Песнь Льда и Пламени
По правде говоря, сложности с написанием «Песни льда и пламени» начались у Мартина далеко не вчера и даже не с шестой книги цикла. Автор цикла романов "Песнь льда и пламени" Джордж Мартин поделился с прессой своими видами на окончание книжного цикла, передает накануне журнал Entertainment Weekly, которому фантаст дал большое интервью. Предполагается, что «Ветра зимы» станут предпоследней книгой «Песни льда и пламени».

Создатель «Игры престолов» рассказал, как помог с разработкой Elden Ring
Создатель цикла «Песнь льда и пламени» Джордж Мартин опубликовал большую запись в своём личном блоге. Джордж Мартин заявил, что обязательно закончит книжный цикл «Песнь Льда и Пламени», который лёг в основу сериала «Игра престолов». Cерию книг автора «Песни льда и пламени» Джорджа Мартина собираются экранизировать в США, сообщает американский отраслевой портал
Джордж Мартин рассказал о приквеле «Игры престолов»
Автор «Песни льда и пламени» Джордж Мартин рассказал, когда выйдет шестая книга серии, которая легла в основу сериала «Игра престолов». Джордж Мартин, создатель цикла «Песнь льда и огня», на своём сайте сообщил о временном прекращении сотрудничества с HBO — по его словам, это случилось ещё 1 июня. «Песнь льда и пламени», ровно как и сериал «Игра престолов», все-таки целиком художественное произведение.
Его дозор окончен: телеканал HBO отказался от продолжения «Игры престолов» о Джоне Сноу
Издание отмечает, что съемки первых четырех сезонов популярного сериала проходили при активном сотрудничестве с Мартином, который "писал и вычитывал сценарии, давал советы относительно подбора актеров и посещал съемочную площадку". Однако со временем он предпочел сосредоточиться на написании пока не изданного романа "Ветра зимы" из цикла "Песнь льда и пламени". При это с вопросом о том, почему так вышло, автор посоветовал журналистам издания "обратиться к [создателям сериала] Дэну [Уайссу] и Дэвиду [Бениоффу]".
Mormont sees the body and realizes his men have broken a sacred oath, but Rast drives a dagger into him, killing him too. An all-out brawl ensues and Sam grabs Gilly and her baby. They flee into the night as Rast yells threats after them. There, the Hound recognizes Lord Beric Dondarrion and dismisses his group as deserters. Beric explains the Brotherhood Without Banners fights against those - like the Hound - who prey on the weak. In her mother tongue, Daenerys commands her army to slaughter all the slavers and for Drogon to unleash dragonfire. Kraznys is engulfed in flame.
Once the smoke clears, Dany tells the Unsullied they are free to go or fight for her as free men. She leads them all out of Astapor. Tormund breaks up the dispute but informs Jon he will kill him if it turns out he lied. She reminds him he does and lures him into a cave. Now secluded, Ygritte tells Jon to prove his loyalty by breaking his vow of celibacy. He relents and the two consummate their relationship. Margaery assures the smitten Sansa she can persuade Joffrey to consent to the union. Loras reveals that he is engaged and the squire, a spy for Littlefinger, moves quickly to report this development. She pretends not to be frightened as Beric explains he died and was resurrected by the Lord of Light.
Jaime refuses and forgoing milk of the poppy, screams while Qyburn cuts away the rotten flesh. To her horror, he hops into the same one. After some teasing, he proposes a truce, claiming he trusts her. Ned Stark found him there and immediately judged him guilty; Jaime never told him the truth. Woozy and weak, the former knight struggles to stand in the bath. Arya is heartbroken. Shireen, who suffers from disfiguring greyscale, is pleased to see her father. When she inquires about Davos Seaworth, Stannis tells her of his treason. Learning that Davos cannot read, Shireen insists she will teach him how.
Jorah Mormont and Barristan Selmy follow, trading war stories. Jorah digs to see if Barristan knows how he betrayed Dany, but learns that the Lord Commander was not welcome at Small Council meetings. Dany asks her new army to choose their own leader; they select Grey Worm. Perturbed that the Unsullied are named after vermin, she encourages them to select new ones. Robb tells his wife that will mean turning to Walder Frey, the man whose daughter he was supposed to marry. Tywin discloses that the Tyrells are conspiring to wed Sansa to Loras. He views this union as a betrayal against the crown and a strategic plot to control the North. His lack of know-how confirms what Gilly suspected; Sam is highborn. Neither of their armies will ensure their survival, she reasons.
