If ​the past is prologue, then George R. R. Martin’s masterwork—the most inventive and entertaining fantasy saga of our time—warrants one hell of an introduction. At long last, it has arrived with The World of Ice and Fire.

This lavishly illustrated volume is a comprehensive history of the Seven Kingdoms, providing vividly constructed accounts of the epic battles, bitter rivalries, and daring rebellions that lead to the events of A Song of Ice and Fire and HBO’s Game of Thrones. In a collaboration that’s been years in the making, Martin has teamed with Elio M. García, Jr., and Linda Antonsson, the founders of the renowned fan site Westeros.org—perhaps the only people who know this world almost as well as its visionary creator.

Collected here is all the accumulated knowledge, scholarly speculation, and inherited folk tales of maesters and septons, maegi and singers. It is a chronicle which stretches from the Dawn Age to the Age of Heroes; from the Coming of the First… (tovább)

George R. R. Martin – Elio M. García, Jr. – Linda Antonsson: The World of Ice and Fire

A könyv maga hihetetlenül igényes, tele van szebbnél szebb sokszor egész oldalas illusztrációkkal, nagyon jó kiegészítő a szöveg mellé, kifejezetten szerettem a Targaryen uralkodók és sárkányaikról készült képeket. A szöveg viszont sokszor száraz és néhány helyen unalmas, de mivel gyakorlatilag egy történelmi könyv, így inkább hajlik a tényszerűség felé, és nem számol be annyit a legendák és mítoszokról, csak amennyi feljegyzésre is került. Ami még kicsit zavaró volt számomra, hogy a szöveg betűmérete annyira pici, hogy szokszor kimerítő volt elolvasni egy-egy oldalt, ahol nem volt egyetlen illusztráció sem, és mivel nagy alakú könyv, így nemcsak rengeteg szöveg van minden oldalon, de maga a könyv is elég súlyos, nehéz volt kényelmesen olvasni :D Viszont nagyon részletesen bemutatja Westerost nem csak politikai, de földrajzi szempontból is, a kedvenc részem a Targaryen uralkodókról szóló (egyik leghosszabb) fejezet volt, hiszen gyakoraltilag ez volt a legizgalmasabb a rengeteg hódítással és háborúval, és persze sárkányokkal. A végére sajnos kicsit megfogyatkoztak az illusztrációk, és szerintem végiglapozgatni és a képekben gyönyörködni nagyobb élémény, mint végigolvasni az egész könyvet :)

It was the North and the North alone that was able to keep the Andals at bay, thanks to the impenetrable swamps of the Neck and the ancient keep of Moat Cailin. The number of Andal armies that were destroyed in the Neck cannot be easily reckoned, and so the Kings of Winter preserved their independent rule for many centuries to come.

But all the tales agree that the most common skinchangers were men who controlled wolves-even direwolves-and these had a special name among the wildlings: wargs.

Perhaps in preparation for their crossing of the narrow sea, the Valyrians also established their westernmost outpost on the isle that would come to be known as Dragonstone some two hundred years before the Doom.

Though considered disreputable in this, our present day, a fragment of Septon Barth’s Unnatural History has proved a source of controversy in the halls of the Citadel. Claiming to have consulted with texts said to be preserved at Castle Black, Septon Barth put forth that the children of the forest could speak with ravens and could make them repeat their words.

A possibility arises for a third race to have inhabited the Seven Kingdoms in the Dawn Age, but it is so speculative that it need only be dealt with briefly.
Among the ironborn, it is said that the first of the First Men to come to the Iron Isles found the famous Seastone Chair on Old Wyk, but that the isles were uninhabited. If true, the nature and origins of the chair’s makers are a mystery. Maester Kirth in his collection of ironborn legends, Songs the Drowned Men Sing, has suggested that the chair was left by visitors from across the Sunset Sea, but there is no evidence for this, only speculation.

“You may dress an ironman is silks and velvets, teach him to read and write and give him books, instruct him in chivalry and courtesy and the mysteries of the Faith,” writes Archmaester Haereg, “but when you look into his eyes, the sea will still be there, cold and grey and cruel.”

On the seventh day, a cloud of ravens burst from the towers of Dragonstone to bring Lord Aegon’s word to the Seven Kingdoms of Westeros. To the seven kings they flew, to the Citadel of Oldtown, to lords both great and small. All carried the same message: from this day forth there would be but one king in Westeros. Those who bent the knee to Aegon of House Targaryen would keep their lands and titles. Those who took up arms against him would be thrown down, humbled, and destroyed.

Accounts differ on how many swords set sail from Dragonstone with Aegon and his sisters. Some say three thousand; others number them only in the hundreds. This modest Targaryen host put ashore at the mouth of the Blackwater Rush, on the northern bank where three wooded hills rose above a small fishing village.

Rosby yielded to Rhaenys and golden-eyed Meraxes without a fight. At Stokeworth a few crossbowmen loosed bolts at Visenya, until Vhagar’s flames set the roofs of the castle keep ablaze. Then they too submitted.

At that time Duskendale was the principal Westerosi port on the narrow sea and had grown fat and wealthy from the trade that passed through its harbor. Visenya Targaryen did not allow the town to be sacked, but she did not hesitate to claim its riches, greatly swelling the coffers of the conquerors.
