Send us a textJon Connington and Aegon Targaryen meet the Golden Company. The route to Daenerys is closed, so the young prince suggests that instead they head West. Connington, infected with greyscale, is impressed. Simon and Mackelly carefully examine their extremities.Chapter ReviewGriff, Jon Connington, leads young Griff, Aegon Targaryen, to the encampment of the Golden Company. They are led to the commander's tent. Within Homeless Harry Strickland is bathing his sore toes, Connington is not impressed. He'd been uncertain of his reception as he had left the company in disgrace a dozen years earlier. However, the assembled captains appear to be aware of the ruse and the contract with Ilyrio Mopatis to fight for Young Griff. The prince's true identity is revealed to a lack of surprise. Talk turns to how they might get him to Daenerys. All routes seem problematic. Eventually Aegon himself offers an alternative. He is the only dragon they need. Why not go to Westeros and stake his claim there? Daenerys can have Meereen. The captains rally to this call and Connington is impressed by his young charge. Aegon is taken to meet the men, with the Young Griff persona back in place. Meanwhile Connington examines his fingers that are clearly showing the signs of greyscale. He hopes that he can live long enough to see his Prince back on the throne and for his bones to be laid to rest in Griffin's Roost.Young Griff/Aegon Targaryen - Teenage nephew of Daenerys. Believed murdered in the sack of King's Landing.Griff/Jon Connington - exiled lord of Westeros. Loyal to the Targaryens.

Gli archivi di George R.R. Martin alla Cushing Library della Texas A&M University è una fonte incredibile per tutto ciò che riguarda il nostro autore, da corrispondenza con fan ed editori a prop di scena di serie televisive, fino ai manoscritti dei suoi libri. In questo episodio andiamo ad esaminare l'unico manoscritto del secondo libro della saga, A Clash of Kings, Uno scontro di re, risalente a giugno 1997. In che modo differisce dalla versione pubblicata? I cambiamenti sono più consistenti, rispetto al primo libro? Forse sono domande un po' retoriche, ma è sempre bene farsele. E nell'esplorare il manoscritto, vediamo come elementi chiave negli ultimi libri erano già al lavoro da tempo, fin dal secondo, specialmente l'introduzione di un oggetto di grande interesse per i lettori: le candele di vetro.Art by Dallas WilliamsLink utili:1) https://www.reddit.com/r/asoiaf/comments/1bfeigu/spoilers_extended_secrets_of_the_cushing_library/2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6qsJv8OoXsSupportate il canale in cambio di contenuti esclusivi:Qui trovate tutti i link del canale e dei suoi host: https://linktr.ee/LaCittadella

The Bridge of Dream chapter (Tyrion Five from A Dance with Dragons) delves deeply into a number of the key themes in the series. These include the subjective nature of reality, the non-thought of received ideas, and the unreliability of language/communication. These issues are central to the human experience, and their treatment in this chapter makes the case for a moral reading of the text. This is a response to the Bridge of Dream episode from Boiled Leather Audio Hour. Those guys are legendary ASOIAF podders, so please do give a listen to their work. The "non-thought of received ideas" I first encountered in Milan Kundera's Art of the Novel. He was responding to Flaubert's earlier, posthumously published Dictionary of Received Ideas. Both get at the cost and consequence to the individual and society as a whole when critical engagement with ideas fails. Please do check them out. Thank you for listening!

Il nostro autore si definisce un "giardiniere", quando parla del tipo di scrittore che è. Per alcuni è il più preciso degli architetti, ma che sia l'uno, l'altro o entrambi, una cosa è certa: avere uno sguardo sul processo di scrittura di un autore che piace, o l'autore preferito, è davvero interessante.E noi, c'è da dire, siamo fortunati, perché la Cushing Library alla Texas A&M University è dal 1992 casa di tutto ciò che riguarda George R.R. Martin, compresi manoscritti dei suoi libri. E dato che è un archivio pubblico e liberamente consultabile, non sono pochi i fan che, presentatasi l'occasione, hanno deciso di fare una visita, per scoprire i segreti dei processi di scrittura del nostro autore. In questo nuovo episodio di Teorie in Pillole, che apre una serie dedicata completamente agli archivi di George R. R. Martin, andiamo ad esplorare il libro con meno cambiamenti, forse il meno eccitante quando si va a parlare di scoprire come si è evoluto il nostro autore, ma molto importante, perché dove tutto è cominciato: A Game of Thrones, un gioco di troni.Art by Magali VillenueveLink utili:1) https://www.reddit.com/r/asoiaf/comments/1belw08/spoilers_extended_secrets_of_the_cushing_library/2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UquF5RNx3XY&t=551sSupportate il canale in cambio di contenuti esclusivi: patreon.com/LaCittadella Qui trovate tutti i link del canale e dei suoi host: https://linktr.ee/LaCittadella

The young man shares what he's been told of his rescue. When things looked bad in King's Landing, Varys paid a tanner for his baby and smuggled the real Aegon across the Narrow Sea to Ilyrio Mopatis.

Then when they do reunite, it will be as equals.Tyrion visits Selhorys with Haldon. They learn that the Red Priests are singing Dany's praises, that she is Azor Ahai reborn. But that the nobility of the Rhoyne are very much opposed to her thwarting of the slave trade.

The king offers Jon a surprising gift, then adds to the shock by revealing his risky plan to win the north. Jon redirects him to a new plan that is safer and has huge upsides. Mackelly and Simon fear that Stannis is not earning their loyalty.Chapter Review:Jon Snow joins Bowen Marsh to inspect winter food stores held beneath Castle Black. Despite past generosity from lords and a long summer, feeding Stannis' army and wildlings has depleted supplies. Marsh proposes winter rations early. Jon agrees, knowing it'll cause unrest.Jon later meets Stannis, Melisandre, and others in the king's solar. Stannis gifts Jon a controlled Rattleshirt as a soldier. Discussion turns to Mors Umber's terms for support. Stannis hesitates, but Jon urges acceptance, warning that rejecting Mors' terms would turn the North against him. Stannis reveals plans to take the Dreadfort, but Jon argues the Boltons will return too soon and crush Stannis' force. Pressed to arm wildlings, Jon reluctantly offers basic gear, wary of violating the Night's Watch vows. Privately, Stannis tempts Jon again with legitimization and Winterfell. Jon refuses but proposes recruiting Northern mountain clans instead. If successful, Stannis could retake Deepwood Motte and build support.