The lovers pledge to never betray each other. She fires an arrow for Joffrey, Cersei and Ilyn Payne, hitting the straw target each time. As Anguy coaches her, Arya notices riders approaching the camp. Thoros of Myr meets the visitors, speaking to Melisandre in High Valyrian. In the same tongue, the red priestess greets Thoros by name and questions the status of his mission-to convert King Robert to the Lord of Light. Now his devotion to the Lord of Light is absolute. Beric exchanges Gendry for sacks of gold, while the Red priestess assures the stunned boy he is meant for a higher purpose. The boy taunts Theon while he peels the skin off his pinkie finger. The boy affirms these details, only to deny them moments later: The real reason Theon is being tortured is because the boy enjoys it.
After Theon begs him to stop the pain, the boy cuts off his pinkie. Bolton agrees, aware this is the most lucrative and safest course of action. Jaime insists on taking Brienne with him, but Bolton refuses. He tells his uncle this marriage will redeem his recklessness at Stone Mill. When Edmure begrudgingly consents, Robb says he will not forget the act of loyalty. Because she rejects the idea-Cersei is too old-Tywin threatens to name Loras to the Kingsguard, ensuring that the Tyrell name will die with Loras. Backed into a corner, Olenna consents, and in spite of herself, is impressed that Tywin lives up to his ruthless reputation. Watching the couple from above, Cersei and Tyrion Lannister discuss how they landed in this mess. Cersei says it was family loyalty that inspired her investigation into the Tyrells, and concedes that Tyrion proved himself at the Battle of the Blackwater.
Tyrion begins to suspect it was Joffrey who ordered the attempt on his life, not Cersei. To recoup his investment in her, he passed her on to Joffrey, who was eager to try out his crossbow. Hundreds of feet in the air, Ygritte hits a fault with her ice pick and a fissure erupts. A chunk of ice detaches from the face, plummeting scores of men to their death and tearing Jon and Ygritte from their grip. Tormund and Orell struggle to hold on with the pair dangling below them. Orell tries to cut their weight loose, but Jon finds a grip just in the time. The lovers press on and finally reach the top. While gazing upon the kingdom below, they share a passionate kiss. Orell voices concerns to her as well-she should be with one of her own, specifically, him.
Joffrey takes issue with the location of his Small Council meetings and inquires about rumors of dragons. Margaery counsels the girl to make the best of her situation-Tyrion is far from the worst Lannister. He has never mistreated her and their son will be Lord of Casterly Rock and the North. The thought of producing an heir scares Sansa, but Margaery asserts she might be pleasantly surprised. Tyrion dreads this will only lead both women to hate him. He presents Shae with expensive golden chains and she rejects the gift. She believes that Tyrion wants to marry Sansa. When he denies this, Shae again proposes they flee across the Narrow Sea. Tyrion refuses-he cannot abandon his family duties.
Jorah advises that taking the Yellow City may sacrifice men unnecessarily, but Dany says the 200,000 people enslaved within the walls are reason enough. Razdal, enraged at her gall, warns that Yunkai has powerful friends protecting the city and tries to reclaim the gold, only to be stopped by the dragons. Dany keeps the gold and offers Razdal a gift-his life. Eventually, they strip naked and climb on top of him. Jon remarks that although the wildlings are brave, they cannot win. All of you. Later that evening, Talisa reveals to Robb that she is carrying their child. The couple plans to visit Volantis once the war is over. The men maintain they were following the orders of the Lord of Light and Arya replies that her true god is death.
She absconds into the dark forest where the Hound snatches her. Aware of what this means, Brienne tells Jaime his debt to her will be paid if he keeps his promise. He swears to return the Stark girls to their mother. When Brienne says goodbye, she calls Jaime by name. Jaime futilely tries to pay off Locke and then jumps into the pit to get between the bear and Brienne. Jaime hoists Brienne out of the pit and is pulled out just as the bear charges. Helpless, Locke backs down and Jaime escorts Brienne out of Harrenhal. Although there are more Unsullied than sellswords, Ser Barristan warns Dany they are formidable. Dany invites their leaders, Mero of Braavos, Prendahl na Ghezn and Daario Naharis to meet in an attempt to buy their allegiance.
