i ' ll admit , when i saw that this movie was about soccer , i kind of knew going in that i wouldn ' t exactly be a fan . but really , that ' s not even the movies main problems . does detective conan : the eleventh striker hold up ?
so far , the eleventh striker is great movie . they also have real soccer player for special apperance . yes , this movie also promotion for celebration of j . league’s 20th anniversary . i didn’t realize it until i read the synopsis on internet…hehe

the quality are more better than previous film . i compare it with the old detective conan the movie . the lines of drawing and color are more sharp and clear .

in the end , detective conan : the eleventh striker was a somewhat average movie , though part of that relies on how much you like the movie cast and all the j - league praising . ( oddly enough the soccer explanations are actually pretty interesting . ) the action scenes are really fun and the mystery engaging , but the actual cast is fairly boring and the payoff is kind of unsatisfying . i would only recommend it to the dc fans to just watch it to get out of the way if you want to watch all the movies , but otherwise i ' m very hesitant to recommend it .
nakaoka explains that the bomb is also installed in national stadium , but will explode at 5 . 50 , 35 minutes later than other stadiums , and the key to defuse the bomb at national stadium actually stays at touto stadium where he is standing . in one of his riddles , he reveals he ' s searching for an 11th striker that can end his revenge ; otherwise , the bombs set in each of the stadiums will detonate , taking with them , the thousands of people attending the matches . he originally plans for it to be kogoro ; however conan shows up instead after deciphering the code . with the help of ayumi , mitsuhiko , genta and haibara , conan manages to deactivate the bomb despite being at a disadvantage . nakaoka realizes that conan was eleventh striker he was searching for .

the detective boys attend a promotional event where the j . league play soccer with children where the group are acquainted with the people there . the next day , the detective boys watch the soccer match at touto stadium . kogoro mori receives a phone call from a bomber who supplies the location of a bomb in the form of a riddle . the riddle reads
blue zebra and blue boy , rain from above , people from below , their left hand , as it is shows , the tree on the left . ran mori relays the riddle to shinichi kudo allowing conan to decipher it . the blue zebra and boy refer to the mascots of the teams currently playing at touto stadium . the rest of the riddle is a play on kanji ; the top part of rain ( ? ) , bottom part of people ( ? ) , left of hand ( ? ) , show ( ? ) as it is , and the left of tree ( ? ) . filling in the missing parts of the kanji and adding them together in order forms the word electronic scoreboard ( ? ) . with little time to evacuate the spectators , conan traverses up the infrastructure and arranges the explosives so the scoreboard in the opposite direction of the people .

conan and his friends were invited to the premier of an new virtual computer game . but someone programmed the game , that if they can ' t answer the riddle in the game , they all have to die .
the plot little bit slow and actually i was expect it will be like 12th movie , full score of fear . but the plot twist in the climax really shocking . and i feel nervous watching the scenes where conan desperately stop the bomb .
kobun shizuno ( detective conan : quarter of silence , shin kyūseishu densetsu hokuto no ken : toki - den ) is directing under the supervision of the franchise ' s chief director yasuichiro yamamoto . as they have for most of the films so far , kazunari kouchi ( aoyama gōshō tanpen - shū ) is writing the script , and katsuo ono ( dna sights 999 . 9 , fake ) is composing the music .
a threatening phone call is made to mori ' s private detective office and a car parked across the street from the office explodes in front of kogoro . a blue boy , a green zebra and rain are the clues left by the criminal . if the clues are not solved more explosions will follow .
after an interaction with j - league professional players , conan and co watches the big match between tokyo spirits and gamba osaka , only to find out that a bomb has been planted in the stadium . it is now up to conan once again to foil the culprit ' s plans and reveal his / her true identity .
by the way , i love conan and ai’s relationship . since the last movie , they become partner and ai shows soft side too . i ship them now ! > , <

( source : ann )
she goes to takahiro sanada ' s soccer game to take pictures and sees the detective boys and buy snacks for them as reward for providing her news since they caught a stalker . she notices sanada is acting odd and shows conan the photo of sanada kicking the soccer ball with his left foot , which he usually uses , but only used his right in the game . she tries to take a photo of sanada scoring a goal , but he misses .
it ' s hinted the next movie has a cruise ship in it . i can only hope it hasn ' t been rigged up with bombs that conan has to stop .
koda is an ambitious camerawoman and always looking for new scoops . she is friendly towards the detective boys and buy snacks for them . she has good observation skills , as she noticed that takahiro sanada was kicking the soccer ball with his right food instead of his usual left foot .
conan solves the first riddle and finds the bomb planting on the electronic scoreboard of touto stadium . he manages to inform the police to evacuate the fans on the spirits side before the bomb explodes , thus leaving no casualties . however , only two weeks later , another threatening letter was sent to mouri kogoro ' s residence , announcing the bomber has installed bombs in all the stadiums and will explode at the end of the matches , unless certain conditions are satisfied . this time , no evacuation or bomb defuse attempts are allowed .
this is also the movie where conan messes up all over the place and gets sloppy . i don ' t know if they were trying to be a little more realistic , but he seems to have trouble making the jumps and perfect landings . as such the ending takes a bit more
the police and conan solve the second code and inform the ten strikers of the teams to perform the secret action the culprit has demanded . thanks to that , they successfully defuse the bombs in nine stadiums , and apparently the activation signal in the national stadium is malfunctioned . meanwhile , the police , led by shiratori , investigates a potential suspect , keiichirou motoura . he has a clear motive for bombing : his son , tomofumi , dies on the way to the hospital , where the ambulance carrying him was blocked by mouri kogoro for two minutes , and motoura carries the crime out of revenge for his son . motoura , while being angry at mouri , denies that he install the bombs .

