This compendium brings together the best of Martin\'s shorter fiction, showing his evolution as a writer from his early, unpublished fan stories, through to his most famous, award-winning stories--including two previously unpublished teleplays and extensive author commentary.
Klappentext:
Even before A Game of Thrones, George R. R. Martin had already established himself as a giant in the field of fantasy literature. The first of two stunning collections, Dreamsongs: Volume I is a rare treat for readers, offering fascinating insight into his journey from young writer to award-winning master.
Gathered here in Dreamsongs: Volume I are the very best of George R. R. Martin s early works, including his Hugo, Nebula, and Bram Stoker award winning stories, cool fan pieces, and the original novella The Ice Dragon, from which Martin s New York Times bestselling children s book of the same title originated. A dazzling array of subjects and styles that features extensive author commentary, Dreamsongs, Volume I is the perfect collection for both Martin devotees and a new generation of fans.
Fans, genre historians and aspiring writers alike will find this shelf-bending retrospective as impressive as it is intriguing. Publishers Weekly
