  Thomas Henry Lyon - Architect...

  • 0

  Thomas Henry Lyon (1869–1953) was an important architect whose work has often been ignored, because he did not take up the Modernist ideas of many of his contemporaries. His work was also almost entirely concentrated in either Cambridge or the edge of Dartmoor. His contribution to the inter-War development of the Colleges of Cambridge was immense and often overlooked: this book seeks to restore his reputation.
  
   
  The book restores to public consciousness the extensive architectural work carried out by Lyon, particularly in Cambridge, and does not gloss over the disaster of a church in Wembley which had to be closed after less than 30 years. It also looks at the important work he carried out in South Australia in the pre-1914 age, as well as his masterly reconstruction and furnishing of Sidney Sussex College chapel, which established his reputation. It has been extensively researched in archives across England, but particularly in those of the Colleges of Cambridge.

  SCHINDLER'S LIST 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION 
    
  FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY STEVEN SPIELBERG 
    
  CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE 
    
  ABOUT THE FILM 
  Schindler's List is a powerful historical drama directed by Steven Spielberg, set during the Holocaust. It follows Oskar Schindler, a German businessman who initially seeks profit by employing Jewish workers in his enamelware factory. As he witnesses the atrocities committed by the Nazis, Schindler transforms from an opportunist into a humanitarian, striving to save as many lives as possible. The film explores themes of morality, sacrifice, and the impact of one individual’s actions in the face of overwhelming evil. Shot in black and white, it emphasizes the stark, tragic realities of World War II and the Holocaust. 
    
  TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
    
  “To gather costumes for 20,000 extras, the costume designer took out advertisements seeking clothing. As economic conditions were poor in Poland, many people were eager to sell clothing they still owned from the 1930s and 1940s.” 
    
  “When survivor Mila Pfefferberg was introduced to Ralph Fiennes on the set, she began shaking uncontrollably, as he reminded her too much of the real Amon Goeth.” 
    
  “The original missing list of Schindler's Jews was found in a suitcase, along with his written legacy, hidden in the attic of Schindler's flat in Hildesheim in 1999. Oskar Schindler had stayed there during the last few months before his death in 1974.”
