« James Hibberd a couvert Game of Thrones du début à la fin et il sait où sont cachés les corps. Tout est là : comment la série a commencé, comment elle a pris fin, les dragons et les loups géants, ce qu’il s’est passé face caméra et dans les coulisses, les réussites et les faux pas, les décisions qui ont été difficiles à prendre, les chemins détournés qu’il a fallu emprunter et pourquoi. Les acteurs, les créateurs de la série, les réalisateurs, les producteurs, même moi... Le Feu ne tue pas un dragon contient tout ce que vous avez toujours voulu savoir. Game of Thrones a été une aventure incroyable. Le Feu ne tue pas un dragon est un livre incroyable. » George R.R. Martin Tout le monde pensait que c’était impossible. Même l’auteur de la saga littéraire du Trône de Fer, George R.R. Martin, n’imaginait pas que ses romans seraient adaptés à l’écran. Pourtant, un jour, le duo composé de D.B. Weiss et David Benioff propose de créer une série TV tirée des best-sellers. Nous connaissons la suite : huit saisons de la plus grande série TV de tous les temps. Mais nous ignorions jusqu’alors tout des coulisses de ces treize années de...

Une histoire de feu et de sang. Le Moyen Âge de Game of Thrones

Autor: Florian Besson , Justine Breton

Número de Páginas: 278

Série de tous les records, Game of Thrones met en scène un Moyen Âge à la fois fictif et largement inspiré de faits et de personnages historiques, de thématiques politiques, sociales ou religieuses bien réelles. Ce Moyen Âge imaginaire, sombre et tragique, véritable envers de la civilisation, est bien éloigné de la réalité historique qu’étudient les médiévistes. Car la série ne décrit pas tant le Moyen Âge lui-même que la façon dont nous imaginons aujourd’hui cette période, en lien avec nos fantasmes, nos craintes et nos désirs les plus actuels. C’est ce rapport à l’histoire, à ce que nous pensons être la marche de l’histoire, les passions qui la nourrissent, les pulsions secrètes qui la motivent, hier comme aujourd’hui, que ce livre tente de mettre au jour. Le Moyen Âge apparaît alors comme l’envers effrayant et fantasmé de la civilisation, la face sombre de l’histoire.

Juego de tronos y la filosofía

Autor: Henry Jacoby , William Irwin

Número de Páginas: 299

La lógica es más afilada que las espadas. Se acerca la casa del dragón. Todo lo que siempre has querido saber sobre Juego de tronos, el maravilloso universo creado por R.R. Martin. ¿Son el honor y la verdad necesarios para conseguir la felicidad, o bien nos impiden llegar a ella? ¿Pueden los huargos y otras criaturas fantásticas revelarnos las verdades sobre nuestra conciencia y nuestra realidad? ¿La profecía nos demuestra que somos meros peones del destino o bien que somos libres de vivir una vida auténtica? Si las series de televisión son ideales para el análisis filosófico, Juego de tronos lo es por partida doble. En Westeros y más allá del Mar Angosto, el mundo de George R.R. Martin está repleto de docenas de personajes complejos en conflicto con ellos mismos y en lucha con otros, dudando de sí mismos, abocados al riesgo moral, al engaño, a la incertidumbre, a la arrogancia y a la agitación social y política. Mientras los Siete Reinos están en guerra, más allá del Muro, los horrores del invierno se acercan. Muy lejos, una joven reina lucha con su destino mientras viaja para recuperar su hogar. Todo esto es sabido, pero esta guía perspicaz se basa en las...

L'univers impitoyable de Game of Thrones

Autor: Nicolas Allard

Número de Páginas: 240

Game of Thrones, série de romans écrits par George R. R. Martin, puis adaptation en série TV, est l’un des plus gros succès de « pop culture » de ces dernières années. Se référant tout autant aux livres qu’à leur adaptation télévisée, cet essai décrypte et analyse les thèmes centraux de la saga. Il aborde tour à tour les personnages (dont il évoque le foisonnement, la variété et les évolutions), les réflexions philosophico-politiques, l'univers fantastique et épique fascinant, l'intrigue complexe et le contexte culturel. Il traite en outre de l'expérience inédite du « lecteur/spectateur » (le spectateur se tourne vers les livres pour connaître les détails de l'histoire, et le lecteur vers la série pour en connaître le dénouement), en confrontant les livres et la série télévisée. L'ouvrage tente enfin d’expliquer les raisons du succès transgénérationnel de cette œuvre mondialement plébiscitée.