Mero and Prendahl are crude and offensive, while Daario is only skeptical of her mission. The men take a barrel of wine while they think over her proposition. The men draw coins and Daario is designated the assassin. Her captor surprises her when he mentions he saved Sansa from being raped by a mob. Melisandre sends him to a comfortable chamber, provoking Stannis Baratheon to complain she should just do the deed. Tyrion enters her chamber and in a moment alone with his bride-to-be, swears he will never hurt her. Loras tries to make conversation with Cersei and quickly learns she has no desire to speak to him. Tyrion plays up his drunkenness and retreats with his wife into their chamber. Sansa replies that may never happen.
The man grabs Missandei and holds a knife to her throat. Daario pledges his loyalty-and heart-to Dany alone and promises that the Second Sons will fight for her. Stripping naked, Melisandre seduces him and straps him to the bed-and then applies leeches to his body. Stannis and Davos enter and watch as Melisandre removes the swollen leeches and walks over to a brazier. As they gather kindling, ravens land in the trees above them and begin to caw. The Walker explodes into ice. With so much at stake, he asks Catelyn for her advice; her instincts were right about Theon. Robb apologizes profusely to Lord Frey and the women in his family for breaking his promise to marry one of them. Despite the tense exchange, Walder pledges to put the past behind them.
Orell, Tormund and Ygritte propose killing the man. When Jon Snow objects, suspicions arise. The wildlings race toward the hut, but Jon clanks his sword on a rock to alert the man, then distracts Ygritte mid-shot so she misses her target. The Reeds spot the fleeing horse breeder and the wildlings in pursuit. Hodor threatens to blow their cover when he shouts in panic, fearful of thunder. They task Jon with killing him as a test of loyalty. Because Jon hesitates, Ygritte ultimately does the deed. The wildlings realize the truth: Jon is still a crow. Orell wargs into his eagle right before Jon kills him.
Shielding himself from the eagle, Jon rides off, abandoning Ygritte. He proposes her two best fighters enter the city with him through the back gate, so they can kill the guards and open the front gate for her army. The three men fend off the Yunkish guards. A worried Dany paces until their successful return - aware of what happened in Astapor, the slave soldiers surrendered. Daario presents his queen with the flag of the city. The Hound knocks the man out but reluctantly relents when Arya begs him not to him. As they approach the Stark camp, Arya is restless. Arya reveals that she knows his fear of fire, and promises to murder him one day. The two are married in the Faith of the Seven; a boisterous reception follows.
В итоге остается открытым вопрос: зачем Король Ночи шел на юг и почему зима не наступила? Поэтому вместо продолжения сериала поклонникам, вероятно, придется дожидаться выхода очередного романа. Вторая незавершенная линия касается Брана Старка.
В предыдущих сезонах Трехглазый ворон демонстрировал невероятные способности к путешествию по прошлому и будущему, а также возможность вселяться в любое живое существо. Но в 8 сезоне Бран ни разу не проявил свои способности. Это также очевидно в финальной серии, когда Ворон ручается отыскать дракона Дейенерис, но сюжет так и не раскрывает этот момент.

Остается загадкой. Некоторые зрители даже предположили, что он сможет оживить королеву или найти окаменевшие кладки яиц. Это позволит развиться сюжетной линии Джона Сноу, который может управлять драконами.
Возможно, 9 сезон все-таки будет?
Тогда он писал в среднем по 150 страниц в месяц. Мартин также призвал своих читателей не выискивать в его записях скрытый смысл, а популярные медиа упрекнул за то, что они в погоне за кликабельными заголовками часто искажают его слова. Действительно, ряд изданий уже откликнулись на его публикацию в блоге, объявив , будто писатель обещал закончить роман уже в следующем году. На самом деле Мартин высказал осторожную надежду, что роман, как и эпидемия COVID-19, в следующем году подойдут в концу. С тех пор писатель закончил и опубликовал пять из намеченных семи частей: «Игра престолов» 1996 , «Битва королей» 1998 , Буря мечей 2000 , «Пир стервятников» 2005 и «Танец с драконами» 2011.
