A CLASH OF KINGS

A comet the color of blood and flame cuts across the sky. Two great leaders—Lord Eddard Stark and Robert Baratheon—who hold sway over an age of enforced peace are dead, victims of royal treachery. Now, from the ancient citadel of Dragonstone to the forbidding shores of Winterfell, chaos reigns. Six factions struggle for control of a divided land and the Iron Throne of the Seven Kingdoms, preparing to stake their claims through tempest, turmoil, and war. It is a tale in which brother plots against brother and the dead rise to walk in the night. Here a princess masquerades as an orphan boy; a knight of the mind prepares a poison for a treacherous sorceress; and wild men descend from the Mountains of the Moon to ravage the countryside. Against a backdrop of incest and fratricide, alchemy and murder, victory may go to the men and women possessed of the coldest steel...and the coldest hearts. For when kings clash, the whole land trembles.

Author: Martin George R. R. (EDT), Dozois Gardner R. (EDT)
Publisher: Tor Fantasy

From George R. R. Martin's Introduction to Warriors:
“People have been telling stories about warriors for as long as they have been telling stories. Since Homer first sang the wrath of Achilles and the ancient Sumerians set down their tales of Gilgamesh, warriors, soldiers, and fighters have fascinated us; they are a part of every culture, every literary tradition, every genre. All Quiet on the Western Front, From Here to Eternity, and The Red Badge of Courage have become part of our literary canon, taught in classrooms all around the country and the world. Our contributors make up an all-star lineup of award-winning and bestselling writers, representing a dozen different publishers and as many genres. We asked each of them for the same thing—a story about a warrior. Some chose to write in the genre they're best known for. Some decided to try something different. You will find warriors of every shape, size, and color in these pages, warriors from every epoch of human history, from yesterday and today and tomorrow, and from worlds that never were. Some of the stories will make you sad, some will make you laugh, and many will keep you on the edge of your seat.”

The stories in the third mass market volume of this book are:
Introduction: Stories of the Spinner Rack, by George R. R. Martin

Martin George R. R. Title : A Dance With Dragons
Author: Martin George R. R.
Publisher: Bantam Dell Pub Group

Dubbed “the American Tolkien” by Time magazine, George R. R. Martin has earned international acclaim for his monumental cycle of epic fantasy. Now the #1 New York Times bestselling author delivers the fifth book in his spellbinding landmark series—as both familiar faces and surprising new forces vie for a foothold in a fragmented empire.

In the aftermath of a colossal battle, the future of the Seven Kingdoms hangs in the balance once again—beset by newly emerging threats from every direction. In the east, Daenerys Targaryen, the last scion of House Targaryen, rules with her three dragons as queen of a city built on dust and death. But Daenerys has three times three thousand enemies, and many have set out to find her. Yet, as they gather, one young man embarks upon his own quest for the queen, with an entirely different goal in mind.

To the north lies the mammoth Wall of ice and stone—a structure only as strong as those guarding it. There, Jon Snow, 998th Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch, will face his greatest challenge yet. For he has powerful foes not only within the Watch but also beyond, in the land of the creatures of ice.

And from all corners, bitter conflicts soon reignite, intimate betrayals are perpetrated, and a grand cast of outlaws and priests, soldiers and skinchangers, nobles and slaves, will face seemingly insurmountable obstacles. Some will fail, others will grow in the strength of darkness. But in a time of rising restlessness, the tides of destiny and politics will lead inevitably to the greatest dance of all. . . .

A GAME OF THRONES

Long ago, in a time forgotten, a preternatural event threw the seasons out of balance. In a land where summers can last decades and winters a lifetime, trouble is brewing. The cold is returning, and in the frozen wastes to the north of Winterfell, sinister and supernatural forces are massing beyond the kingdom's protective Wall. At the center of the conflict lie the Starks of Winterfell, a family as harsh and unyielding as the land they were born to. Sweeping from a land of brutal cold to a distant summertime kingdom of epicurean plenty, here is a tale of lords and ladies, soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and bastards, who come together in a time of grim omens.

