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）。在横须贺美国海军基地，有趾高气昂的美国人，也有长吁短叹的小帮会哥们儿。日森一家失去了生计，看中了养猪的买卖。听从夏威夷来的崎山说，可以白拿基地的泔水剩饭，于是他们联合一些人做起养猪的生意来，发了横财。地痞，流氓来敲诈他们，他们内部也发生分化，一个叫春驹的在斗争中被打死。一天，日森一家人听说他们吃的肉正是春驹尸体的猪，都恶心地得跑了出去。家长铁次误以为自己得了癌症，儿子欣太的女友跑到街上成了醉鬼美国兵的玩物。同伙中有两伙人都想趁夜幕把猪运出去卖掉。日森的卡车队在前面跑，军治的卡车在后面追，所有人都被卷入了狂奔的猪的漩涡中去……。