Джордж Мартин рассказал о приквеле «Игры престолов»
Мартин подчеркнул, что сюжет нового романа будет заметно отличаться от последних сезонов "Игры престолов".

Картина была снята по циклу романов Мартина "Песнь льда и пламени", первый из которых вышел в 1996 году.

«Песнь льда и пламени» доставит новые страдания критикам «Игры престолов». И Джордж Мартин неумолим
| Анонсирован новый сериал по вселенной «Песни Льда и Пламени» | Доброго всем времени HBO затаилось до Нового года и новости,слухи,шепотки,намеки о последнем сезоне Игры Престолов не накрыли нас волной,захотелось вернуться к тому с чего всё начиналось. |
| «Игра престолов» возвращается на экраны | Сериал «Игра престолов» построен на цикле романов «Песнь Льда и Огня» Джорджа Р. Р. Мартина. |
Писатель Джордж Мартин пообещал фанатам «Игры престолов» иной финал в последней книге
Автор назвал книгу большой и сложной и предположил, что она станет самой объемной в цикле. На сегодня самыми длинными стали книги «Танец с драконами» и «Буря мечей» — они включают около 1,5 тысячи страниц. Вероятно, в новой книге будет еще больше страниц. По словам Мартина, он перестал рассказывать, когда допишет новую книгу.
И Джордж Мартин неумолим 29 ноября 2019 14:03 Татьяна Вержановская Создатели «Игры престолов» рассказали, чем на самом деле закончится цикл книг Джорджа Мартина, и, кажется, Бениофф и Уайсс никогда не перестанут разочаровывать фанов. Ведь финал «Песни льда и пламени» совсем не порадует тех, кого расстроила развязка сериала. Хотя, вероятно, и будет более логичным. В начале декабря на DVD выйдет документальный фильм о восьмом сезоне «Игры престолов». В нём покажут сцены, не вошедшие в финальный монтаж, а также разъяснят некоторые неочевидные моменты шоу и ответят на вопросы зрителей а их к шоураннерам накопилось немало.
Многие пояснения, пишет Entertainment Weekly , будут касаться мотивации главных героев именно к этому у фанов было много претензий в последнем сезоне.
Although tempted, Arya decides she needs to find the rest of her family. Her friend rearranges his face so that he no longer looks like Jaqen, and walks off. In the Godswood, they find Maester Luwin dying from his wound. He refuses their offers of help and tells the boys they must leave and meet Jon at the Wall, in case the Ironmen return. As the boys weep, Luwin tells them he considers himself lucky for the time they spent together. Sending the Starks away, he asks Osha to protect them-and to give him a quick death. Walking around it, looking for an entrance, Jorah and Kovarro lose sight of Daenerys, who ends up inside. As she searches for her dragons, she passes through a series of rooms.
A destroyed Throne Room covered in snow leads her to the Wall, where she finds a Dothraki tent. Inside, Khal Drogo comforts their baby. Dany tears herself away and passes into a room where she finds her dragons in chains. Multiple Pyat Prees tell her that the dragons have brought magic back. Since everyone is stronger when Dany is with her dragons, she must stay with them forever. Finding herself in chains, Dany commands Dracarys to breathe fire through her and at Pyat Pree. The dragonfire melts her chains and kills Pyat Pree, but does not harm her. Taking his key, Dany unlocks his secret vault and discovers it is empty. Xaro and Doreah plead for their lives, but Dany locks them in vault.
En route, Qhorin starts a fight with Jon, blaming him for the death of his brothers. Rattleshirt allows them to fight, and Qhorin goads Jon into killing him. Ygritte shows him a valley where thousands of wildlings have gathered to follow Mance. As Sam continues talk about Gilly, horns sound in the distance-three blasts. Sam gets left behind and watches an army of white walkers march past him. A wight attacks Sam, but Ghost, Lord Commander Mormont, and the remaining brothers arrive and set it on fire. He tells his men they will need to make it back to Castle Black to warn the kingdom. He mistakes Tormund Gianstbane for the King Beyond the Wall and kneels before him, unaware that Mance is the unassuming one standing in the back. Believing his sister responsible for the attempt on his life, Tyrion is jumpy when she visits.
