Casablanca - The Ultimate Trivia...

Trivia Hub

CASABLANCA
THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION
CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB
Casablanca, a 1942 American romantic drama, directed by Michael Curtiz, stars Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, and Paul Henreid. It's set during World War II, in Casablanca, where an American expatriate must choose between his love for a woman and helping her husband, a Czech resistance leader. The screenplay is based on an unproduced play called Everybody Comes to Rick's. The film's themes include love, sacrifice, and moral dilemmas. The movie is known for its memorable lines, iconic characters, and pervasive theme song, "As Time Goes By". It won three Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. It is often ranked among the greatest films in history.
CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES:
The screenplay for Casablanca was based on an unproduced play called Everybody Comes to Rick's, and the film rights were purchased for $20,000, the most anyone in Hollywood had ever paid for an unproduced play at that time. The project was then renamed Casablanca, apparently in imitation of the 1938 hit Algiers.
Despite being an A-list film with established stars, no one involved with Casablanca's production expected it to be anything special among the many pictures produced by Hollywood yearly. It was rushed into release to capitalize on publicity from the Allied invasion of North Africa.
The film's cast was notably international, with only three of the credited actors being born in the United States: Humphrey Bogart, Dooley Wilson, and Joy Page. Many of the actors were European exiles and refugees, who brought a sense of "understanding and desperation" to their roles.

Ancient China: An Enthralling...

Billy Wellman

It has become a common theme in today’s world to talk about the incredible technological and economic development of modern China. However, there are very strong historical roots to the exponential growth of modern China going back thousands and thousands of years. 
Today, people stand in awe of China’s achievements, such as lifting hundreds of millions of people from poverty or becoming a global power. But have you ever wondered how the ancient people from the Far East developed so much while being virtually independent of other civilizations? 
Not everything in China’s history is tied to growth, improvement, and development. There were many periods riddled with internal strife, which plagued China and its numerous dynasties. However, the Chinese empires were somewhat shielded from external dangers, partially thanks to the ingeniousness of the Chinese and the famous Great Wall of China and partially thanks to the country’s geographic position. 
In this audiobook, we look into how and why the historical pendulum of China sometimes turned one way and then the other. Discover the following about ancient China:The deep, virtually unfathomable paleolithic roots of Chinese civilization;Neolithic China and the formation of the Yellow River and Yangtze settlements;The Age of Metal in China, a glorious but increasingly violent period that resulted in the emergence of the first hegemons in China;The mythical Xia dynasty and its fantastic Yu the Great, credited with taming the Yellow River;The birth of China’s fascinating writing system during the Shang dynasty;The rise of the Zhou, who finally overthrew the Shang, thanks to their military prowess and ability to keep numerous Chinese states tied in a loose feudal system;And so much more!

Understanding Human Metabolism

Keith N. Frayn

Does eating more carbohydrates, or fats, cause one to put on more weight? Are ketone bodies toxins or vital products that keep us alive during starvation? Does the concept of 'fat-burning exercise' hold true? In this game-changing book, Keith Frayn, an international expert in human metabolism and nutrition, dispels common misconceptions about human metabolism, explaining in everyday language the important metabolic processes that underlie all aspects of our daily lives. Frayn describes the communication systems that enable our different organs and tissues to cooperate, for instance in providing fuel to our muscles when we exercise, and in preserving our tissues during fasting. He explores the impressive adaptability of human metabolism and discusses the metabolic disorders that can arise when metabolism 'goes wrong'. For anyone skeptical of information about diet and lifestyle, this concise book guides the listener through what metabolism really involves.
