George R-R Martin, c'est l'histoire d'un amoureux de comics et de mondes fantastiques. Après des études de journalisme, il se lance dans l'écriture de nouvelles de science-fiction et devient, dans les années 1980, scénariste et producteur de séries télévisées. En 1990, il débute sa plus grande œuvre littéraire : le Trône de Fer. Pénétrez dans cet univers sombre, tragique et violent et suivez la guerre des clans pour le contrôle de Westeros. Appréciez la volonté de l'auteur de renverser tout manichéisme en développant le point de vue de chacun de ses personnages. Alliances politiques, complots, guerres meurtrières... suspense et tensions garantis. Après avoir dévoré cette fabuleuse saga, découvrez la passionnante épopée Eragon de Christopher Paolini. Suivez aussi les aventures de l'Assassin Royal de Robin Hobb ou replongez-vous dans l'œuvre novatrice et merveilleuse de J-R-R Tolkien. Le Seigneur des Anneaux.