Queen Cersei demands to know what business he plans to discuss with their father. Meryn accuses the newly knighted Bronn of the Blackwater of being an up-jumper. After Cersei leaves, Bronn tells Tyrion he is doubling his prices. Initially coy, Littlefinger promises he will. Ros asks Shae to watch out for Sansa--especially around Littlefinger. Davos insists he needs to go to Stannis so he can stop her. Certain he will fail, Salladhor tells Davos he will gather his bones for his widow to wear around her neck. When Davos declares Melisandre his enemy, she tells him her presence would have changed the course of the Battle of the Blackwater. Davos attacks Melisandre, but is held back and imprisoned by Stannis.
Next to Ser Jeremy, a body coughs. The two discover Qyburn, a prisoner with a cut throat. She feeds her growing dragons and tells Jorah Mormont she wishes they would grow faster. When he finally gives his son his attention, he reprimands Tyrion for bringing a whore to his bed, in direct defiance of his orders. The two face off: Tyrion points out that Tywin never once visited him after he fell in battle, a battle Tyrion is responsible for winning. He wants what is his by right: Casterly Rock. Tywin agrees to find Tyrion better accommodation, a sufficient position and a suitable wife, but he tells his youngest that Casterly Rock will never be his. He warns Tyrion that the next whore he catches him with will hang. From the safety of his compartment, he watches Margaery step through the filthy streets into an orphanage.
Inside, Margaery charms the children and distributes toys and bread. After Margaery deflects her criticism, Cersei mentions the impromptu stop in Flea Bottom. With help from Missandei, his servant who translates the High Valyrian, Dany learns that the warriors are trained as children, and only one in four boys--the most disciplined, loyal and fearless--survive its rigors. To prove it, Kraznys cuts off the nipple of one soldier, who remains stock-still. Kraznys gives Dany a day to decide if she is interested in his 8,000 men. She worries about being a slave owner but Ser Jorah assures her she will be a fair master. A cloaked man follows them as they walk along the docks. As Dany untwists the painted ball, the hooded man knocks it from her and stabs the poisonous manticore that crawls from it. As Ser Jorah takes hold of the man, the girl, now brandishing stained blue lips and teeth, disappears through the crowd.
Dany realizes the warlocks of Qarth are after her. Dany thanks the hooded man, who kneels before her and reveals himself. Ser Barristan Selmy, who served as Lord Commander of the Kingsguard until Joffrey forced his retirement, pledges himself to Daenerys Stormborn and asks her for forgiveness. Her father Lord Hoster Tully has died and Winterfell has been put to the torch. Robb tries to remain optimistic: Bran and Rickon have not been found, but Catelyn Stark is distraught to learn there have been no demands from Theon Greyjoy--who is also missing. Bound on an X-shaped cross, he pleads with the Ironmen who peel skin from his fingers and turn a screw into his foot. He explains he took Winterfell to bring glory to his father. When his captors seem unsatisfied, he confesses he was resentful about being a Stark hostage. When that still fails to change his situation, Theon swears he will tell them anything.
After everyone leaves, a boy mopping the floors tells Theon that he has been sent by his sister Yara. The boy promises he will return for Theon that evening. Jaime does his best to provoke her, particularly when he realizes that she had feelings for Renly Baratheon. When Joffrey refuses to take her bait about Margaery, she tries to warn her son he is being manipulated. Loras escorts Sansa to meet his sister and their grandmother, Lady Olenna Tyrell. She has fewer still for the Tyrell men, Lord Mace and Loras, and complains about their involvement in the war. Sansa repeats her usual platitudes, but Lady Olenna and Margaery encourage her to speak freely. Talisa tries to console Catelyn, but Catelyn pushes her away while she works on a prayer wheel for her children. Catelyn tells her she has crafted them before; the first when Jon Snow fell sick as an infant--after Catelyn wished for his death.
Jon watches Orell control his eagle and learns about warging. The boy introduces himself as Jojen Reed; he has been looking for Bran. As Arya tries to reorient them towards Riverrun, they are taken by a group of men who identify themselves as the Brotherhood Without Banners. Tyrion begs her to be careful--his father is in a hanging mood. Shae tells Tyrion Ros warned her about Littlefinger and Sansa. The raven gives him sight, into the past, the future, or elsewhere in the present. Jojen tells Bran his father never talks about the war, but Jojen saw it. Arya shows Thoros of Myr some of her water dancing to explain how they escaped from Harrenhal. Just as Thoros sets them free, Anguy delivers the Hound, whom he caught after he passed out.
