1. Mario Puzo's most famous novel is "The Godfather" 1969. He was also a writer of short stories but had four novels published before "The Godfather". Can you name the first novel he had published in 1955 taking place in Germany, post WWII?

From Quiz
They Wrote 'em and We Read 'em: Part III

Answer: The Dark Arena

"The Dark Arena" follows the story of an American WWII veteran who returns to Germany after the war in order to find his girlfriend, Hella. Puzo drew on his experiences of Germany as he had been stationed there in the US Army Air Force during WWII. Mario Puzo (1920-1999) wrote "The Fortunate Pilgrim" (1965), "The Runaway Summer of Davie Shaw" (1966) and "Six Graves of Munich" (1967) the latter under the name of Mario Cleri. Puzo considered "The Fortunate Pilgrim" as his finest work and this novel was the birthplace of "The Godfather".

2. Who wrote "The Adventures of Pinocchio" which was published 1883?

From Quiz They Wrote 'em and We Read 'em: Part II

Answer: Carlo Collodi

Carlo Lorenzini (1826-1890), better known as Carlo Collodi was an Italian children's writer. "The Adventures of Pinocchio" was originally in a serial form in 1881-82 but was then published as a book in 1883. Sadly, Collodi died before his popularity spread when the book was translated into English in 1892. Grazia Deledda (1871-1936) was the first Italian woman to receive the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1926. Corin Tellado (1927-2009) was a prolific Spanish writer of romantic novels and she had over 4,000 books published and many were best-sellers in Spanish-speaking countries, selling over 400 million books. Antoine de Saint-Exupery (1900-1944) was a French aristocrat, poet, writer and aviator. He is best remembered for his novel "The Little Prince". He joined the Free French Air Force in North Africa during WWII and his plane disappeared over the Mediterranean Sea in July 1944.

3. Charles Dickens is regarded as one of the greatest character creators in English literature. In which novel did we find the wicked character, Uriah Heep?

From Quiz They Wrote 'em and We Read 'em: Part I

Answer: David Copperfield

Charles John Huffam Dickens (1812-1870) had "David Copperfield" published as a book in 1850, yet it had previously appeared as a serial in 1849-50. Uriah Heep is motivated by greed and is the main antagonist in the second part of the novel. He professed to be humble but his wicked and twisted character eventually saw him imprisoned. In 1969 around Christmas time there was great coverage of 1970 being the 100th Anniversary of the death of Charles Dickens. A heavy metal band called Spice decided to change their name to Uriah Heep, taken from the novel David Copperfield. The Uriah Heep band became one of the most popular rock bands of the 1970s along with Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Black Sabbath.

4. American novelist and short story writer Stephen King has provided chills and adventure, often with a touch of the paranormal, since the 1960s. Many of his books are set in his home state. Which is that?

Answer: Maine

Three made-up Maine towns that appear in several works are Castle Rock ("Cujo", "The Dark Half", "Needful Things"), Jerusalem's Lot ("Salem's Lot", "Doctor Sleep") and Derry ("It", "Dreamcatcher", "11/22/63"). Another example of a fictitious Maine town is Chester's Mill, isolated from the rest of the world in "Under the Dome".

5. Which poet is remembered for three major works of Latin literature, the "Eclogues" (or Bucolics), the "Georgics" and the epic "Aeneid"?

From Quiz All About the Writer

Answer: Virgil

He was born Publius Vergilius Maro in 70 B.C. in the commune since named for him (Virgilio) in what is now the Lombardy region of northern Italy. Ranked as one of the most important poets of all time, he lived and worked during the Augustan period of ancient Roman literature. Based on Homer's famous epic poems of seven centuries earlier, the "Aeneid" follows the journey of Aeneas, a Trojan refugee. Virgil's influence on more recent Western literature is illustrated in Dante's "Divine Comedy", in which he acts as Dante's guide through the levels of hell and purgatory.

6. Geoffrey Chaucer wrote the "Canterbury Tales" in the late thirteenth century. In the "Pardoner's Tale" three young disreputable men who set out to kill what spiritual entity?

From Quiz Short and Sweet Two

Answer: Death

An old man directs them to where they can find Death. Instead they find a treasure and, ironically, Death. A group of pilgrims are traveling to Canterbury and on the way regale each other with stories. The pardoner is the classic hypocrite of literature who sells pig bones that he claims are from the body of saints. His tale is told with great emphasis on morals and biblical references. Chaucer wrote in middle English thus the spellings and pronunciations are obscure but there are many up-dated versions available. The 1948 film with Walter Huston and Humphrey Bogart "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" is a modern film adaptation of the "The Pardoner's Tale".

7. After biting into a madeleine, the narrator of which series of novels perplexed readers with intricate descriptions of his memories?

From Quiz Brain Pain: Books that Hurt

Answer: "In Search of Lost Time"

Marcel Proust proved that you can paint a picture with a thousand words, and he was supremely talented at it. His semi-autobiographical series is widely regarded as one of the most difficult series in all of literature. It touches on themes of involuntary memory, the nature of art, and the bitterness of love. Ironically, not a single publisher wanted to print the first volume*, so he did it with his own money. After he won the Prix Goncourt in 1919 for his work on the second volume, Proust became world famous and was treasured as one of the greatest writers of his age. *The first volume is "Swann's Way" and the second is "Within a Budding Grove".

8. Which writer wrote about "Coming of Age in Samoa" while "Growing Up In New Guinea"?

This was at a time before computers and television made this information accessible and at a time when even openly discussing many of these issues was taboo.

From Quiz A Remembrance of Books Past

Answer: Morton Thompson

I loved this book as I have always had a fascination with the study of medicine. I also loved its setting which begins in the early 20th century, when the protagonist, young Lucas Marsh, accompanies the local doctor in his buggy as he makes house-calls. The love of the profession of medicine corrupts Lucas's character as he uses anyone and anything to be a successful doctor. One of the other reasons I included this novel is that it depicts an era in medicine which is not familiar today. House calls anyone?

20. This book shocked readers when it was originally published in 1955. It tells of a middle-aged man's passion for his pubescent stepdaughter. What was it called and who wrote it?

From Quiz Whose Plot Is It Anyway?

Answer: "Lolita" by Vladimir Nabokov

"Lolita" was shocking to the readers of the 1950s. Its themes of sexual deviance and murder could have damned this book into obscurity, but it survived and emerged as a classic. It showcases some of Nabokov's best work; his poetic prose and his ability to place humanity under the harshest of scrutiny.

21. If a sequel were to be made, Snowball might return and overthrow Napoleon. The rules would be restored to normal, and the tower would be a huge success. Who wrote the original?

From Quiz The Well of Lost Plots

Answer: George Orwell

George Orwell wrote "Animal Farm" in 1945. It is about farm animals who run the humans off the farm. Snowball is a pig who ruled for a time, and the farm was very prosperous and happy. Then Napoleon ran Snowball off the farm and began to rule the animals in much the same way as the humans had. The animals, however, did not realize how horrible a ruler Napoleon was. If Orwell had written a sequel, no doubt Snowball would have come back to make their lives much better for the animals!
