Step into the crossroads of fantasy and history with Anna Danyushevskaya-Graham: History and Fantasy—In the Footsteps of the Heroes of Game of Thrones. This compelling study explores how the fantasy genre has come to dominate modern storytelling, often eclipsing science fiction and reshaping the historical novel. Following the tangled paths of George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire, the author seeks to answer profound questions: What is fantasy’s true relationship with tradition and history? How can readers distinguish the light of truth from a deceptive glow?
Drawing on Earth’s own legends, myths, and parables, this book offers keys to these mysteries—for those brave enough to take them. Along the way, it tackles specific puzzles: Which real historical figures inspired Petyr Baelish, Varys, and Olenna Tyrell? Why should Daenerys fear herself above all? What does Jon Snow fail to understand? Who is Arya truly avenging? What horses did the Night’s Watch ride? And, most crucially, can Westeros be saved?
At a price of 2005.00 RUR, this is an essential read for fans of the series and anyone intrigued by the interplay of legend and reality.