overall this movie is about soccer . it ' s officially sponsored by j - league , whose team members actually show up in the movie . the whole plot is pretty much copy pasted from the previous . we have bombs going to go off and conan has to stop it . only this time it ' s soccer themed . really it ' s getting boring . i kind of remember conan movies having a bit more mystery and intrigue . also it seems some of the hints they give are kind fo disjointed as they don ' t give you the other clues and have you put them together .
in previous movie , we always served with the scenes where ran thinking about shinichi and often feels dissapointment because she thinks shinichi was around to help her , but it turns out to be conan . but in this installment , we’ll not see that . instead of that , conan seen spend his time with ai more often . he depends ai so much in this movie , which is lead me to think they’ll be couple : p
art ( 8 / 10 ) : here is where the movie shines , since the soccer matches were really well animated . the whole movie actually looks really good , with action sequences being the highlight . other than that it just looks good and holds the trend of the movies having better art than the series .
time to end how you expect it to end . . . with conan kicking a soccer ball into something to stop the timer . if you couldn ' t guess that ' s what was going to happen , you must be new here .

kogoro received threatening call from mysterious person . after seeing bomb explode in front of his eyes , he takes challenge from culprit to prevent another bomb explode . and as usual , he along with police can’t find it . conan is the one who find it in toto stadion .
character ( 5 / 10 ) : this movie just kind of juggles characters around and doesn ' t use them well at all . conan , ai , professor agasa , and the police characters come out ok , but everyone else is just . . . there , i guess .

but honestly ? a lot of this movie just seems tacked on . while the mystery itself and the execution of the bomb threats is actually pretty entertaining , the rest of the story just seems rather boring . i really can ' t go into more without hitting spoilers , but a lot of the movie feels way too artificially structured and has no real natural flow to it . it ' s just average at best .
the final culprit is also supremely whiny and while his motivation would kind of drive a person to the notion of a personal attack , i ' m not sure to it makes sense in the scale of the story . also they start going crazy at the end for . . . reasons ? i dunno , everyone here just felt weak ( and funnily enough , sort of mirror the last movies cast . huh . )
true criminal is kazumasa nakaoka . his motive is revenge for the death of tomofumi motoura , son of soccer coach , keiichirou motoura . back when he was still able to play soccer , he met tomofumi and the two became friends when tomofumi begged to learn soccer from kazumasa . despite having a weak body , tomofumi insisted on learnig to play the game which deeply moved kazumasa . however , after kazumasa ' s bike accident , which left him injured and unable to play , the two lost contact . a few years later when tomofumi was in the 4th grade , the two met again with tomofumi playing on his school ' s soccer team . despite making it onto the soccer team however , tomofumi never participated in any of the games because of his weak body . when he was given the chance to play during a game , nakaoka made him a promise that the two would celebrate if tomofumi made a goal , which he managed to do . on the day that nakaoka went to celebrate with tomofumi , he was told by his mother that tomofumi had died in an accident coming home from practice one afternoon . this left him deeply distraught and upon learning from tomofumi ' s father that the ambulance that was carrying tomofumi to the hospital was stopped by a mob of people during a soccer match , kazumasa grew bitter and resentful . especially so after learning that a drunk kogoro was the head of that very mob , at which point he decides to spend the next few years plotting revenge . conan deduces that nakaoka has installed bombs on ten stadiums , save the national stadium where he achieves his high in his soccer career , luring kogoro to touto stadium and planning commit suicide with kogoro . nakaoka points out that conan ' s deduction contains a big flaw .

enjoyment ( 5 / 10 ) : i gotta be honest . this movie was boring . all the random soccer people showing up was almost overwhelming and everything just feeling stilted made this not fun to sit through . i will give the movie credit that beginning at the first bombing action scene and going to prior to the last confrontation , it was fairly fun . but the beginning and final climax were just not as fulfilling .

