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）。根据周梅森中篇小说《军歌》改编。 抗日战争初期，日军在几次大战之后，俘获了大批中国战俘。这些战俘中有当时的中央军、杂牌军，还有少数八路军。他们被一起押进了日军建立的“第九死亡营”。中央军的老侦察兵田德胜、刘子平与八路军的骑兵营长孟泽新、战士章德龙一起被关进了四号班房。在四号班房中，以川军营长老祁为首的一批战俘，正在秘密筹划冲出死亡营。他们利用在煤矿井下劳动的机会，不断寻空进入一些老洞子去摸路，期望能找到一条可以逃走的出口。与此同时，以孟泽新为首的一批战俘也在准备越狱，双方虽是同一目的，却互不信任，各行其是。死亡营司令官龙泽寿是个凶狠而又狡猾的日军少佐，为了给侵华日军提供更多的煤炭，他不仅指派汉奸来对付战俘监工，还在战俘中寻找告密者。不久，老祁被汉奸告发了。龙泽寿集合起全营战俘，放出狼狗将老祁咬得血肉模糊。游击队为了营救死亡营中的全体战俘，派张麻子混进...。
