Hemingway's fishing boat shares the same name with the heroine in "For Whom the Bell Tolls". Is there any reason for that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 221.221.149.239 ( talk) 03:24, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
"Pilar" was a nickname for Hemingway's wife Pauline and also the name of the woman leader of the partisan band in his 1940 novel of the Spanish Civil War, For Whom the Bell Tolls.— 107.15.157.44 ( talk) 05:46, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
I'd like to find the origin of Japanese era names. I was able to find only few of them. For example, Heisei was taken from Records of the Grand Historian and the Book of Documents, two Chinese history and philosophy books. Shōwa is from a passage of the Chinese Book of Documents. Reiwa is derived from the Man'yōshū. Thanks! -- 79.32.130.94 ( talk) 15:36, 6 April 2019 (UTC)
I'm planning to grab the premise from Three Identical Strangers and start Galland-Kellman-Shafran triplets as a standalone.
Two things:
Can anyone help?
Many thanks.
