Opis

A historical exploration of the narratives of love, passion and relationships in Game of Thrones.

Recenzje

All Men Must Die interrogates and analyses the eight-season arc of HBO's Game of Thrones on its own terms-not as an adaptation. Carolyne Larrington succeeds in explaining how, in spite of the glaring flaws of the latter seasons, the 'narrative, themes, and characters' of the show nonetheless represent a compelling version of contemporary medievalist storytelling. Incisively argued and deftly written, this is a worthy follow-up to her earlier, impressive, exploration of the world of Game of Thrones, and an enjoyable read in its own right.