Game of Thrones versus History

Autor: Brian A. Pavlac

Número de Páginas: 312

Since it first aired in 2011, Game of Thrones galloped up the ratings to become the most watched show in HBO’s history. It is no secret that creator George R.R. Martin was inspired by late 15th century Europe when writing A Song of Ice and Fire, the sprawling saga on which the show is based. Aside from the fantastical elements, Game of Thrones really does mirror historic events and bloody battles of medieval times—but how closely? Game of Thrones versus History: Written in Blood is a collection of thought-provoking essays by medieval historians who explore how the enormously popular HBO series and fantasy literature of George R. R. Martin are both informed by and differ significantly from real historical figures, events, beliefs, and practices of the medieval world. From a variety of perspectives, the authors delve into Martin’s plots, characterizations, and settings, offering insights into whether his creations are historical possibilities or pure flights of fantasy. Topics include the Wars of the Roses, barbarian colonizers, sieges and the nature of medieval warfare, women and agency, slavery, celibate societies in Westeros, myths and legends of medieval Europe, and many...

Such is the stern motto of House Stark, the northernmost of the fiefdoms that owe allegiance to King Robert Baratheon in far-off King’s Landing. There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert’s name. There his family dwells in peace and comfort: his proud wife, Catelyn; his sons Robb, Brandon, and Rickon; his daughters Sansa and Arya; and his bastard son, Jon Snow. Far to the north, behind the towering Wall, lie savage Wildings and worse—unnatural things relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer, but proving all too real and all too deadly in the turning of the season. Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances. Now Robert is riding north to Winterfell, bringing his queen, the lovely but cold Cersei, his son, the cruel, vainglorious Prince Joffrey, and the queen’s brothers Jaime and Tyrion of the powerful and wealthy House Lannister—the first a swordsman without equal, the second a dwarf whose stunted stature belies a brilliant mind. All are heading for Winterfell...

Women in Game of Thrones

Autor: Valerie Estelle Frankel

Número de Páginas: 215

Game of Thrones, one of the hottest series on television, leaves hundreds of critics divided on how "feminist" the show really is. Certainly the female characters, strong and weak, embody a variety of archetypes--widow queens, warrior women, damsels in distress, career women, priestesses, crones, mothers and maidens. However, the problem is that most of them play a single role without nuance--even the "strong women" have little to do besides strut about as one-note characters. This book analyzes the women and their portrayals one by one, along with their historical inspirations. Accompanying issues in television studies also appear, from the male gaze to depiction of race. How these characters are treated in the series and how they treat themselves becomes central, as many strip for the pleasure of men or are sacrificed as pawns. Some nude scenes or moments of male violence are fetishized and filmed to tantalize, while others show the women's trauma and attempt to identify with the scene's female perspective. The key is whether the characters break out of their traditional roles and become multidimensional.

Winter is coming. Every Sunday night, millions of fans gather around their televisions to take in the spectacle that is a new episode of Game of Thrones. Much is made of who will be gruesomely murdered each week on the hit show, though sometimes the question really is who won’t die a fiery death. The show, based on the Song of Ice and Fire series written by George R. R. Martin, is a truly global phenomenon. With the seventh season of the HBO series in production, Game of Thrones has been nominated for multiple awards, its cast has been catapulted to celebrity and references to it proliferate throughout popular culture. Often positioned as the grittier antithesis to J. R. R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, Martin’s narrative focuses on the darker side of chivalry and heroism, stripping away these higher ideals to reveal the greed, amorality and lust for power underpinning them.

Re-reading A GAME OF THRONES

Autor: Remy J. Verhoeve

Número de Páginas: 372

In 1996, George R.R. Martin electrified fantasy fans around the world when he published A Game of Thrones, the first book in his acclaimed A Song of Ice and Fire series. Since then, Martin has published three more books in the series. The engrossing tale Martin spun with these first novels in his saga has gained more and more fans across the world and has resulted in a number of spin-off products, such including HBO's TV series, card and board games, computer games, sword replicas, comic books and calendars. Perhaps paradoxically, the number of years between each time Martin publishes a new book in the series has increased. Fans have been clamoring for the fifth volume, A Dance with Dragons, since 2005: A book that promises to pick up the storylines of fan-favorite characters left hanging since 1999. As Martin struggles to reach the finish line, or indeed even the halfway point in his epic, his fans wait for the next fix.

Con Juego de Tronos George R. R. Martin ha creado una obra maestra, ofreciendo todos los mejores aspectos del género. Misterio, intriga, romance y aventura llenan las páginas de este primer volumen de la monumental saga Canción de hielo y fuego, transportando al lector a un mundo como ningún otro. En el legendario mundo de los Siete Reinos, donde el verano puede durar décadas y el invierno toda una vida, y donde rastros de una magia primitiva surgen en los rincones más sombríos, la tierra del norte, Invernalia, está protegida por un colosal muro de hielo que detiene a fuerzas oscuras y sobrenaturales. En este majestuoso escenario, lord Stark y su familia se encuentran en el centro de un conflicto que desatará todas las pasiones: la traición y la lealtad, la compasión y la sed de venganza, el amor y el poder, la lujuria y el incesto, todo ello para ganar la más mortal de las batallas: el juego de tronos. Ya considerado un clásico moderno, la impresionante serie de Martin perdurará como uno de los grandes logros de la imaginación y de la literatura fantástica.
