Guarin was a Norman from France who arrived in Italy not long before Roger was crowned king in 1130. He first appears as ''cancellarius'' (chancellor) in a diploma of 1130 and then appears in an August 1132 diploma as ''magister cancellarius'' (master chancellor).

Garin De Monglane
Garin de Monglane is a fictional aristocrat who gives his name to the second cycle of Old French '' chansons de geste'', ''La Geste de Garin de Monglane''. His cycle tells stories of fiefless lads of noble birth who went off seeking land and adventure fighting the Saracens. The several heroes who rode off seeking war and wealth in this way are given genealogies that made Garin de Monglane their common ancestor. Apart from fathering a race of landless knights, Garin de Monglane himself is a character whose portrait in the poems is otherwise drawn very sketchily. Poems belonging to the Garin cycle include the ''chansons'' of ''Girart de Vienne'', '' Aimeri de Narbonne'', and ''Guillaume''. Of these poems, ''Aimeri de Narbonne'' has the largest literary interest.

The Hyperboloid Of Engineer Garin
''The Garin Death Ray'', also known as ''The Death Box'' and ''The Hyperboloid of Engineer Garin'' (russian: Гиперболоид инженера Гарина), is a science fiction novel by the noted Russian author Aleksey Nikolayevich Tolstoy written in 1926–1927. Vladimir Nabokov, who included parodic elements in his tragicomedy ''The Waltz Invention'' (1938), considered it Tolstoy's finest fictional work. The "hyperboloid" in its title is not a geometrical surface (though it is utilized in the device design) but a "death ray"-laser-like device (thought up by the author many decades before lasers were invented) that the protagonist, engineer Garin, used to fight his enemies and try to become the dictator of the world. The idea of a "death ray" (popularized in '' The War of the Worlds'' by H. G. Wells, among others) was commonplace in science fiction of the time, but Tolstoy's version is unique for its level of technical details. "Hyperboloids" of different power capabil ...
