George R.R. Martin
1,506 books119k 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.

Cand am descoperit eu serialul GoT, erau trei sezoane iesite si le-am devorat pe toate trei ca un salbatic, fara oprire. N-am mancat, n-am dormit, am chiulit de la munca. Ca un drogat in al 9-lea cer cu drogul lui, nu m-am desprins de laptop decat atunci cand episoadele s-au terminat si n-am avut de ales decat sa astept urmatorul sezon.
Daca nu as fi vazut serialul inainte, probabil s-ar fi intamplat la fel acum, cu cartile 👀
Initial am avut o neplacuta senzatie ca stiu ce se intampla in carte si ca nu ma bucur deloc de suspans si surpriza. Apoi a lovit nostalgia si am inceput sa citesc cu drag si spor, dar fara graba. Spre bucuria mea, sunt suficiente detalii pe care le uitasem.
Am terminat prima carte din serie, dar le am si pe celelalte. Serialul a urmarit foarte precis povestea din carte, ceea ce m-a surprins, pentru ca se intampla foarte multe. Chiar si in cele 800 de pagini ale cartii, ritmul este alert si atmosfera incordata.
Despre poveste ce as putea sa mai zic? Desi se desfasoara intr-o lume fantastica, are un aer incredibil de realist. Complexitatea personajelor, evolutia lor, dinamica dintre ele, totul e perfect. Pentru mine este mult mai mult decat o poveste cu dragoni si strigoi.

Tocmai am terminat de citit una dintre cele mai bune carti! Nu, nu am vazut serialul, mi-a ajuns un episod pentru a-l considera suparator prin vulgaritate si violenta si da, de cartile din serie am fugit de ani, fiind convinsa ca nu vor fi pe placul meu. Cat de mult m-am inselat!
Am devorat "Urzeala tronurilor" si abia astept sa citesc si celelalte volume. Mi-a placut tot, de la actiune (suprinzator), la modul in care au fost construite personajele si mai ales arta scrierii!

October 27, 2022cred că după foarte mult timp am decis să ii dnf pt că nu o mai suport
chiar și vederea ei la raftul de cr mă enervează
prea multe perspective,prea multe detalii,mărimea scrisului nu e avantajoasă absolut deloc,iar mărimea cărții in sine te face să nu dorești a pune mâna pe ea
in cazul meu,cartea asta m-a băgat in rs și cu greu am ieșit din el
am încercat să dau o șansă și serialului,dar la fel,nu m-a prins.pur și simplu nu e pt mine acest univers pe care foarte mulți îl adoră
adevărul e că nici serialele nu mă mai atrag,prefer cărțile,because why not?:)
aceasta este strict experiența mea și ii felicit pe cei care au reușit să citească cartea si poate toată seria asta,pe cei care au adorat-o
fiecare are părerea si plăcerile sale