the end gag about rans ' story was also just dumb . come on show , you ' ve done better .
the movie cast is also stupidly huge ( seriously ) . there are a ton of soccer player characters , and i ' m not really sure why we needed to spend time with only 2 of them for like 4 minutes at most . i guess it was to help set up the climax , but it ' s really a waste . plus half of the initial suspects just poof away after the midway point , so they were basically just there to be red herrings . ( and while that ' s normally forgivable and such , the movie tries to hold onto them far longer than needed . )

we’d love your help . let us know what’s wrong with this preview of the possessors by john christopher .
with the headline : screen : ' the possessors ' arrives ; jean gabin stars in import at the paris story of family taken from prize novel .
perhaps st . joseph and his followers were foreseeing a danger that could also spread to russia if it were not stopped . and this is probably how the conflict of the possessors and non - possessors became relevant in the struggle against heresy in the still relatively isolated northern realm . st . nilus’s disciple , vassian kosoi , came out for the confiscation of church properties and distribution of them to the people , something that prince ivan iii was inclined to support . the possessors , with st . joseph of volokolamsk at the head , stood for the principle of the immunity of church and monastery properties . they considered that church piety and tradition should have the first place , and confirmed the divine origin of princely authority and its priority in secular and ecclesiastical affairs , which ultimately assured their victory . the possessors convinced ivan iii to refuse support to the non - possessors as opponents of the strengthening of governmental authority . the council of 1503 condemned the non - possessors and supported the preservation of church landowning with the subjection of the church itself to the moscow princes . but it was not until the council of 1531 that the non - possessors suffered their final defeat .
this is a drawing of all the main characters from ' the possessors saga ' which is a six story series that i wrote . the supreme trinity are from these stories as well .
can extend spirits similar to astral forms and possess humans . however , should the human is using his own astral form , then the possessors cannot possess an
empty shell
. they have other mental powers .
the main ecclesiastical figures grappling with this problem in rus’ were : st . nilus of sora , the leader of the so - called “non - possessors” , and st . joseph of volokolamsk , the leader of the “possessors” , also called the “josephites” . it would be wrong to say that either of them set out to start conflicting movements . each was rather living out his own monastic life to the best of his ability , and in accordance with the specific needs of their respective monastic communities and the lay communities around them .
the church has not answered our question , and yet it has . nilus of sora , maxim the greek , and joseph of volokolamsk have all been canonized saints . furthermore , both spiritual leaders—st . joseph of volokolamsk , of the “possessors” , and st . nilus of sora of the “non - possessors” , left their own spiritual , social , and monastic legacies in russian orthodox church tradition . st . joseph’s most well known disciples were also canonized : st . macarius , metropolitan of moscow ,