Their fight is interrupted by a group of riders bearing the Bolton sigil: The farmer sold them out. Jaime tries to buy his way out of capture, but the lead rider, Locke, tells him Robb Stark will have his head if he learns Locke let the Kingslayer go. Edmure defends his decision, which yielded two young Lannister hostages, but Robb and the Blackfish are dismissive. Instead of the Mountain, they have a mill. Jaime parries, telling her she will be raped that night. He advises her not to fight, but Brienne says Jaime would resist if he were in her shoes. Waiting everyone out, Tyrion Lannister pulls a seat to the far end of the table and faces his father. Tywin is furious that there has been no news about Jaime. Hot Pie hands Arya bread shaped like a wolf and the three say goodbye.
Aware what that means, Mance instructs his team, including Jon, to climb the Wall and hide around Castle Black. Following the sound of shrieking, Sam finds Gilly giving birth... Stannis Baratheon pleads with her to stay and make him another son. She offers a dying prisoner water, but he refuses it. Although Barristan Selmy advises that they leave immediately, Jorah Mormont argues otherwise. The Unsullied will only kill on command; they will not rape or pillage after a battle. When Ser Barristan recounts how loyal soldiers rallied around her brother Rhaegar, the last dragon, Dany says she wish she had known him. Daenerys negotiates the price of one dragon to cover the cost, upsetting Barristan and Mormont. Kraznys demands the biggest and Daenerys agrees, taking Missandei as part of the deal as well.
Dany chastises Sers Barristan and Jorah for questioning her in public. Before leaving the whorehouse, Tyrion and Bronn usher Pod into a room for his reward. As thanks for saving Tyrion during the Battle of the Blackwater, Tyrion has engaged the services of three highly skilled girls to make Pod a man. He tells Theon to head east towards Deepwood Motte. Theon rides, but he is quickly overtaken by soldiers who surround him and beat him. The boy arrives on horseback to finish off the torturer, who recognizes the boy and realizes the betrayal. Her father, Lord Selwyn Tarth, will pay her weight in sapphires if she is returned unbesmirched. Locke decides to let Brienne go and further engages Jaime in conversation. Feeling increasingly confident, Jaime asks to be unchained and Locke agrees.
Locke allows Jaime to join in dinner, but instead of carving up a bird, Locke takes off his hand. Weak and dehydrated, he falls from his horse onto the muddy ground. His pleas for water are answered with horse urine. Although restrained, Brienne attempts to aid Jaime but her efforts prove futile and Jaime is quickly beaten. Locke threatens to take his other hand if he acts up again. He tells of the sorcerer who castrated him, then burned his parts. A voice in the flames answered the sorcerer, a voice that still haunts Varys and catalyzed his hatred of magic. It was this hate that motived him to join the fight against Stannis Baratheon and his red priestess. As he speaks, Varys excitedly pries open a large crate, revealing the sorcerer inside.
Varys advises Tyrion to be patient; revenge and influence are a matter of time. Jojen Reed encourages him to climb a tree in pursuit of the bird. High in the branches, Bran sees his mother, who begs him not to climb. She shakes him pleadingly, causing him to fall. He awakes and shares a knowing look with Jojen. King Joffrey shows his bride-to-be the Targaryen remains and the two discuss the significance of the legacy. Aware of the crowd outside, Margaery encourages Joffrey to greet his people; he has nothing to fear. As the duo trudges through a tunnel, Theon discloses his jealousy of Yara and Robb Stark, both of whom possess a clear sense of identity.
При этом, по замыслу Мартина, история должна уложиться в семь романов - это значит, что сериал «Игра престолов» закончится на несколько лет раньше, чем его первоисточник. Джордж Мартин отложил финал «Игры престолов» Впрочем, для поклонников творчества Джорджа Мартина есть и хорошие новости. Писатель объявил , что 20 ноября 2018 года выйдет книга «Огонь и кровь». По словам Мартина, это не столько роман, сколько «историческая» книга, которая позволит читателям узнать много нового о мире «Игры престолов».
