斋贺弥月

世人皆知，就在半个多世纪前的欧洲，智慧的犹太人经历了空前的浩劫。无数族人惨遭纳粹铁蹄的蹂躏与践踏。不过也有少数有幸者在他人的全力帮助和掩护下得以逃生。美籍犹太人乔纳森(伊利亚.伍德)的祖父便是这场浩劫中的幸存者之一。多年来，老人家一直将寻找当年的救命恩人视为毕生最大的愿望。但年岁已高的他无奈之下在临终前的最后一刻将此心愿留给了乔纳森。乔纳森手捧历经沧桑已经发黄的老照片前往祖父获救的东欧国家乌克兰，寻找那个在第二次世界大战的烽火中几近消失的小镇，替祖父找寻当年的救命恩人。起初，乔纳森结识了当地两位可谓古怪异常的向导亚历克斯(尤金.哈茨)和脾气暴躁的老头鲍里斯。自此，三个性格迥异的家伙开始了一段奇异之旅。而且，那个操一口东欧风格的古怪英语的亚历克斯对这位来自美国的帅哥以及美国流行文化的无限崇拜之情。不过，亚历克斯对乔纳森的寻亲之旅却没有帮上多大的忙。而那位顽固的老头子却为乔纳森准备了一条可以引路的狗。但似乎这一切都没有给乔纳森的寻亲计划带了多大的进展。不断的困境，不断的文化冲突以及渐渐的磨合，使得三个人终于找到了可以相互了解共通之处，三个人之间也逐渐有了默契可言。这次寻亲之旅也最终成了改变三个人命运的心灵之旅……。毫不妥协的记者安娜在遇到一位有影响力的陌生人后，发现自己正在领导一项不寻常的调查。物理老师瓦迪姆和相机技师尼基塔帮助她揭开一系列神秘的谜团。。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）。