the protestant reformation with its both anti - hesychastic and anti - monastery vein would have essentially affected both the possessors and the non - possessors had it taken root in russia . it is possible to talk to ( or persecute ) a heretic if he openly admits his beliefs . but if he is bent on taking control of an orthodox country by pretending to be orthodox , he becomes a slippery contingent , a fifth column . while the inquisition against the “judaizers” in spain was bound up with jews who had not sincerely but rather by coercion converted to christianity , the “judaizer” heresy in russia had little to do with actual ethnic jews .
i first read the possessors in august , 1980 and i really enjoyed rereading it now . it takes place at an alpine skiing chalet , an isolated hotel run by an english couple . an avalanche cuts the chalet off from the surrounding world and the completely isolated guests must endure a nightmare . one by one they become something inhuman and menacing .
the ahrc - funded research project ’prominent possessors’ is housed in the linguistics department at soas under the direction of professor irina nikolaeva as principal investigator . the project will run from october 2015 to september 2018 and include a post - doctoral research fellow andrás bárány and co - investigators at the university of surrey , professor greville corbett and dr . oliver bond ( project page at the university of surrey ) .
the persecuted church produced many martyrs , and separated the wheat from the chaff .
of the country first occupied by the europeans in this portion of the continent .
okay , so it ' s a well - worn scenario . trapped ( in this case by an avalanche ) and facing something nasty which picks off the group one by one . john christopher has always been a favourite sci - fi author of mine and i think this book illustrates why . as the situation develops the realisation amongst the protagonists that something dangerous is unfolding lags tantalisingly behind the reality that the human race is truly under threat . small talk , flirting , alcohol , disputes - all the minutiae of human interaction continue almost to the end and in the meantime the possessors draw their plans to infect the rest . i have two minor disappointments . first , the denouement is a slight fizzle - out . it could have been drawn right to the wire . the second is that i do seriously think that this book would work better if we were not told by the narrator about the origin of the possessors , but were left to work it out for ourselves , in the way the characters trapped by the avalanche have to . but an excellent read !
ο τζον κρίστοφερ , συγγραφέας του βιβλίου , είναι κυρίως γνωστός στο εξωτερικό για τα βιβλία της εφηβικής σειράς επιστημονικής φαντασίας the tripods ( η τριλογία έχει μεταφραστεί στα ελληνικά ) , της εφηβικής σειράς φαντασίας the sword of the spirits και του δυστοπικού / μετά - αποκαλυπτικού the death of grass , που είναι από τα κλασικότερα βιβλία της κατηγορίας του . το οι δαίμονες , που ο τίτλος στο πρωτότυπο είναι the possessors και όχι the devils , όπως λανθασμένα αναφέρεται στην έκδοση του κάκτου , δεν ε
at the council in moscow in 1503 , st . nilus insisted that monasteries should limit themselves to their own necessities and not acquire large agricultural territories with villages and peasants . ( this was during the time of serfdom in russia , when peasants were unpaid workers attached to the land . ) the example of st . sergius and many other ancient russian ascetics spoke in favor of this . the “non - possessors” highly valued christian education and preserved fidelity to the ancient christian and byzantine heritage and the spirituality of st . sergius better than the josephites .
the non - possessors’ inward - looking asceticism naturally set them against any violent means of dealing with sectarians , and they favored education and enlightenment . they insisted that heretics must not be tortured or executed but rather persuaded by knowledge and example to come to the true faith . but when the “judaizer” heresy began to penetrate the prince’s court and threatened to influence policy , st . joseph’s followers took a more head - on approach .
the principle of the possessors prevailed in russia until the time of empress catherine the great , who reigned from 1762–1796 . although the german - born empress catherine accepted orthodoxy as required , her mentality concerning monasteries remained decidedly western and protestant , or more precisely , irreligious . under her leadership , the church’s lands were confiscated , and the budget of both monasteries and bishoprics were taken under government control . endowments from the government replaced income from privately held lands . the endowments were often much less than the original intended amount . she closed 569 out of 954 monasteries and only 161 got government money . only 400 , 000 rubles of church wealth was paid back .
i’ve read a number of john christopher’s works over the years ; apart from the wonderful tripod series of books , i have thoroughly enjoyed a wrinkle in the skin , and the death of grass . i was delighted to get hold of a copy of this book , the possessors . first published in 1964 this book is , like all christopher’s works , classic sci - fi . it’s about people and their reactions to circumstances beyond the norm , and the breakdown of individuals and society , and the ‘human’ response to ‘alien’ influences of whatever kind . this book takes a great perspective on the story , with chapters being written from the perspective of an individual character in the story . as the cast of the story is small , this allows the reader to ‘see’ the action through the characters and emotional and logical responses of individuals who are being directly affected . the story is set high in the swiss mountains . after a prologue about “the possessors” we move directly to earth , where a group is gathered for a skiing holiday at a privately owned lodge . the two owners and their guests are the only characters in the book . when a tragic accident appears to befall one of the guests , they are all shocked and horrified . but a snowstorm has blocked them off from the outside world , and it may be several days before they can get assistance or make any contact with anybody else . and in the meantime , something doesn’t feel right about the guest’s death … classic , spooky , edge of the seat psychological stuff , this is a great read , and thoroughly recommended to anyone who enjoys christopher’s works , or just likes classic sci - fi .
the possessors were an alien race from another dimension discovered by dr . strange . they had possessed parts of the population of a village in the bavarian alps . when they discovered that strange could expose them , one of them tried to possess him , but he was not able to control strange ' s body . capturing the alien , strange learned that they had entered the village as a test to see if the could take control of the entire planet . after strange defeated their leader in a contest of mental strength , they returned to their own dimension ; then strange blocked their access to earth .