Here an enigmatic band of warriors bear swords of no human metal; a tribe of fierce wildlings carry men off into madness; a cruel young dragon prince barters his sister to win back his throne; and a determined woman undertakes the most treacherous of journeys. Amid plots and counterplots, tragedy and betrayal, victory and terror, the fate of the Starks, their allies, and their enemies hangs perilously in the balance, as each endeavors to win that deadliest of conflicts: the game of thrones.

I Targaryen non regnano più, l'ultimo di loro, il Re Folle è stato spodestato da una coalizione di Lord e ucciso da Ser Jayme Lannister. Ora siede Robert Baratheon sul trono di ferro ma il tempo delle congiure non finisce mai e il 'Gioco dei Troni' sta per cominciare: due Targaryen sono riusciti a sfuggire alla strage della loro dinastia mentre a palazzo è morta misteriosamente la Mano del Re, il suo plenipotenziario.

Author: Martin George R. R. (EDT), Dozois Gardner R. (EDT)
Publisher: St Martins Pr

To honor the magnificent career of Jack Vance, one unparalleled in achievement and impact, George R.R. Martin and Gardner Dozois, with the full cooperation of Vance, his family, and his agents, have created a Jack Vance tribute anthology: Songs of the Dying Earth. The best of today's fantasy writers to return to the unique and evocative milieu of The Dying Earth, from which they and so many others have drawn so much inspiration, to create their own brand-new adventures in the world of Jack Vance's greatest novel.

Half a century ago, Jack Vance created the world of the Dying Earth, and fantasy has never been the same. Now, for the first time ever, Jack has agreed to open this bizarre and darkly beautiful world to other fantasists, to play in as their very own. To say that other fantasy writers are excited by this prospect is a gross understatement; one has told us that he'd crawl through broken glass for the chance to write for the anthology, another that he'd gladly give up his right arm for the privilege. That's the kind of regard in which Jack Vance and The Dying Earth are held by generations of his peers.

This book contains original stories from George R. R. Martin, Neil Gaiman, Dan Simmons, Elizabeth Moon, Tanith Lee, Tad Williams,  Kage Baker, and Robert Silverberg, along with fifteen others--as well as an introduction by Dean Koontz.

Publisher: Tor Science Fiction

From the #1 New York Times bestseller, the third of a new generation of Wild Cards tales

 
In 1946, an alien virus that rewrites human DNA was accidentally unleashed in the skies over New York City. It killed ninety percent of those it infected. Nine percent survived to mutate into tragically deformed creatures. And one percent gained superpowers. The Wild Cards shared-universe series, created and edited since 1987 by New York Times #1 bestseller George R. R. Martin (“The American Tolkien”—Time magazine) along with Melinda Snodgrass, is the tale of the history of the world since then—and of the heroes among the one percent.

 Ranging from New York and New England to ravaged Africa and New Orleans, encompassing war, devastation, and stubborn hope, Suicide Kings advances the story of the Wild Cards, and their struggle to be fully human in a world that fears and mistrusts them.

Publisher: Tor Books

Back in print after a decade, expanded with new original material, this is the first volume of George R. R. Martin's Wild cards shared-world series

There is a secret history of the world—a history in which an alien virus struck the Earth in the aftermath of World War II, endowing a handful of survivors with extraordinary powers. Some were called Aces—those with superhuman mental and physical abilities. Others were termed Jokers—cursed with bizarre mental or physical disabilities. Some turned their talents to the service of humanity. Others used their powers for evil. Wild Cards is their story.

Originally published in 1987, Wild Cards I includes powerful tales by Roger Zelazny, Walter Jon Williams, Howard Waldrop, Lewis Shiner, and George R. R. Martin himself. And this new, expanded edition contains further original tales set at the beginning of the Wild Cards universe, by eminent new writers like Hugo–winner David Levine, noted screenwriter and novelist Michael Cassutt, and New York Times bestseller Carrie Vaughn.

Un universo fantastico ormai diventato leggenda --- New York, 1946: il virus alieno Wild Cards stermina gran parte della popolazione. I sopravvissuti vengono colpiti da mutazioni genetiche: la maggioranza – i Joker – restano orribilmente sfigurati, pochissimi invece pescano l’asso e acquistano poteri da supereroi. Da questa realtà alternativa George R.R. Martin ha fatto nascere, insieme a una rete di scrittori impegnati in un gioco di ruolo, un romanzo a mosaico destinato a espandersi, nei molti volumi della serie, in un vero universo narrativo. Buoni o malvagi, i supereroi – l’ambiguo e astuto Dr. Tachyon, il misterioso Croyd Crenson, e poi Cap ‘n Trips, Bagabond, Sewer Jack, Puppetman – alternano avventure mozzafiato e scene di vita quotidiana, esibiscono poteri impensabili e umanissimi vizi e virtù, si rivelano come simboli e avatar delle nostre fantasie più sfrenate.

