Rate this book
哈利波特们长大后该看什么书?欧美青年们现在不断争论的是什么?幻想世界九大家族的权力斗争史诗,文学巨匠马丁赐予的重磅成人奇幻。欧美青年几乎人手一本的巨著,HBO同名美剧第二季即将狂暴上映。9大权力家族、数10代抢夺争斗、100个人生视角、3000个鲜活人物……
故事的主线便发生在西方的形似不列颠岛的维斯特洛大陆上。由国王劳勃•拜拉席恩前往北地拜访他的好友:临冬城主暨北境统领艾德•史塔克开始,渐渐展示了这片国度的全貌;海外的坦格利安家族准备渡海复国;而北方长城之外的邪恶势力正蠢蠢欲动。
《冰与火之歌》是当今欧美最著名的奇幻作家乔治•马丁的代表作,累计在全球销量超过千万,读者过亿。整个系列没有塑造任何英雄,所有人物都是普普通通,努力尝试去把握自己命运的人类,让我们看到在冰与火这片混乱之下,依然有不变的人性在酷酷的挣扎,任由他们自由而真实的碰撞。《冰与火之歌》采用了视点人物写作手法,每章内容均以某特定的视觉人物的角度出发,叙述一段内容,在下一章换为另一视觉人物,这更像是一出电影而非小说,让人身临其境沉迷不能自拔。

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.