† december 31 , 1563 . st . macarius of moscow presided over a great number of important decisions concerning russian ecclesiastical practice , and authored numerous important works . the stoglav council was called during his time as metropolitan . st . macarius sided with the possessors in council debates on the subject , but was himself known by all to be a great ascetic . he also goes down in history as the spiritual father of ivan the terrible in the latter ' s early , pious days . it is recorded that st . macarius foresaw tsar ivan vasileivich’s victory in kazan , but also the terrible bloodshed to come in his reign—the oprichnina formed after st . macarius’s death .
the demon legion possessed the body of katy milner and attacked the ghost rider . it was defeated by the ghost rider and daimon hellstrom . [ 2 ]
also supporting the non - possessors was st . maxim the greek ( 1480 - 1556 ) , who was invited to moscow from vatopedi monastery on mt . athos to translate and correct ecclesiasticl texts . maxim the greek ( michael tivoulis in the world ) was a learned monk who received his education from the italian humanists , and became friends with the scholastic girolamo savonarola , a dominican friar . the dominicans , like the franciscans , were also trying at that time to reform the church in the west with a return the gospel poverty . savonarola was a vocal critic of the excesses of the clergy at the time , and was eventually put to death . michael became an ascetic under his influence , then left italy for mt . athos , where he was given the monastic name maxim . maxim’s formation made him naturally lean toward st . nilus’s school . he also suffered persecution for his convictions , and was imprisoned at volokolamsk monastery , where he nevertheless fruitfully produced many instructive texts .
the possessor lord showed the ability to create a personal shield around his body .
do you absolutely love that feeling that you have found an undiscovered gem ? john christopher is just such a writer , and a british one at that , a diamond in the rough . at first his writing seems ordinary and unimpressive , but within three pages you are hooked . the possessors isn ' t the best of his books and deals with what is now an old idea - an alien being infecting and controlling people - but as the book progresses and the people staying in the snowbound holiday chalet in switzerland start getting picked off one by one you can ' t help but listen to the howling of the wind outside , or look out the window to see if a face with dead eyes is staring back in at you . draw the curtains , extinguish all the lights except one reading lamp and delight in this good old fashion chiller .
the french writer was one of the last links with de gaulle ' s government of exiled fugitives from the vichy administration .
well - written sci - fi potboilers by authors like john christopher , john wyndham or stephen king are my literary comfort food . sometimes you’ve had enough of multi - generational american family sagas or wwii - set booker nominees . sometimes you’re a bit overstuffed with beautiful prose that effortlessly reveals deep aspects of the human condition . sometimes you just want to read an old paperback thriller about an isolated group of people facing an alien threat . the possessors is set in a british - run ho
these secular reforms also had far - reaching effects , and inexorably led to the one of the cruelest persecutions of all times against the church—the bolshevik revolution and its ideology of militant atheism , because the constructive interrelationship between clergy and the laity had been undermined .
the st . nilus of sora hermitage - - made a psychiatric institution by the communists .
he reasoned that in order to do this , the monasteries must be strong and wealthy , that their lands should be vast and in excellent condition , so that the suffering population would always find in these monasteries both spiritual support and material help . for their tenacious and systematic work for the creation of wealthy and strong monasteries , st . joseph and his followers received the name , “possessors” ( or more accurately , “acquirers” ) . in the life of st . joseph we read , for example , that during a famine his monastery fed up to seven thousand of the needy . st . joseph himself cherished the opportunity to relieve the suffering of the poor , and considered that god visited his monastery in the guise of the needy . he rebuked any monks who feared for themselves and who thought that the monastery would soon lack what it needed to feed its own monks . st . joseph founded schools for homeless children , almshouses for the aged , shelters and hospitals for the sick and impoverished . he was stern and authoritative with regard to secular landowners who did not help the poor during a famine that threatened their very lives , and he exhorted the prince to live in accordance with god’s will and keep the benefit of all his subjects , from the little to the great , first in mind . st . joseph and his disciples therefore earned respect and trust from all different levels of russian society . he taught that the country’s leader commits a grave sin if he does not think about the good of the church and the welfare of the people .
as head of the academie francaise , the sacred custodian of the french language , he approved the passage of scores of english words - - such as
tweed
and the golf term
birdie
- - into french .
les rois maudits ( the accursed kings ) was one of the few works of contemporary western literature to be published in russian in the soviet union in the 1960s . thus , the playful , arch - conservative maurice druon , not the dour and radical jean - paul sartre or albert camus , became the voice of france to russian bibliophiles , including the young vladimir putin .
a growing body of evidence demonstrates that in some languages the possessor which remains internal to the possessive construction has a greater deal of syntactic ' prominence ' than typically encountered . contrary to what is usually expected , when both possessor and possessed are part of the same syntactic phrase , the grammatical properties of the possessor ( and not the possessed item ) are relevant for syntactic processes such as agreement with the verb . another relevant syntactic process is switch - reference : a special type of marking indicating that the subjects of the two clauses refer to the same entity . it typically targets the head of the possessive phrase , but in some languages switch - reference marking indicates that the possessor within the subject phrase of one clause is interpreted as referring to the same entity as the subject of the second clause .
it is clear that st . nilus of sora and the non - possessors were the more crystal - pure examples of gospel guilelessness , monastic dispassion and poverty . his diligent labors in the field of orthodox literature were necessary and of enduring value . but it is also clear that st . nilus would not have been able to counteract this new , covertly - spreading tendency from his enclosure in northern wilds of sora . st . joseph of volokolamsk , located not far from moscow , was in the right position to play this decisive role in russian history . some say that st . joseph’s view of the untouchable authority of princes may have led to the excesses of ivan the terrible and his “ophrichnina” , but this is hard if not impossible to prove . ivan the terrible was a sick man , and he is not the only tyrant in history , before or after st . joseph of volokolamsk .
although a passionate conservative , obsessed with the dangers of cultural decline , druon was not utterly blind to modernity . he praised the
poetry
of the french rapper mc solaar and created an internet site for the académie , the institution which has defended the french language , and its own prerogatives , since the late - 17th century .
historians diverge on how far the song ever became a popular ditty with the soldiers of the maquis , but the whispering of its first words
amis , entends - tu
became an unofficial password of the resistance in 1943 - 44 .
the closure of seminaries attached to monasteries made it very difficult to provide quality education to the clergy .
in southern france , the spread of catharism , which also had its roots in the bogomils , instigated the use of inquisition as a means of rooting out heresy . as we know , this escalated into the spanish inquisition , which took the practice to an infamous extreme .
in the 1930’s , the russian and ukrainian heartland was suffering a terrible famine ; most evidence shows that it was man - made by the soviet government to force collectivization . church property , including communion chalices and other church utensils were confiscated under the pretext of relieving the famine . the church was already active in charitable assistance , but indeed feeding the people was not what the authorities were after . they needed to sell these sacred valuables to western buyers to finance communist policies . thus , government money gained from liquidated church assets rarely goes to the poor , and the church is a better distributor of these assets than the state .
as a successful post - war literary figure , druon ' s best known work was the six volumes of les rois maudits , a saga of the poisonous , political and romantic intrigues at the french and english courts just before the hundred years ' war . like the 19th century historical novelist alexandre dumas , druon was partially the author and partially the editor , using a
workshop
of writers to pen the mammoth series from 1955 to 1960 . unlike dumas , druon gave generous credit to the others ' efforts .
maurice druon ' s best - known achievement for de gaulle ' s free french was to have written in 1943 , jointly with his uncle joseph kessel , the words of the
chant des partisans
, the would - be
la marseillaise
of the french resistance movement (
friend , do you hear the flight of the black crows over our plains ?
) . the song was frequently broadcast to france by the bbc during the war and has been recorded since by , amongst others , johnny hallyday .
mr . druon remained a lifelong defender of all things british , in 1972 taking charge of the government campaign to persuade the french to let britain into the european economic community .
and a possessed ( possessum , possessee ) , for the expression of which there is a diverse inventory of means in the language systems of the world ( broschart 2001 ) .
archbishop gennady of novgorod set out to stop these intrigues that would be so damaging to the nation and the church if allowed to spread . he began sending letters to other hierarchs warning them of the danger , and finally succeeded in calling a council and having the novgorod judaizers condemned . russia did not take the lead of the spanish inquisitors at that time—the heretics were imprisoned and not executed . but the spread of the heresy to the prince’s court proved to be beyond archbishop gennady’s powers . his main argument was that schools should be opened in moscow to raise the education level of the faithful , for the learned foreigners were usually able to out - talk the simple orthodox believers who mainly followed their hearts , and thus succeeded in bringing some to doubt . but archbishop gennady was not successful in this endeavor , due to political inertia .
it began in novgorod , where some of the clergy had fallen under the influence of a doctor named zachary and his followers , two members of the court of the lithuanian - russian prince alexander olelkovina , who had arrived from the west . these new arrivals followed a modernized form of judaism , and were highly educated . flattered by the attention of erudite foreigners , and disillusioned by the ignorant state of much of the russian orthodox clergy at the time , an unorganized conspiracy arose in novgorod , which , although put down by prince ivan iii from moscow , continued to act through intrigue until it reached the kremlin . eventually two of the conspirators were able to gain favor with the prince by not revealing their entire abandonment of orthodoxy ; they had in fact denied the divinity of jesus christ , blasphemed his name , mocked the veneration of the mother of god , christian spiritual practices , monasticism , and icons , and accused the orthodox hierarchs and monks of barbarity . joining them in moscow was the prince’s scribe , feodor kuritsyn , a foreign minister who had brought back from hungary a doctrine which denied the orthodox teaching on the holy trinity .

