YOU WIN OR YOU DIE: THE ANCIENT WORLD OF GAME OF THRONES
Book ID/图书代码： 06545016B96036
English Summary/英文概要： If the Middle Ages form the present-day backdrop to the continents of Westeros and Essos, then antiquity is their resonant past. The Known World is haunted by the remnants of distant and powerful civilizations, without whose presence the novels of George R. R. Martin and the ever popular HBO show would lose much of their meaning and appeal. In this essential sequel to Carolyne Larrington’s Winter is Coming: The Medieval World of Game of Thrones, Ayelet Haimson Lushkov explores the echoes, from the Summer Islands to Storm’s End, of a rich antique history. She discusses, for example, the convergence of ancient Rome and the reach, scope, and might of the Valyrian Freehold. She shows how the wanderings of Tyrion Lannister replay the journeys of Odysseus and Aeneas. She suggests that the War of the Five Kings resembles the War of the Four Emperors (68-69 AD). She also demonstrates just how the Wall and the Wildlings advancing on it connect with Hadrian’s bulwark against fierce tribes of Picts. This book reveals the remarkable extent to which the entire Game of Thrones universe is animated by its ancient past
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 如果中世纪是维斯特洛大陆和埃索斯大陆今天的背景，那么古代就是它们的共同的过去。已知的世界被遥远而强大的文明遗迹所困扰，如果没有它们的存在，乔治•马丁的小说和HBO电视台一直很受欢迎的电视剧将失去很多意义和吸引力。在这部卡洛琳•拉林顿的《冬天来了:权力的游戏的中世纪世界》的重要续集中，阿耶莱特•海姆森•卢希科夫探索了从夏季岛屿到暴风之末丰富的古代历史的回声。例如，她讨论了古罗马的融合以及瓦雷利亚自由权的范围和威力。她向我们展示了提利昂•兰尼斯特的漂泊如何重演奥德修斯和埃涅阿斯的旅程。她认为五王之战类似于四帝之战(公元68-69年)。她还展示了如何与哈德良的堡垒连接起来的城墙和野人推进它对抗激烈的皮克特部落。这本书揭示了整个《权力的游戏》世界在多大程度上是由其古老的过去所塑造的。（WYL）
