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）。奔波忙碌的现代化都市，男男女女为了生计疲于奔命，却往往让内心的情感无处安置。在东京某耐火材料制造公司上班的普通职员杉山正二（池部良 饰）这是这群大众中的一员，他眼巴巴地等待着升迁的机会，苦熬年头。婚后多年情感转淡，加上孩子的夭折，让正二和妻子昌子（淡岛千景 饰）的关系变得冷淡而微妙。无聊枯燥的人生骤起波澜，被称为“金鱼”的公司女职员金子千代（岸惠子 饰）闯入正二的视线，更让这个男人有了出轨的机会。原本便濒临崩溃的婚姻开始皲裂，昌子悲伤绝望，而正二也突然得到外派偏远分公司的调令。 杉山夫妇的关系受到严峻的考验……。
