Description

Perfect for fans of HBO’s Game of Thrones—a boxed set featuring the first five novels! An immersive entertainment experience unlike any other, A Song of Ice and Fire has earned George R. R. Martin—dubbed “the American Tolkien” by Time magazine—international acclaim and millions of loyal readers. Now here is the entire monumental cycle: A GAME OF THRONES A CLASH OF KINGS A STORM OF SWORDS A FEAST FOR CROWS A DANCE WITH DRAGONS “One of the best series in the history of fantasy.”—Los Angeles Times Winter is coming. 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 and a fateful encounter that will change the course of kingdoms. Meanwhile, across the Narrow Sea, Prince Viserys, heir of the fallen House Targaryen, which once ruled all of Westeros, schemes to reclaim the throne with an army of barbarian Dothraki—whose loyalty he will purchase in the only coin left to him: his beautiful yet innocent sister, Daenerys. “Long live George Martin . . . a literary dervish, enthralled by complicated characters and vivid language, and bursting with the wild vision of the very best tale tellers.”—The New York Times Read more

    • Best in the fantasy business!
Format: Paperback
These books are an excellent buy and quite durable for the price. This version of paperback is printed in the larger style, roughly ten inches in height and six inches in width. I prefer this style of book over the much smaller, cheaper, and hard-on-the-eyes mass market paperback. Plus, these books look much better in your bookshelf. Larger print, higher quality paper, and no need for a magnifying glass :) George R. R. Martin has quickly become my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE fantasy writer. This is quite the statement, especially when you consider that I have read Tolkien many, many times and love his stuff. I love Martin for several reasons but I will only name a few. First of all, he writes from many different character point of views. This is important because one character's interpretation of events may not necessarily be accurate or even shared by another character witnessing the same events. This brings added depth to a story in that you cannot believe everything you read. Secondly, he writes his stories with plenty of gray, which gives his world added reality within the fantasy genre. This is what I mean: his stories are NOT black and white, good versus evil, right versus wrong. Every "good" character in his stories have a dark side and every "bad" character possess redeeming qualities. This is true to our everyday lives and adds so much depth to the story that you will struggle to put the books down. Lastly, Martin does an amazing job at building epic twists and uppercutting his readers. I say uppercut because no main character is safe! Do not get attached to your favorite character(s) because Martin has no problem with killing them off in order to progress the story. If you love fantasy and history, please read this story. It's a long read and to this day, unfinished. However, you will love how Martin builds deep characters, intricately detailed kingdoms, epic plot twists, and toes the line with social norms and taboo pursuits. ... show more

    • Absolutely great
Format: Mass Market Paperback
An amazing book series for an amazing price. I always see them for hundreds of dollars, but the price I got these for was worth it. The quality is great, not too big and not too small. The casing is perfect for travels or when packing up, and the individual books are great for just taking out on a hike to read at stops, or on road trips. ... show more

