The Driver (novel)
The Driver is a novel by American financial journalist Garet Garrett, published in 1922 by E.P. Dutton. It was first published as part of a six-part series in the Saturday Evening Post. Historical context. The protagonist, Henry M. Galt, was inspired by railroad executive E. H. Harriman. The novel was also influenced by the zeitgeist of the Gilded Age, a time of rapid industrialization, leading to the growth of corporate power. Summary. "The Driver" tells the story of brilliant financial speculator Henry M. Galt. Through his own vision and work ethic, Galt takes over the failing Great Midwestern Railroad during an economic crisis, turning it into a hugely productive and profitable asset for the benefit of himself and the rest of the nation. The novel begins against the backdrop of the panic of 1893 and the free silver movement when many real-life railroads went bankrupt. In large part due to Galt's efforts, the country's economy is restored. Galt's acquisitions and fortune continue to grow and he becomes the wealthiest person in America. Instead of celebration, there is envy and distrust among those who marvel at but fail to understand Galt's genius. His enemies, along with the federal government, set out to destroy Galt and topple the empire he has built. Possible Ayn Rand connection. Justin Raimondo observed similarities between "The Driver" and "Atlas Shrugged", a 1957 novel by Ayn Rand, which has a railroad executive as its main character and another character named John Galt.

Le Ton beau de Marot
1997 book by Douglas Hofstadter about translation
Le Ton beau de Marot: In Praise of the Music of Language is a 1997 book by Douglas Hofstadter in which he explores the meaning, strengths, failings and beauty of translation. The book is a long and detailed examination of one short translation of a minor French poem and, through that, an examination of the mysteries of translation (and indeed more generally, language and consciousness) itself. Hofstadter himself refers to it as "my ruminations on the art of translation". The title itself is a pun, revealing many of the themes of the work: "le ton beau" means ‘the beautiful tone’ or ‘the sweet tone’, but the word order is unusual for French. It would be more common to write "le beau ton". A French speaker hearing the title spoken () would be more likely to interpret it as "le tombeau de Marot"; where "tombeau" may mean ‘tomb’ (as per the cover picture), but also "tombeau", ‘a work of art (literature or music) done in memory and homage to a deceased person’ (the title is intended to parallel the title of Maurice Ravel's "Le Tombeau de Couperin"). In a further play on the title, Hofstadter refers to his deceased wife Carol, to whom the book is dedicated, as "ma rose" ("my rose"), and to himself as "ton beau" ("your dear").

Question: Who is the author of Le Ton beau de Marot?
Answer: Douglas Hofstadter, Douglas Richard Hofstadter, Douglas R. Hofstadter

Stoic ethical advice compiled by Arrian
The Enchiridion or Handbook of Epictetus (, "Enkheirídion Epiktḗtou") is a short manual of Stoic ethical advice compiled by Arrian, a 2nd-century disciple of the Greek philosopher Epictetus. Although the content is mostly derived from the "Discourses of Epictetus", it is not a summary of the "Discourses" but rather a compilation of practical precepts. Eschewing metaphysics, Arrian focuses his attention on Epictetus's work applying philosophy to daily life. Thus, the book is a manual to show the way to achieve mental freedom and happiness in all circumstances. The "Enchiridion" was well-known in the ancient world, and in the medieval period, it was specially adapted for use in Greek-speaking monasteries. In the 15th century it was translated into Latin, and then, with the advent of printing, into multiple European languages. It reached the height of popularity in the 17th century, in parallel with the Neostoicism movement. Title. The word "Enchiridion" () is an adjective meaning "in the hand" or "ready to hand". The word sometimes meant a handy sword, or dagger, but coupled with the word "book" ("biblion", ) it means a handy book or hand-book. Epictetus in the "Discourses" often speaks of principles which his pupils should have "ready to hand" (). Common English translations of the title are Manual or Handbook. Writing.

Question: Who is the author of Enchiridion of Epictetus?
Answer: Arrian, Arrian of Nicomedia, Lucius Flavius Arrianus
Mary Marston
1881 novel by George MacDonald
Mary Marston is a novel by George MacDonald. It was written in 1881 and later republished as A Daughter's Devotion. The story centres around the life of a simple merchant's daughter, the titular Mary Marston. Her unswerving commitment to love God and others is contrasted with a backdrop of an array of characters and a complex and sometimes mysterious plot. It is a religious, moral tale of a woman who loves a man and teaches him to change, not out of his love for her but simply because it is the right thing to do. The novel was written at the height of George MacDonald's literary career. MacDonald’s portrayal of the characters ranges from delightful to devious. As such, he intended them to serve as models to readers. His message is that all eventually must stand before God, reckoning with the complicated boundaries of social class and the hypocrisy of those who call themselves Christians.