northern boulevard and rehabilitation of tirana river , phase i of

once the soviet government fell and the church was again free , believers rushed to rebuild what they had lost . had they not lost it , their resources could have gone to other charitable causes . that the people rushed to rebuild , first of all , their beloved churches can be taken as proof of christ’s words that the gates of hell shall not prevail against the church , which ever exists in the hearts of the faithful .
in 1980 , before he became the academy secretary , he fought a vituperative battle to prevent the novelist marguerite yourcenar from becoming the first woman to wear the traditional green uniform of france ' s literary warriors . if she were elected , he claimed , the academy would fill up with women
doing their knitting
.
this isolated tale of an alien presence settling in among a group of snowbound travelers is notable for its setting and the unease that develops between the strangers trapped together . clearly an influence for the notably bad film
the crawling eye
, which borrows heavily from the book but replaces the body - hopping outsider with ridiculous eye monsters . a good escapist read with some strong characterisation .
therefore , the orthodox church apparently has not chosen one saint’s movement over the other , and some sources show that st . nilus and st . joseph held each other in the highest esteem .
the conservative newspaper le figaro devoted a two - page spread to the
lord of literature ,
and the liberal liberation painted him as an
old reactionary
redeemed by his youthful exploits .
after the war , he built a rich career as a writer of historical novels , including
les rois maudits ,
or
the accursed kings ,
and won france ' s top literary prize , the goncourt , in 1948 . he served as culture minister in the 1970s and as head of the prestigious academie francaise .

