Synopsis

Con Juego de Tronos George R. R. Martin ha creado una obra maestra, ofreciendo todos los mejores aspectos del género. Misterio, intriga, romance y aventura llenan las páginas de este primer volumen de la monumental saga Canción de hielo y fuego, transportando al lector a un mundo como ningún otro.

En el legendario mundo de los Siete Reinos, donde el verano puede durar décadas y el invierno toda una vida, y donde rastros de una magia primitiva surgen en los rincones más sombríos, la tierra del norte, Invernalia, está protegida por un colosal muro de hielo que detiene a fuerzas oscuras y sobrenaturales. En este majestuoso escenario, lord Stark y su familia se encuentran en el centro de un conflicto que desatará todas las pasiones: la traición y la lealtad, la compasión y la sed de venganza, el amor y el poder, la lujuria y el incesto, todo ello para ganar la más mortal de las batallas: el juego de tronos.

Ya considerado un clásico moderno, la impresionante serie de Martin perdurará como uno de los grandes logros de la imaginación y de la literatura fantástica. 

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION 

THE BOOK BEHIND THE FIRST SEASON OF THE ACCLAIMED HBO SERIES GAME OF THRONES
#1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A SONG OF ICE AND FIRE SERIES: BOOK 1

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.

I rated this in 2010. In 2017 it's time I actually use my words. Here's my long overdue review of A Game of Thrones. I was looking at the current reviews.

"When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die. There is no middle ground." 3 1/2 stars. So in one weekend I finally finished the book I picked up and put down about ten years ago, and watched the final episode of the TV series I have loved for eight years. How odd that the book ended up......more


Quotes

“La mayor fantasía de la década” –The Denver Post

“En las páginas de Martin conviven Hamlet y Chéjov, Milton y Dickens, Conan y el Rey Arturo, en una extraña mezcla que avanza con puño de hierro, sustentado en un pilar gris y oscuro: la certeza de que lo peor aún está por llegar”. –El País
