THE NEVER-BEFORE-SEEN HISTORY OF WESTEROS AND THE LANDS BEYOND WITH HUNDREDS OF PAGES OF ALL-NEW MATERIAL FROM GEORGE R. R. MARTIN If the past is prologue, then George R. R. Martin’s masterwork—the most inventive and entertaining fantasy saga of our time—warrants one hell of an introduction. At long last, it has arrived with The World of Ice & Fire . This lavishly illustrated volume is a comprehensive history of the Seven Kingdoms, providing vividly constructed accounts of the epic battles, bitter rivalries, and daring rebellions that lead to the events of A Song of Ice and Fire and HBO’s Game of Thrones . In a collaboration that’s been years in the making, Martin has teamed with Elio M. García, Jr., and Linda Antonsson, the founders of the renowned fan site Westeros.org—perhaps the only people who know this world almost as well as its visionary creator. Collected here is all the accumulated knowledge, scholarly speculation, and inherited folk tales of maesters and septons, maeg

(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed) Franz Kafka's imagination so faroutstripped the forms and conventions of the literary tradition heinherited that he was forced to turn that tradition inside out inorder to tell his splendid, mysterious tales. Scrupulouslynaturalistic on the surface, uncanny in their depths, these storiesrepresent the achieved art of a modern master who had the gift ofmaking our problematic spiritual life palpable and real. Thisedition of his stories includes all his available shorter fictionin a collection edited, arranged, and introduced by GabrielJosipovici in ways that bring out the writer's extraordinary rangeand intensity of vision.

(Book Jacket Status: Jacketed) Evelyn Waugh's short stories arethe marvelous, concentrated riffs of his comic genius, revealing inminiaturized perfection all the elements that made him the greatestcomic writer of our century. We find in them Waugh's almostsuperhuman technical skill as a writer and his quicksilverattentiveness to the minutiae of human absurdity, as well as hisworldly knowledge, his tenderness, his perceptive compassion, andhis sophisticated, disabused, but nevertheless forceful idealism.The thirty-nine stories collected here include such smallmasterpieces as "Mr. Loveday's Little Outing" and "Scott-King'sModern Europe"; an alternative ending to Waugh's novel "A Handfulof Dust"; a "missing chapter" in the life of Charles Ryder, thehero of "Brideshead Revisited"; and two linked stories, remnants ofan abandoned novel that Waugh considered his best writing. Thisedition contains the original illustrations to "Love Among theRuins," as well as more than thirty graphics produced by the authoras an Ox
