Dr Janina Ramirez unlocks the secrets of illuminated manuscripts that were custom-made for kings and explores the medieval world they reveal. Part 1: Ruling by the Book Janina begins her journey with the first Anglo-Saxon rulers to create a united England, encountering books in the British Library's Royal manuscripts collection which are over a thousand years old and a royal family tree which is five metres long. Janina finds out about a king who had a reputation for chasing nuns and reads a book created as a wedding gift for a ten-year-old prince. She roams from Westminster Abbey to other ancient English spiritual sites such as Winchester, St Albans and Malmesbury, and sees for herself how animal skins can be transformed into the finest vellum. Part 2: What a King Should Know Janina shows how medieval manuscripts gave power to the king and united the kingdom in an age of plague, warfare and rebellion, discovers that Edward III used the manuscripts he read as a boy to prepare him for his great victory at the battle of Crecy and reveals how a vigorous new national identity bloomed during the 100 Years War with France. In the British Library's Royal Manuscripts collection Dr Ramirez finds out that magnificent manuscripts like the Bedford Hours, taken as war booty from the French royal family, were adapted for the education of English princes. She also explores how knowledge spread through a new form of book - the encyclopaedia. Part 3: Libraries Gave Us Power The story of the British Library's Royal Manuscripts collection reaches its end with the last great flowering of illumination, in the magnificent courts of the Tudors. She investigates astrological texts created for Henry VII, and unwraps his will - still in its original, extravagantly-decorated velvet and gold cover. She hears music written for Henry VIII, which went unperformed for centuries| and reads love notes between the king and Anne Boleyn, written in the margins of a prayer book. Nina also visits Bruges, the source of many of the greatest manuscripts, where this medieval art form collided with the artistic innovations of the Renaissance. （转自mvgroup论坛）。故事发生在旧金山的郊区，这边厢，杰克（杰夫·布里吉斯 Jeff Bridges 饰）尚且沉浸在妻子佩吉（Maria Mayenzet 饰）去世的悲痛之中，那边厢，他就已经成为了警方重点怀疑的对象，因为佩吉出身于富有的家庭，而她的死亡意味着她那令人垂涎的巨额遗产将落入杰克的手中。 为了洗清身上的罪名，杰克雇佣了名叫泰迪（格伦·克洛斯 Glenn Close 饰）的女律师，在相处的过程中，杰克和泰迪之间的关系渐渐开始变得暧昧不明起来，在理智与情感之间，泰迪能否拨开迷雾看清事实？她身边的这个男人，又是否真的如同看上去的那样清白无辜呢？在接近真相的同时，危险也渐渐来到了她的身后。。19世纪的英国，名门贵族法多姆凯贝家的执事锡巴斯查恩·米加艾里斯和13岁的主人西雅尔·法多姆凯贝一同作为“女王的看门犬”，承接着地下社会的脏活。受女王之命，锡巴斯查恩和西雅尔前往德国调查离奇死亡事件。二人针对相传踏入便会被诅咒而死的“狼人之森”展开调查，却突然遭到恐怖的诅咒……。