under the conditions existing in rus’ at the time , monasteries were often granted large agricultural territories , along with the peasants living on these lands , so that the monasteries could be self - sufficient . as a result , the monasteries came to possess such wealth as to exceed many times over what was reasonably necessary to the monks’ own life . this was happening already during the time of st . savva of storozhev and st . cyril of white lake , but these abbots were able to combine their own personal sanctity with the economic success of their monasteries . these capable economic administrators and strong organizers had the means to support the impoverished strata of the population , and they highly valued these possibilities . meanwhile , those who inclined more to the spirit of st . sergius’ poverty looked on in dismay , and preferred to refrain from any property ownership—individual or collective . a conflict arose between the two sides , which had far - reaching consequences for the entire russian church .

in switzerland , too , monasteries came under threat . in 1523 the government of the city - state of zurich pressured nuns to leave their monasteries and marry , and followed up the next year by dissolving all monasteries in its territory , under the pretext of using their revenues to fund education and help the poor . the city of basel followed suit in 1529 and geneva adopted the same policy in 1530 . an attempt was also made in 1530 to dissolve the famous abbey of st . gall , which was a state of the holy roman empire in its own right , but this failed , and st . gall has survived .
the lack of religious education did not eradicate religion , but it did enable the spread of anti - social religious movements—interest in the occult grew in the soviet union as people sought for something outside the material world . moral standards declined across society , and some problems that developed under communist rule have not been easy to solve , to put it mildly .
st . joseph of volokolamsk was the disciple of a disciple of st . sergius , st . paphnuty of borov ( †1477 ) . st . joseph was an austere and strict abbot , a warrior for the good of the church , the orthodox people , and the country . he was destined to labor during this complex time , when the spiritual foundations laid by st . sergius for the coenobitic monastic life had weakened . st . joseph opposed this tendency through strict discipline and order . his main written work ,
druon , the illegitimate son of a russian - jewish actor , was best known in his later years as a defender of the purity of the french language ( amongst other lost causes ) . despite his vociferous defence of french , he kept from his wartime experiences on de gaulle ' s staff in london an uncompromising love of britain and of the english language . in his 80s , he wrote essays arguing that the global spread of approximate english was not just a menace to the
language of molière
. it also threatened to destroy the beauty of the
language of shakespeare
.
the late fifteenth , early sixteenth centuries saw a conflict arise in russia that had some parallels to events and movements in western christianity of the time . as the spanish inquisition was in full swing against insincere converts to christianity , and the dissolution of monastery property was successfully killing catholic monasticism in some northern european countries , the existential question of “to have or not to have” was reaching like an aftershock the comparatively sheltered religious life of orthodox russia . those asking this question in the realm of rus’ found themselves also inescapably defending their own views on the problem of insincere christians and their role in politics .

† december 4 , 1563 . st . gurius was a nobleman from radonezh , who became a monk in the monastery of volokolamsk and was eventually made its abbot . after his transfer to selizharov monastery he was appointed the archbishop of the newly - formed kazan diocese . st . gurius was very active there in the formation christian educational institutions . he raised the spiritual level of the orthodox , and brought many pagans to the faith . he was also successful in bringing a large number of local muslim tatars voluntarily into the orthodox church . in 1595 , st . gurius’s relics were found exuding myrrh , and many miracles were wrought by them .
pugnacious , but charming , to the end , druon fought another high profile battle in 2003 . he was determined to keep the former president valéry giscard d ' estaing out of the academy . druon had never forgiven giscard , or jacques chirac , for destroying the old gaullist movement in 1974 . he described giscard d ' estaing as a
brutus , without the greatness , but with the vanity .
it was druon ' s last battle and , needless to say , he lost it .
but her anti - monastic policies were not limited to material wealth—under catherine , orthodox religious education also suffered greatly . by 1786 catherine had excluded all religion and clerical studies programs from lay education . by separating the public interests from those of the church , catherine began a secularization of the day - to - day workings of russia . she transformed the clergy from a group that wielded great power over the russian government and its people to a segregated community forced to depend on the state for compensation .

both of these schools of monastic practice lead us back to the work of the “abbot of all russia” , st . sergius of radonezh ( †1392 ) . st . sergius’ monastery grew around him , due to his hard - working , strict monastic discipline . this diligent spiritual and physical labor under severe conditions caused the monks to develop a well - functioning monastery economy in order to provide for the needs of a large brotherhood . the monks owned no property individually , but their collective labor , along with st . sergius’s own good reputation among the laity , built the foundation of what is now the great holy trinity - st . sergius lavra—a monastery incalculably dear to orthodox russian christians , and which still thrives today .

