Le Trône de fer, Tome 4 : L'Ombre maléfique

Rate this book
Haï de tous et constamment en butte aux intrigues de sa propre sœur, la reine régente Cersei, Tyrion le Lutin se démène de son mieux pour préserver Port-Réal et rallier à la cause de sa maison de grands seigneurs rétifs. Le nouveau roi du Nord, Robb Stark, menace les domaines Lannister et expédie sa mère auprès de Renly Baratheon, rival direct de son propre frère, Stannis. Obtiendra-t-elle l'union sacrée contre l'adversaire commun ? Que pèse la bonne volonté des hommes face aux rivalités des dieux ou des puissances occultes qui se déchaînent en leur nom ? Comment Winterfell lui-même ne serait-il pas submergé sous les vagues d'adeptes du dieu Noyé ? Que peut la Garde de Nuit face aux sauvageons, complices insidieux des Autres ? A l'évidence, l'hiver vient pour le royaume des Sept Couronnes.


Maléfices, émeutes, guerre, confusion, haine, meurtres et démence, voilà ce que présageait, semble-t-il, sous des noms divers, la comète rouge : l'imminence d'un chaos sanglant. Fétu que l'individu – qu'il s'appelle Arya, Sansa, Bran, Tommen, Myrcella... – dans cette furia de mort. Fétu que l'enfance, et pourtant, quelle vitalité !

George 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.

D’un côté Theon espère faire son petit bonhomme de chemin sur les îles, mais il se prend un gros stop qui fait plaisir (il est vraiment imbuvable), Daenerys, quant à elle, arrive dans une cité riche et opulente où on lui fait mille promesses, tandis qu’Arya fait la rencontre de Jaqen. Ce n’est pas encore l’apothéose, mais au moins, les choses commencent à bouger, l’action se dessine petit à petit.

La suite sur le blog :)

Les choses se mettent en place petit à petit, je trouve certains chapitres ennuyeux mais dans l'ensemble, ce tome est plus agréable à lire (ou écouter) que le précédent.

👂 Version audio.
