fictional state or culture in which there is a great deal of misery or oppression, usually in an oppressive or post-apocalyptic setting.
The printing press was invented by Johannes Gutenberg.
Gutenberg started with the idea of printing with movable type. In 1440, it is believed that Gutenberg perfected the secret of printing based on research. He took a loan to provide for his invention and in 1450, the press was in operation.
The lines from this excerpt from Leo Tolstoy’s, "The Death of Ivan Ilyich" that use symbolism to indicate that death is approaching are:
"There was light and now there is darkness. I was here and now I'm going there!"
Here, the author uses the symbols of light and dark to represent life and death. Where there is light there is life, whereas darkness means to close his eyes forever and fall into an eternal slumber.
Tolstoy also uses the references "here" and "there" to refer to life on earth and the afterlife. Ivan feels like his time in this side is ending, and that he is finally going "there," to the afterworld.
