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）。电视剧《解密》改编自作家麦家1991年创作的畅销同名小说，故事围绕数学奇才容金珍破解超级密码（紫密和黑密）展开。 新中国建国初期，X国派出代号“觉醒者”为首的特务组织潜入我国，启用代号为“紫密”的高级密码进行联络，对我国国防建设造成重大破坏。特别单位701郑当等人奉命在全国搜罗各类天才，为破译“紫密”乃至代表最高智力水平的“黑密”补充新鲜力量，有特殊数学天赋的“傻瓜天才”容金珍等人被发掘进入了701，一段隐秘而伟大的传奇故事徐徐展开。容金珍等人不仅要解开一部如天书般的密码，更要解开“701人”的“人生之密”——包括他们的身世之密、命运之密、个性之密、情怀之密。每个人都肩负着各自的使命，每个人内心都藏着自己的秘密，因为同一个信仰和目标，他们努力拼搏，只为证明共和国无名英雄们的价值。 本片根据著名作家麦家的同名小说改编。。动画大师奎氏兄弟第一次拍摄真人表演的故事长片 为幻想主义主题开拓了一个新的层面 特里·吉列姆称：三百年内最具视觉魅力且不遗幽默的电影，令我嫉妒” 简介：观众被片中幽暗阴森的迷宫与回廊、荒谬突兀的人物情节所震慑；特里·吉列姆(Terry Gilliam)更称此片是一部“最近三百年内我看到的最具视觉魅力且不遗幽默的电影，令我感到嫉妒”的作品。 在创作灵感来自晦涩文学或奇思怪想的作品同时，他们还拍摄了一系列音乐录影短片、广告和电视宣传片以及为歌剧担任舞台美术设计；值得一提的是，彼得·格林纳威的《一加一的故事》便是以奎氏兄弟为蓝本。。