    • The story of our time
Format: Mass Market Paperback
"Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in ice. From what I’ve tasted of desire I hold with those who favor fire. But if it had to perish twice, I think I know enough of hate To say that for destruction ice Is also great And would suffice." “Fire and Ice” Robert Frost, 1920 George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire is the story that we need to heed right now. Yes, this is a series with all of the trappings of high fantasy: including knights, fair maidens, sorcerers, giants, and dragons. But unlike most works of the genre, the tropes don’t allow a satisfying escape from the frustrations of the modern world. Instead, they help readers explore character motivations, cultural norms, and political predicaments that speak to our own experiences in life. Martin is well read in history, and many details in his books are inspired by real events and peoples from the Middle Ages. Despite his attention to detail, reenactment is not what motivates him to tell his tale. When discussing his priorities as an author, Martin has repeatedly paraphrased Faulkner, saying: “the only thing worth writing about is the human heart in conflict with itself.” Indeed, the characters of the story are often challenged by wrenching moral dilemmas, and the choices they make have powerful consequences for their lives and the lives of others. The historical details are a means to teach us about ourselves, and about humanity at large. Accordingly, the conflicts of the story are not just internal. War and political skirmishes feature prominently in A Song of Ice and Fire, as they have in human history. Martin has cited Robert Frost’s poem “Fire and Ice” as an inspiration for his series, and its vision of destruction at the hands of human passion and cruelty epitomizes the challenges faced by the people of Westeros and Essos. Martin himself is a conscientious objector who considers most of the wars of history to have been unnecessary and disastrous ventures. His pacifism is not absolute (he has stated that some wars are necessary, such as World War II), but he nevertheless thinks it is important to consider very carefully the costs of war, without minimizing the spectacular power that military pageantry can have on a people. The titular “ice” and “fire” subtly evoke our collective capacity for rage and desolation, but more obviously they serve as the framing supernatural conceits of the series. Like in many horror stories, the people of Martin’s otherwise realistic setting are caught unawares as inexplicable forces awaken to encroach upon their safety and normalcy. Unlike most horror stories, though, this supernatural presence enters in the midst of heated squabbles, betrayals, atrocities, revolutions, and escalating warfare across the human world. The question that the series lays down is: can we ultimately look beyond our deep grievances and band together against the forces that threaten us all, before it is too late? The central threat is introduced at the very beginning of the story: a mysterious race of beings slowly moving from the permanently frozen lands of the North into Westeros and beyond. Unlike the buggers of Ender’s Game, these are not misunderstood victims of a prejudiced perspective; these are inscrutable, cruel beings capable of extinguishing all life and warmth from the earth. Yet for most of the chapters of Martin’s novels, “the Others” remain but an ominous suggestion, blithely dismissed as a story until it is too late. As this doom approaches, supernatural forces are stirred throughout the lands, allowing certain individuals to foresee future events, to inhabit the bodies of other beasts, to raise the dead, and (representing fire) to awaken living dragons. The people of Westeros and Essos react to these phenomena much as we would react to them: with disbelief, horror, or with religious awe. Yet these spectacular forces do not help any characters in their quest to save themselves from the coming apocalypse—in many cases, they introduce more problems for those who wield them than they do solutions. What can ultimately save the human race from complete obliteration is not any mystical power or prophecy, but a moral vision to unite disparate peoples against the forces that threaten stability from within and without, and the courage to act upon that vision. This is the central human challenge. Given the enormity of this challenge, the scope of the story is necessarily massive. Martin has an extraordinary gift for portraying how factions converge and clash, and how societal and ecological factors shift and interact over time to create a roiling stew of chaotic cultural systems. But, importantly, the feel of “A Song of Ice and Fire” is intimate rather than omniscient. Each chapter provides events from only one character’s perspective, in a tightly limited third person style. From each point of view, internal thoughts are explored, as are memories, dreams, and visions. Martin uses this grand mosaic of subjective snapshots to establish how well-meaning people can end up committing terrible deeds (knowingly or not), how information is easily distorted, ignored, or used to feed competing moral narratives; how the present is haunted by the past; and how the personal realm feeds the political. The ruminative, reflective approach lends a sense of tragedy to the cataclysmic events of the story, rather than simple sensational drama. And, of course, the richly realized lived experiences of these characters often challenge the cliches of epic fantasy and hero narratives. Such subversions are not for the sake of postmodern cynicism, however, but instead to highlight what Martin thinks we humans should be lauding as heroic in a world as epically complicated as our own. The struggles of life can be bleak, confusing, and seemingly without end. Those who persevere in the face of crushing adversity or numb uncertainty are not always rewarded for their actions, but their efforts are important all the same. A Song of Ice & Fire is a poignant hymn of praise to the brave souls who have looked past their everyday human struggles of pride or power and fought for something far more precious. Life. Hope. Stability. A viable future for the coming generations. Also: love. And compassion. And kindness. The TV adaptation never really gets into that. ... show more
