Die Vorgeschichte zu "Das Lied von Eis und Feuer": Ein Jahrhundert vor den Ereignissen in der Bestsellersaga "Das Lied von Eis und Feuer" nimmt ein Knappe namens Dunk das Schwert seines verstorbenen Herren an sich. Er will an einem Turnier teilnehmen, um selbst ein Ritter zu werden. Doch "Ser Duncan" hat noch viel zu lernen über die Welt der Edlen und Mächtigen. Beim Versuch, einen Platz im Turnier zu ergattern, macht er sich bald ebenso viele Feinde wie Freunde. Dunk ist ein fähiger Kämpfer mit einem starken Ehrempfinden. Doch wird das reichen, um ihn in den Augen der Welt als wahrer Ritter dastehen zu lassen? Oder ist er nur ein fehlgeleiteter junger Mann, der sich und andere in tödliche Gefahr bringt?

George R.R. Martin
1,509 books121k followersGeorge Raymond Richard "R.R." Martin was born September 20, 1948, in Bayonne, New Jersey. His father was Raymond Collins Martin, a longshoreman, and his mother was Margaret Brady Martin. He has two sisters, Darleen Martin Lapinski and Janet Martin Patten.
Martin attended Mary Jane Donohoe School and Marist High School. He began writing very young, selling monster stories to other neighborhood children for pennies, dramatic readings included. Later he became a comic book fan and collector in high school, and began to write fiction for comic fanzines (amateur fan magazines). Martin's first professional sale was made in 1970 at age 21: The Hero, sold to Galaxy, published in February, 1971 issue. Other sales followed.
In 1970 Martin received a B.S. in Journalism from Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois, graduating summa cum laude. He went on to complete a M.S. in Journalism in 1971, also from Northwestern.
As a conscientious objector, Martin did alternative service 1972-1974 with VISTA, attached to Cook County Legal Assistance Foundation. He also directed chess tournaments for the Continental Chess Association from 1973-1976, and was a Journalism instructor at Clarke College, Dubuque, Iowa, from 1976-1978. He wrote part-time throughout the 1970s while working as a VISTA Volunteer, chess director, and teacher.
In 1975 he married Gale Burnick. They divorced in 1979, with no children. Martin became a full-time writer in 1979. He was writer-in-residence at Clarke College from 1978-79.
Moving on to Hollywood, Martin signed on as a story editor for Twilight Zone at CBS Television in 1986. In 1987 Martin became an Executive Story Consultant for Beauty and the Beast at CBS. In 1988 he became a Producer for Beauty and the Beast, then in 1989 moved up to Co-Supervising Producer. He was Executive Producer for Doorways, a pilot which he wrote for Columbia Pictures Television, which was filmed during 1992-93.
Martin's present home is Santa Fe, New Mexico. He is a member of Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America (he was South-Central Regional Director 1977-1979, and Vice President 1996-1998), and of Writers' Guild of America, West.

Grundsätzlich ein sehr gutes Buch-vor allem weil es sich nicht ganz so ernst nimmt wie G.R.R. Martins Hauptwerk, das Lied von Eis und Feuer.
Einen Punkt Abzug, weil sich für mein Empfinden die letzten hundert Seiten etwas gezogen haben.
Zwei der drei Kurzgeschichten waren sich doch sehr ähnlich und nach seitenweisen Erklärungen über Häuser und Stammbäume habe ich dann doch ein wenig den Überblick verloren.
Klare Leseempfehlung für Fans des Hauptwerks oder der Serie.

Wollte ich mal lesen, bevor ich die Serie schaue. Mit dem Ergebnis, dass ich mir jetzt die Serie spare.
