Vuur en Bloed 1 - De Opkomst van het Huis Targaryen (tie-in) (De wereld van het lied van ijs en vuur)
Binnenkort te zien als de Game of Thrones-prequelserie House of the Dragon op HBO Max. De bloedspannende geschiedenis van de Targaryens uit de wereld van George R.R. Martin komt tot leven in dit absolute meesterwerk. Driehonderd jaar voordat Het Lied van IJs en Vuur begon, veroverde Aegon Targaryen met zijn zussen-gemalinnen en hun drie draken het continent Westeros. Meer dan 280 jaar hielden zijn nakomelingen de heerschappij in stand. Ze doorstonden opstanden, burgeroorlogen en familieruzies... totdat Robert Baratheon de waanzinnige koning Aerys II van zijn troon stootte. Dit is de geschiedenis van het grote Huis Targaryen, opgeschreven door aartsmaester Gyldayn, getranscribeerd door George R.R. Martin.

1,509 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.

Ik schrijf hier alvast iets zodat veel mensen niet dezelfde fout maken als ik. Na te horen dat er een spinoff serie komt van Game Of Thrones gebaseerd op een nieuw boek dacht ik bij mezelf: “Lijkt me een perfect moment om Martin’s schrijfstijl eens te verkennen met een nieuw verhaal waar ik nog geen spoilers van ken.”
Toen ik in het boek begon dacht ik dat ik eerst een lange intro aan het lezen was. Na 100 bladzijden fronste ik toch mijn wenkbrauwen. Na 200 bladzijden was het verhaal nog steeds een geschiedkundige opsomming zonder karakteropbouw, zonder conversaties, gewoon droog een opsomming van alle gebeurtenissen onder elke koning.
Is dit nu gewoon de luiheid van een schrijver? Is dit fan service voor die hard fans? Of is dit gewoon een snel manuscriptje zodat ze er een serie van kunnen maken?
Geen idee maar bij deze, vergis je niet en koop dit boek niet als je wil kennismaken met hoe de schrijfstijl van de originele boeken zou zijn.

Loved to read the stories of the Targaryen family. The most entertaining part of the book is obviously The Dance Of The Dragons. But the rest wont disappoint. Reading how Aegon The Conquerer and his sisters took over Westeros and the rest of the kingdoms. You start to form more of a world, building on what you saw/read in Game Of Thrones.
LOVED IT!