From George R. R. Martin’s Introduction to Warriors:

“People have been telling stories about warriors for as long as they have been telling stories. Since Homer first sang the wrath of Achilles and the ancient Sumerians set down their tales of Gilgamesh, warriors, soldiers, and fighters have fascinated us; they are a part of every culture, every literary tradition, every genre. All Quiet on the Western Front, From Here to Eternity, and The Red Badge of Courage have become part of our literary canon, taught in classrooms all around the country and the world. Our contributors make up an all-star lineup of award-winning and bestselling writers, representing a dozen different publishers and as many genres. We asked each of them for the same thing—a story about a warrior. Some chose to write in the genre they’re best known for. Some decided to try something different. You will find warriors of every shape, size, and color in these pages, warriors from every epoch of human history, from yesterday and today and tomorrow, and from worlds that never were. Some of the stories will make you sad, some will make you laugh, and many will keep you on the edge of your seat.”

Author: Feydeau Georges; Martinolli A. (cur.); Calvino P. (cur.)
Publisher: Editoria & Spettacolo

Georges Feydeau (1862-1921), considerato uno dei maggiori commediografi della storia del teatro francese, si contraddistingue per la sua capacità di mettere a nudo i difetti della società del suo tempo facendosi beffe della borghesia seduta in platea evidenziandone senza mezzi termini la vacuità intellettuale. La sua produzione teatrale, che comprende circa quaranta opere, spazia dalle commedie agli atti unici passando per i monologhi, con cui l'autore attacca apertamente i personaggi e la mentalità della sua epoca senza mai perdere quella verve che lo caratterizza. Il libro, oltre a presentare un'inedita raccolta di pièces e monologhi, contiene anche alcuni approfondimenti sullo stile teatrale dell'autore, sui personaggi dei suoi testi nonché la sintesi delle trame di tutte le opere. Commedie in tre atti: 'Il matrimonio di Barillon', 'Il sistema Ribadier', 'Il nastro'; atti unici: 'Dalla finestra', 'Un bagno casalingo', 'L'uomo balia', 'È una donna di mondo', 'Riunione notturna'Monologhi: 'Agli antipodi', 'Il collegiale', 'I personaggi famosi', 'Le riforme', 'L'uomo integro', 'Tutto merito di Brown-Séquard!...', 'Il giurato'.

Fiume Mississippi, 1857. Il ghiaccio di un gelido inverno ha appena distrutto la flotta commerciale del capitano Abner Marsh. Privo di assicurazione, il vecchio armatore si ritrova solo, in bancarotta, disperato. Ma ecco che, inaspettatamente, un bizzarro straniero di nome Joshua York si offre di rilevare la metà della sua compagnia di navigazione in rovina, mettendo sul piatto una cifra spropositata. Ma non è tutto. York intende investire il proprio denaro nella costruzione del battello più lussuoso, più bello e soprattutto più veloce che abbia mai solcato le torbide acque del Mississippi, e per di più ne offre il comando al capitano Marsh. L'unica condizione posta da York è semplice: gli ordini da lui impartiti saranno pochi, ma per quanto strani o assurdi possano sembrare, ogni qual volta verranno emanati, Marsh dovrà assicurarsi che essi vengano eseguiti alla lettera, senza fare domande. E così il nuovo gioiello del fiume, battezzato Fevre Dream, inizia il suo viaggio. Tuttavia, man mano che il battello discende il tortuoso corso del Mississippi, Marsh prende a insospettirsi sempre più. Perché il misterioso York si fa vedere soltanto di notte? Come mai lui e i suoi amici si dissetano ogni sera col disgustoso vino nerastro della sua riserva privata? Quando la verità sarà finalmente rivelata, il capitano dovrà scegliere da che parte stare...
