1973年，芝加哥一家医院的看门人亨利·达杰去世，81岁。他没有亲人，没有朋友，邻居甚至都不知道他的姓氏该怎么发音。房东在清理他的遗物时惊奇地发现，他留下了一部长达1500页的小说：《不真实的国度》。小说讲的是一场儿童和成年人之间的战争。儿童被奴役、被虐待、被惨杀,然后又被儿童营救。亨利·达杰根据小说画了三百多幅美丽诡异的水彩画，这些画有很多长达3米，纸的两面画着不同的情节。 这个出身卑微，没受过什么教育的人，靠模仿杂志上的插图、招贴画和商品广告画完成了这些画作。 日裔房东有些艺术修养，看出了这些遗作的价值，将亨利·达杰曾经住过的房间开辟成了一间博物馆。媒体报道了这件事，人们惊讶一个像梵·高一样的天才就这样将自己藏了一生。 1990年代初，曾获得奥斯卡最佳短纪录片奖的华裔电影人于琳敏参观了这里，她一下就被这些神秘的画作吸引。她和很多人一样，想象着这部...。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）。
