Con questo episodio si conclude l'analisi de Il cavaliere errante, la prima novella che vede come protagonisti il cavaliere errante Dunk e il suo piccolo scudiero Egg. George R.R. Martin, da abilissimo scrittore di storie brevi, concentra nella novella gran parte della sua filosofia, offrendoci anche, forse, un piccolo sguardo sul futuro della storia per come l'aveva pensata nell'ormai lontano 1997 (e per quanto i piani siano cambiati ancora e ancora, è comunque affascinante). Parliamo di draghi rossi e draghi neri (o, meglio, draghi brillanti), di sogni di drago e di destini funesti, andando a concludere con una piccola domanda, che mai però ha fatto bene a questo canale, visto che a quanto pare ci azzecchiamo poco, quando si parla di predizioni: come adattare le novelle di Dunk ed Egg? A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms debutterà a breve, in fondo, dobbiamo pur porcela, la domanda, in vista del 2026...Art by Michael Kaluta (The Hedge Knight Comicbook)Supportate il canale in cambio di contenuti esclusivi: https://www.patreon.com/LaCittadellaQui trovate tutti i link del canale e dei suoi host: https://linktr.ee/LaCittadella

Le tre novelle che vedono come protagonisti il cavaliere errante Dunk e il suo piccolo scudiero Egg, che dietro la sua testa pelata e i suoi occhi violetti nasconde un grande segreto, sono molte care, a George R.R. Martin, cosa di cui non fa mai mistero. Nel 1997, Robert Silverberg gli propone di partecipare alla sua antologia Legends (aveva riunito più autori, tutti i nomi illustri, categoria a cui il nostro autore sosteneva di non appartenere, all'epoca), ed è qui che nasce il primo racconto che li vede protagonisti, Il cavaliere errante. Non lo sapeva, ma proprio quello avrebbe dato una svolta decisiva alla sua vita. In questo episodio analizziamo la prima parte proprio de Il cavaliere errante, andando a conoscere il giovane Dunk, un giovane scudiero che improvvisamente si ritrova senza il suo mentore, Ser Arlan di Pennytree, cavaliere ormai anziano, morto per un raffreddore. Cosa fare? Unirsi ad una Guardia Cittadina? Trovare un altro cavaliere da servire? Darsi al brigantaggio? No, fortunatamente, Arlan in punto di morte sembra aver dato a Dunk tutto ciò che ha sempre voluto: il cavalierato. L'ora è giunta per iniziare la sua vita da cavaliere. E per fortunata coincidenza, c'è un torneo indetto in quel di Ashford... Tra ideali romantici e tropes mantenuti e sovvertiti, conoscenze fortunate (e non), marionette, libellule, eroi leggendari e draghi, la prima novella (e le altre a seguire, c'è da dire) si rivela un vero e proprio capolavoro firmato da George R.R. Martin. Così tanto che ne abbiamo parlato troppo, ed è per questo che per oggi avrete solo la parte 1.

