DESCRIZIONE:

Publisher's description:
The Art of George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice & Fire, Volume I contains almost 200 pages of scenes, characters, and landscapes from Martin's beloved novels. Featuring a foreword written by George R.R. Martin himself, this book is the cornerstone of any A Song of Ice & Fire collection. This reprint features additional content that was not included in the previously released edition.
With art pieces from various board and card games such as A Game of Thrones: The Card Game, Battles of Westeros, and A Game of Thrones: The Board Game, this collection brings together the best visions of the Seven Kingdoms and beyond.

From the front flap:
Some of the greatest talents in fantastic art invite you to explore the lands of Westerors and beyond as never before. From the frozen wilderness beyond the Wall to sun-kissed Dorne, and from the rugged and brutal Iron Islands to the exotic East, the breathtaking sights and memorable characters of George R. R. Martin's best-selling fantasy series are brought to life in this unique compilation.
March to the Wall with Jon Snow and the Sworn Brothers of the Night's Watch, and confront the terrible might of the wildling hordes and the bone-chilling horror of the Others. Follow Robb Stark's desperate campaign in the North, from the snow-shrouded Whispering Wood to the green banks of the Trident. Stand with Eddard Stark in the Small Council, and be drawn into the webs of intrigue and deceit spun by Varys the Spider and Cersei Lannister in King's Landing. Ride with Daenarys Targaryen in her great khalasar, as she begins her crusade against the Free Cities across the Narrow Sea.
The Art of George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire features lavish and lovingly crafted illustrations by renowned fantasy artists such as Jim Burns, John Howe, Ted Nasmith, Steve Stone, Charles Vess, Stephen Youll, and many more. The unforgettable images in this volume are drawn from book covers and special editions, comic books, board and card games, concept art, and fan art personally selected by George Martin from the thousands of illustrations that have been inspired by his work.
