Born Free
Friederike Victoria Gessner (better known by her pen name as Joy Adamson) was an Austrian-born writer, painter and naturalist famous for her work raising and reintroducing big cats into the wild.
Briefly considering a career of a musician or a doctor at first, in 1937 Friederike was forced to migrate from turbulent Vienna into wild Kenya. Being very easy-going by nature, she made friends wherever she went. Soon enough she found herself very close to many researchers, biologists and wildlife conservators who were prominent in the area. Thus she spent her younger years as a naturalist, doing sketches and making observations on various flora and fauna.
Her greatest and most famous work was yet to come, though. When she was 42, her then-husband George Adamson, a senior wildlife caretaker, was asked to protect local farmers from a lioness that was threatening them. As it turned out later, the lioness was simply protecting her cubs from humans. After successfully fighting the lioness off, George and Friederike decided to adopt those little lions. Caring about all three of them at home proved very difficult, so the couple eventually donated two larger cubs to Rotterdam Zoo, and took the smallest one, Elsa, for themselves.
As the young lioness was growing up very fast, Friederike realised that soon they wouldn't be able to provide for her, so she decided to teach Elsa how to act on her own, hunt, and live in the wild. Taking this duty very seriously and treating Elsa as an equal rather than as a pet, Friederike managed to succeed. Roughly two years later Elsa, now a wild lioness, brought a litter of her own, and those three cubs were the first ever to be born by a domesticated lioness that was reintroduced into the wild.
This was an unprecedented story in a naturalist world, and soon enough Joy Adamson had the attention of both scientists and cinematographers. The story of Elsa was documented in her book, Born Free, that was also made into a motion picture in 1966.
Encouraged by her first successes, Joy shifted her focus to cheetahs. Using the techniques she learned with Elsa, Joy successfully reintroduced Pippa, a female cheetah, into the wild. Joy dedicated two books to Pippa and her litter, first being The Spotted Sphinx, and the second being Pippa’s Challenge. Yet another success was waiting some years later, when Joy successfully worked on a reintroduction of an African leopard named Penny.

Chaplin‘s Little Tramp is one of the most recognized (FICTION) figures ever created. The Tramp made his last (APPEAR) in a film nearly a hundred years ago, yet he is still (INSTANT) recognized and loved in almost every corner of the world. Fellini called him "a sort of Adam from whom we are all descended.
For several generations in the first half of the twentieth century — for (ART), intellectuals, and for popular audiences across the world, — Chaplin was the symbol of the little man and the oppressed masses. It was (SIGNIFICANCE) that he was the one to challenge the German Kaiser, to challenge Hitler, to challenge urbanism and automation, to challenge (TOLERANCE) and cruelty and hypocrisy. He even challenged McCarthyism.
In 1980, when the film-makers of Poland wanted a symbol for their assertion of human (LIBERAL), they found it natural to choose the figure of the Tramp.
