Eva's new enigma

Hi!

I'm here again... My turn.

I don't change the subject. So, literature (and myths) again.

1. Where can we go if we are invited by a clever man who solves enigmas playing his violin? I need his address, for the taxi of course. (And who is our host?)


2. Who arrived in London in 1897 on board of the Demeter, in search of food and love?


3. (A bit more difficult) Who wrote a modern Bestseller that illustrates the problems about multiculturalism and the second generation of immigrants, taking place in Villesdeen, London?


4. And the last one; I'm really fond of a comic (I really love some draws) that tells the story (mixing the truth with the hypothetical) of the most famous killer over the word. Where did it happen? And, what's the book?

Your turn (I love solving and making enigmas)

Good luck!!

Another place to visit.. :D

Hey people ! :)
Everything in London is so amazing, and there are a lot of places to go to visit, and
my classmates have posted about some of these places, and now, I'm going to say
another place to visit, very important in London, :D :
The O2 Stadium :D, but, what is the best way to see it? Well, on 8th and 9th of June,
the most important singer all over the world, Beyoncé Knowles is going to make a performance!
So we could make a look over there ^^

The Victoria Memorial

The Victoria Memorial is a sculpture in London, placed at the center of Queen's Gardens in front of Buckingham Palace.

It was built by the sculptor Thomas Brock, in 1911.

It has a large statue of Queen Victoria facing north-westwards towards The Mall. The others sides of the monument feature dark patinated bronze statues of angel of justice, the angel of truth and Charity facing Buckingham Palace. On the pinnacle, is Victory with two seated figures. The subsidiary figures were gifted by the people of New Zealand.

I hope that we see it. I think that The Victoria Memorial is a beautiful sculpture and it has a lot of history.

The answer to the enigma

Here you are:

• Real name and English name: The Historia Regum Britanniae English: The History of the Kings of Britain
• The person who wrote this book: Geoffrey of Monmouth
• It was written more or less in c.1136
• This book tells a pseudohistorical account of British history. It chronicles the lives of the kings of the Britons in a chronological narrative spanning a time of two thousand years, beginning with the Trojans of Homer's Iliad founding the British nation and continuing until the Anglo-Saxons assumed control of Britain around the 7th Century. It is one of the central pieces of the Matter of Prices.
  It has little value as history – when events described, such as Julius Caesar's invasions of Britain, can be corroborated from contemporary histories, Geoffrey's accounts can be seen to be wildly inaccurate – but is a valuable piece of medieval literature, which contains the earliest known version of the story of King Lear and his three daughters, and introduced non-Welsh-speakers to the legend of King Arthur.

(next day I'll post some pictures and a NEW ENIGMA)

Good luck

Eva, it's your turn

Eva, what did you think, that you would be the only person to write enigmas? If you thought this, you were so mistaken...!

Now, it's your turn. You have to answer my enigma.

My enigma is:

"It is a pseudohistorical account, it chronicles the lives of the kings of the Britons in a chronological narrative spanning a time of two thousand years. It has little value as history but is a valuable piece of medieval literature. It counts a beautiful history"

I want:

• The name of this book (Real name and English name)
• The person who wrote this book
• The year of this book
• And what tells this book

I wait very impatient for your answer...

Westminster Abbey

Westminster Abbey or Collegiate Church of St. Peter of Westminster is a Gothic church the size of a cathedral. It's the traditional place for coronations and burials of British monarchs.

It's located in Westminster. This church is very nice and interesting and I think that we should visit it.

I hope that we go there.

K&S Associated come back!!

Once again Eva, we've found the answer of your enigma. We have waited 4 days and noone has answered, so they have to shut up! jajaja
We start with the Pelicans. We can see them in St Jame's Park. They’ve been there for a long time. Since the 1660s to be exact.
The first pelicans were presented to Charles II by the Russian ambassador. At the time, diarist John Evelyn was not impressed - he described them at the time as “between a stork and a swan”, which isn’t particularly accurate, and fails to describe their most unusual and noticeable attribute - the huge pouches under their beaks.
I haven’t been able to find out the names of all of the pelicans.
The pelicans may be relatively recent arrivals in the history of London - but they have become as much a part of the city as the ravens of the Tower. So perhaps it’s not surprising that there’s now a myth that if the pelicans ever leave St James’s Park, it will be the end of civilisation as we know it

The second part of your enigma is: London celebrates the 250th birthday of the Kew Gardens. Kew Gardens are extensive gardens and botanical glasshouses between Richmond and Kew in southwest London, England. It is an internationally important botanical research and education institution. There, we can see a lot of trees from the 5 continents in the Earth. (We can see the Alpine house, the Chokushi-Mon, the Compost heap, the Kew Palace, the Minka house, theMarianne North Gallery, museums, the Pagoda and more beautiful things). All spectacular, obviously. By: K&S Associated

Enigma number seven

The Century of Lights! With Harrison and his invention the English became the most powerful navy of the world. They dominated over the seas and with their power arrived at the most remote corners of the earth. There, they discovered wonderful things that collected carefully and brought to Britain... Nowadays, we can enjoy the most beautiful springs in London surrounded by part of these collections that, in a way, have arrived up to now.

• There are pelicans living in London! Where? Why?
• What celebrates its 250 birth? What can we see there? (I'm very fond of it; in my opinion it is one of the best places to walk in good company. A lovely place to share with someone special, mostly in spring).

I would like to see some beautiful pictures, as usual.

Good search!