Casa Harlaw è una delle casate più potenti delle Isole di Ferro. Con una storia antica, dove sono stati re di sale, re di roccia e anche Alti Re delle Isole di Ferro, nella storia corrente governano indiscussi sull'omonima isola. Sono tanti, con diversi rami cadetti, e sembrano anche (quasi tutti, almeno) uniti, cosa che in certi tempi a Westeros sembra essere più unica che rara. Con i Greyjoy hanno un legame profondo: Alannys Harlaw è la moglie dell'ormai defunto Balon Greyjoy, e madre dei suoi figli. E il corrente lord di casata, Rodrik, ha sempre provato a consigliare il cognato con saggezza (farsi ascoltare è un'altra storia, ma è pur sempre di Balon che stiamo parlando).Ora come ora, gli Harlaw rappresentano una cosa, per il re delle Isole di Ferro nuovo di zecca, Euron Greyjoy: una minaccia. Innanzitutto, sono in prima linea per il sostegno della nipote Asha Greyjoy, nonostante l'abbia vinta lui, l'acclamazione di re, e l'ha pure fatta sposare per minare la sua pretesa al trono del mare. Lord Rodrik, chiamato "il Lettore" a causa del suo amore per la lettura (e la sua intelligenza) non si fa problemi a contraddirlo, anche davanti agli altri uomini di ferro, il suo erede Harras, detto "il Cavaliere", continua a distinguersi in battaglia, e rompere l'unità di casata si rivela un'impresa decisamente difficile.In questo episodio, andiamo ad analizzare la casata e i suoi personaggi di rilievo, per capire il loro ruolo in TWOW e oltre, e se davvero il timore che Euron Greyjoy prova nei loro confronti è giustificato.Art by Nacho Molina (Fantasy Flight Games)Link utili:1) https://www.reddit.com/r/asoiaf/comments/1eeyct6/spoilers_extended_house_harlaw_heraldry/2) https://goodqueenaly.tumblr.com/post/149750948653/house-words-wednesdays-house-harlaw3) https://www.reddit.com/r/asoiaf/comments/an7zzs/alannys_harlaw_is_the_key_to_theon_becoming_theon/4) https://www.reddit.com/r/asoiaf/comments/ny9f8x/spoilers_extended_the_true_tragedy_of_theon/5) https://www.tumblr.com/jedimaesteryoda/621817555746799616/the-reader-the-crows-eyes-true-nemesis6) https://www.reddit.com/r/asoiaf/comments/10ivab1/spoilers_extended_overturning_a_kingsmoot_rodrik/7) https://www.reddit.com/r/asoiaf/comments/k9dol7/spoilers_extended_rodrik_the_readers_role_in_twow/8) https://www.reddit.com/r/asoiaf/comments/68alwa/spoilers_extended_harras_the_heir_bend_beneath/9) https://www.reddit.com/r/asoiaf/comments/124mr3u/spoilers_extended_asha_the_heirs_of_harlaw/Supportate il canale in cambio di contenuti esclusivi: https://www.patreon.com/LaCittadellaQui trovate tutti i link del canale e dei suoi host: https://linktr.ee/LaCittadellaSupportate il canale in cambio di contenuti esclusivi: https://www.patreon.com/LaCittadellaQui trovate tutti i link del canale e dei suoi host: https://linktr.ee/LaCittadella
Continua il viaggio negli archivi segreti-non-tanto-segreti di George R.R. Martin, situati alla Cushing Library della Texas A&M University. Dopo AGOT e ACOK, è bene passare al terzo libro della saga, A Storm of Swords, Una Tempesta di Spade. Con cambiamenti decisamente più estesi delle due versioni precedenti, l'unica bozza di ASOS negli archivi, che risale a luglio del 1999, offre più modifiche stilistiche, e qualche insight sulla creazione degli Estranei, oltre a vedere semplicemente che cosa è cambiato e cosa no. Tra cavalieri misteriosi, Arya che potrebbe spoilerare a tutti parte della sua trama, le Nozze Rosse ancor più cruente (era possibile? A quanto pare sì) e creature fatte di ghiaccio che potrebbero o non potrebbero sciogliersi alle giuste condizioni, queste nuove bozze sono nuovamente in grado di farci entrare con facilità nella mente del nostro autore, per cercare nuovamente di capire il suo processo di scrittura.Art by Mintatuas SukysLink utili:1) https://www.reddit.com/r/asoiaf/comments/1bfeigu/spoilers_extended_secrets_of_the_cushing_library/Supportate il canale in cambio di contenuti esclusivi: https://www.patreon.com/LaCittadellaQui trovate tutti i link del canale e dei suoi host: https://linktr.ee/LaCittadellaSupportate il canale in cambio di contenuti esclusivi: https://www.patreon.com/LaCittadellaQui trovate tutti i link del canale e dei suoi host: https://linktr.ee/LaCittadella

Casa Hoare sembra essere uno dei simboli delle Isole di Ferro, una delle sue casate iconiche, una delle dinastie che ha governato per più tempo sulle isole... e non solo. Con figure iconiche come Qhored e Harwyn, i domini Hoare si sono espansi in luoghi che forse gli uomini di ferro non credevano possibile. Alcuni sono rispecchiati nel loro sigillo, altri nelle storie di ogni abitante delle Terre Verdi, e oltre. E in tutto questo, si mostrano tra i più grandi pionieri della Nuova Via, nonostante le condanne dei sacerdoti del Dio Abissale, rivoluzionando le isole... o almeno, provandoci. Ma c'è un altro lato, più oscuro, nella storia di Casa Hoare, uno fatto di guerre, conquiste, sangue nero e maledizioni, di sacrilegi nei pressi del luogo più sacro di Westeros, e di conflitti ancestrali... finché la fiamma del drago non ha posto fine alla dinastia.

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

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
