THE INSPIRATION FOR HBO AND SKY'S HOUSE OF THE DRAGON Centuries
before A Game of Thrones, an even greater game began, one that set
the skies alight with dragon flame and saw the Seven Kingdoms
turned to ash. The thrilling history of the Targaryens comes to
life in George R.R. Martin's FIRE & BLOOD. So began the
Targaryens' bloody rule, with fire and blood. Setting brother
against brother, mother against daughter, and dragon against
dragon. Chronicled by a learned maester of the Citadel, this
thrilling and bloody history of Westeros tells the story of where
the battle for the Iron Throne began...
The Metaphor of the Monster offers fresh perspectives and a variety
of disciplinary approaches to the ever-broadening field of monster
studies. The eclectic group of contributors to this volume
represents areas of study not generally considered under the
purview of monster studies, including world literature, classical
studies, philosophy, ecocriticism, animal ethics, and gender
studies. Combining historical overviews with contemporary and
global outlooks, this volume recontextualizes the monstrous
entities that have always haunted the human imagination in the age
of the Anthropocene. It also invites reflection on new forms of
monstrosity in an era epitomized by an unprecedented deluge of
(mis)information. Uniting researchers from varied academic
backgrounds in a common effort to challenge the monstrous labels
that have historically been imposed upon "the Other," this book
endeavors above all to bring the monster out of the shadows and
into the light of moral consideration.
The puzzle of Bigfoot has been ongoing since the first white men
settled the West and heard stories from the Native population about
strange and elusive, large, hairy creatures. These stories have
endured to present day and eyewitnesses continue to come forward.
Unfortunately, no hard physical evidence has been produced.
In Search of Giants, gives accounts of sightings that have be
occurred over the last twenty years throughout western Canada and
the US. Many of these encounters have never been written about
before and all offer insight into this lasting mystery. This book
is sure to interest and intrigue even the most skeptical.
The dazzling companion volume to the bestselling MYTHOS. There are heroes - and then there are Greek heroes.
Few mere mortals have ever embarked on such bold and heart-stirring adventures, overcome myriad monstrous perils, or outwitted scheming vengeful gods, quite as stylishly and triumphantly as Greek heroes.
In this companion to his bestselling Mythos, Stephen Fry brilliantly retells these dramatic, funny, tragic and timeless tales. Join Jason aboard the Argo as he quests for the Golden Fleece. See Atalanta - who was raised by bears - outrun any man before being tricked with golden apples. Witness wily Oedipus solve the riddle of the Sphinx and discover how Bellerophon captures the winged horse Pegasus to help him slay the monster Chimera.
Heroes is the story of what we mortals are truly capable of - at our worst and our very best.
Dragons have captured the imagination of artists for aeons and
feature in the earliest myths, on the armour of medieval knights,
as well as in today's popular culture. In this new and improved
third edition, dragon aficionado and artist Lora Irish shares tips
and techniques for creating your own fantastic renderings of man's
favorite foe. Updated for this edition: brand new art for both
Eastern and Western dragons, a new gallery, sections on dragon
history, lore, and anatomy, and a newly added section on transfer
instructions for all applications, including fabric, wood, canvas,
and other materials.
