DIA 5: SEGUNDA-FEIRA, 23 DE JULHO DE 2001, 5h53 "O sol está brilhando através das grades da minha janela, no que deve ser um glorioso dia de verão. Estou encarcerado numa cela de cinco passos por três durante doze horas e meia e só poderei sair de novo ao meio-dia. Dezoito horas e meia de confinamento solitário. Na cela abaixo de mim há um garoto de dezessete anos acusado de roubar uma loja: é seu primeiro delito, ainda nem foi condenado. Ele fica trancado por dezoito horas e meia sem poder falar com ninguém.

Em 9 de agosto de 2001, 22 dias após Jeffrey - agora conhecido como Prisioneiro FF8282 - ter sido condenado a quatro anos de prisão por perjúrio, ele foi transferido de uma prisão de segurança máxima em Londres para HMP Wayland, uma prisão de segurança média em Norfolk.

Wie viele Literatenhäuser stellt Lawrences Refugium "Clouds Hill" im südenglischen Bovington ein Abbild seiner Seele dar. Die einstige Bauernkate ist äußerst schlicht eingerichtet, aber die Bibliothek und Schallplattensammlung zeugen von dem intellektuellen Universum, das Lawrence war: Homer, Dante, Cervantes, Mozart, Beethoven und Elgar. Dann in einer Ecke rostige Fragmente von Schienen. Es sind Reliquien der Hedschasbahn von Aleppo nach Medina – Erinnerungen an seinen Guerillakrieg in der Wüste gegen die Türken. Lawrences militärische Karriere ist außergewöhnlich.

The Isle of Wight: in the summers of the 1800s, Queen Victoria holidayed here. At music festivals in the summer of love, hundreds of thousands of people got stoned here. And, in the summer of 2020, Hunter and Claire escaped locked-down North London for a week's holiday here. They fell in love with its sleepy charm – and ended up buying a Grade 2-listed home in the elegant Victorian seaside resort of Ryde. "Love in Old Age" tells the story of their first year on the island. It is a journey of discovery in a forgotten corner of England.

A revised edition of the candid, sometimes shocking, biography of Rupert Brooke revealing the very different reality behind the golden-boy façade of an English literary icon. Paragon of youthful beauty, romantic symbol of a lost England, and precociously gifted poet, Rupert Chawner Brooke died in a hospital ship off the Aegean island of Skyros in April 1915, aged just 27. All England mourned his passing. But behind the glow of myth lies a darker reality.

Die umschwärmte Filmschönheit und der talentierte Schriftsteller – es könnte eine Liebesgeschichte aus Hollywood sein.
