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）。该剧围绕美人照相馆摄影师钱鹤仁与昌盛照相馆老板朱盛茂展开，讲述了日本侵华过程中一大批有志之士为了国家而奔走呼号的故事。钱鹤仁桀骜不驯、才华超群，他酷爱女性摄影，追求完美的艺术境界，立志要在国际摄影展上展示东方女性美，远近女性慕名而至。钱鹤仁超人的摄影技术使他赢得了国际荣誉和很多爱慕，却也带给他生死磨难。他所有的人生戏剧、恩怨情仇都是源于他的摄影。在那个动荡的年代，钱鹤仁凭借自己的摄影才华与日本关东军特高课中佐浅井寺一和国民党邪恶势力斗智斗勇，一次次地化险为夷，重创日军，维护了自己的人生原则以及民族气节。。