is a bright testimony to his love of god and his most pure mother , and his zeal for the orthodox faith . he was a man of great administrative talent , but at the same time , a leader of a monastic army in an uncompromising spiritual battle with sin . this battle is not for the weak or disorganized , but for the resolute and courageous ; for those who are ready to give all their time and energy to labor and prayer . the army of christ should be disciplined , prepared , decorous , well - equipped and provided with everything needed . it should , he considered , be a reliable support and protector of the struggling peasantry , and do everything it can to strengthen the sovereign authority in the country .
but we have no comment from st . maxim or st . nilus on the tendency taking hold at the time in northern europe and england to dissolve monasteries altogether and confiscate their property . there were many wars being fought in europe , and revenues needed to be found . an article in wikipedia on the dissolution of the monasteries in england and europe describes how this happened :
i lived the life of londoners - - and thence comes my immense gratitude and my deep attachment with the british people . i do not think there has ever been a people in the world who displayed a heroism as discreet , as mundane and as universal ,

as perpetual secretary of the académie française from 1985 to 1999 , he was at the forefront of battles to save french from anglicism , neologisms and revised spelling . he also defended the académie ' s tradition of interminable labour on its never - finished dictionary . asked in television interviews how the dictionary was going , he would say with a smile :

under the communists , not only the monasteries , but religion in general was liquidated . this harsh historical experience proved several things pertaining to our question , “to have , or not to have ? ”
metropolitan daniel had been a monk of the monastery in volokolamsk . he was elected abbot by the brothers of that monastery after st . joseph’s repose , and later appointed metropolitan of moscow . his time as metropolitan is not favorably remembered : he is seen as overly ambitious and too quick to take up the methods of the spanish inquisition to deal with ideological opponents . however st . joseph may have dealt with heretics , he would hardly have approved of persecuting the non - possessor monks . metropolitan daniel rapidly lost popularity after this and other political moves , and was retired to the monastery of volokolamsk .
i really liked this book . the pace is good and once it gets going you ' re kept in suspense right up until the end . i found it quite similar to the midwich cuckoos ( not a bad thing ) so if you liked that then you ' ll probably enjoy this ( and vice versa ) . i only regret not taking it with me to the alps to read on holiday !
news of these events did not take long to spread among protestant - minded ( and acquisitive ) rulers across europe , and some , particularly in scandinavia , moved very quickly . in sweden in 1527 king gustavus vasa secured an edict of the diet allowing him to confiscate any monastic lands he deemed necessary to increase royal revenues ; and to force the return of donated properties to the descendants of those who had donated them . in one fell swoop , gustav gained large estates and a company of diehard supporters . the swedish monasteries and convents were simultaneously deprived of their livelihoods , with the result that some collapsed immediately , while others lingered on for a few decades before persecution and further confiscations finally caused them all to disappear by 1580 . in denmark , king frederick i of denmark made his grab in 1528 , confiscating 15 of the houses of the wealthiest monasteries and convents . further laws under his successor over the course of the 1530s banned the friars , and forced monks and nuns to transfer title to their houses to the crown , which passed them out to supportive nobles , who were soon found enjoying the fruits of former monastic lands . danish monastic life was to vanish in a way identical to that of sweden .

i read this book as a teenager and was immediately hooked , love its old fashioned setting and even if the idea has been used a fair bit the book is paced well , beautifully written , great characters and there is a sense of fear and the possibility it might go wrong . i had empathy with the alien presence as well , its desperation for its species to survive informed all its action . i am rereading for the third time and recommend this and all his other books , i am definitely a fan .
thus , in russia two camps were forming—one more connected with the powerful of this world , poised to influence them for the greater good of an orthodox land , and the other more inward - looking , wary of owning any property at all—never mind peasants—as incompatible with monasticism , and loathe to get involved in politics .
a follower of st . joseph , would later persecute the non - possessor monasteries , even confiscating them—a rather ironic turn of events considering their extremes of non - possessiveness . however , for all the moral attractiveness of non - possessiveness it has to be admitted that if taken to an extreme it could threaten the normal functioning of the ecclesiastical and civil organism under real - life historical conditions . land holdings allowed the monasteries to conduct broad pastoral , charitable , and enlightenment activities , and were a beneficial influence upon life in society .

in 1521 , martin luther had published ' de votis monasticis ' ( ' on the monastic vows ' ) , a treatise which declared that the monastic life had no scriptural basis , was pointless and also actively immoral in that it was not compatible with the true spirit of christianity . luther also declared that monastic vows were meaningless and that no one should feel bound by them . luther , a one - time augustinian friar , found some comfort when these views had a dramatic effect : a special meeting of the german province of his order held the same year accepted them and voted that henceforth every member of the regular clergy should be free to renounce their vows , resign their offices and get married . at luther ' s home monastery in wittenberg all the friars , save one , did so .
quite old fashioned in execution but very contemporary in subject matter considering its similarities to the present day obsession with zombies and walking dead . a group of mainly english middle class professionals are trapped in a ski lodge . most of them have interesting back stories , but naturally the only working class character has a chip on his shoulder and not much in the way of a personal history , although his american wife has a very moving one . nonetheless , it ' s very readable and still has the power to , if not scare you , certainly make you nervous about those odd noises you hear at night . once the story got going i was gripped to the end . i ' ve read a few of john christopher ' s books and although the characters in this one seem dated now ( think jerry and margo from the good life ) he ' s a good enough writer for that not to matter . recommended .
