George R.R. Martin anuncia "Lil Thrones": Game of Thrones versão desenho animado
infantil
De Vitória Pratini ▪ terça-feira, 14 de abril de 2015 - 10h00
Prévia da série animada apresenta nudez e matança... Calma, é brincadeira!
Está todo mundo animado que a quinta temporada de Game of Thrones começou no último
domingo. Uma etapa já passou mas e o novo livro?!
George R.R. Martin ainda não terminou de escrevê-lo, o que está deixando os leitores bastante
irritados. Para aliviar a tensão, ele fez uma supresinha para os fãs: anunciou no programa do
Conan O'Brien uma série de desenhos animados para crianças, baseada no mundo de
Westeros e chamada de "Lil Thrones" ("Pequenos Tronos", na tradução).
A prévia da animação apresentou os personagens de Game of Thrones com uma musiquinha
bem chiclete: "Pequenos tronos, pequenos tronos, estamos nos divertindo muito... matando
todo mundo...".
George R. R. Martin nasceu em Bayonne, Nova Jérsei, filho de um estivador, cuja família de
classa operária vivia perto das docas de Bayonne. Quando jovem, ele se tornou um leitor ávido
de quadrinhos de superheróis. A edição de novembro de 1968 do Quarteto Fantástico possui
uma nota ao editor que Martin escreveu quando ainda estava na escola. Ele credita a atenção
que ele recebeu com a carta, junto com seu interesse em quadrinhos, como sua inspiração
para se tornar escritor. Em 1970, Martin recebeu sue Bacharelado em jornalismo na
Universidade Northwestern, Illinois, se formando com muitos elogios. Ele depois completou
um Mestrado em jornalismo, também em Northwestern, em 1971.
Martin começou a escrever contos de ficção científica no começo da década de 1970, apesar
de o início de sua carreira não ter sido fácil (uma de suas histórias foi rejeitada por diferentes
revistas 42 vezes), ele nunca se desencorajou; anos depois ele venceria seu primeiro Hugo
Award e Nebula Award por um de seus contos.

quotes
“All fiction needs to reflect reality. Fiction is lies . . . . But it has to have a truth at the core of
it.”
—George R. R. Martin
Synopsis
Born in 1948, fantasy writer George R. R. Martin grew up in Bayonne, New Jersey. He
developed a love for writing early on. His first novel, Dying of the Light, debuted in
1977. In 1996, he published his first installment of the A Song of Ice and Fire series.
Martin became a best-selling author in 2005 with the fourth title A Feast for Crows and
again in 2011 with the fifth A Dance with Dragons.
Early Life
A leading fantasy author, George R. R. Martin grew up in Bayonne, New Jersey where
his world "was five blocks long." He may have spent his early years never straying far
from home, but his imagination seemed to take him places. The oldest of three children,
Martin liked to watch offbeat and suspenseful television shows, such as Thriller and
The Twilight Zone.
The son of a longshoreman, Martin started writing in elementary school. He sold
monster stories to other kids in his working-class neighborhood. During his high school
years, Martin moved on to other subjects. He started writing fan fiction based on the
comic books he adored and began creating new superheroes as well. At Marist High
School, a Catholic boys school, Martin played on the chess team and spent several years
on the school's newspaper. After graduating in 1966, he went to Northwestern
University where he continued to pursue his passion for writing. He earned first a
bachelor's degree in journalism in 1970 and then a master's degree in the same subject
the following year.
A conscientious objector during the Vietnam War, Martin worked with the Cook
County Legal Assistance Foundation as part of his alternative service from 1973 to
1976. He then spent two years as a college professor at Clarke College in Dubuque,
Iowa.
Career Beginnings
Martin sold his first short story, "The Hero," to Galaxy, a science fiction magazine,
which was published in 1971. Continuing to write short stories, he released a collection
of his tales as A Song for Lya and Others in 1976. His debut novel, Dying of the Light,
came out the following year. Martin also served as an editor on numerous book projects,
including New Voices in Science Fiction (1977) and the Wild Cards series.
While he became well regarded in the fantasy and science fiction worlds, Martin had yet
to achieve a huge commercial success by the 1980s. He did, however, attract some
attention from Hollywood. He worked as story editor for a remake of the old favorite
Twilight Zone in 1986, and then became involved with the series Beauty and the Beast.
Writing for television posed certain challenges for Martin. "Whenever I would turn in a
script, the producers would always say to me: George, this is wonderful, but it would
cost five times our budget to produce it," he said in a National Public Radio interview.
Weary of the limitations of television, Martin embarked on a new writing project in the
early 1990s—a fantasy series inspired by medieval England's Wars of the Roses.

A Song of Ice and Fire
The first installment of A Song of Ice and Fire may not have been an overnight success,
but the strong word of mouth boosted sales as the series progressed. By the fourth
volume, 2005's A Feast for Crows, Martin found his work at the top of the best-sellers
list. His books were introduced to an even larger audience with the critically acclaimed
television adaptation of Game of Thrones, which debuted in 2011. Later that year,
Martin published the fifth title in the series, A Dance with Dragons. Eager fans from
around the world snapped up the new book, creating yet another best-selling novel.
While often compared to J. R. R. Tolkien, Martin writes a grittier, earthier type of
fantasy fiction than the man who created The Lord of the Rings. Martin's Westeros is
mainly populated by humans who live morally complex lives and follow their own
agendas. And his plots are masterfully handled, much like the game of chess he so
enjoys. As one critic wrote, "Martin is a literary dervish, enthralled by complicated
characters and vivid language, and bursting with the wild vision of the very best tale
tellers."
As an author, Martin has also shown no mercy to his characters, killing off main
characters and other favorites unexpectedly. Martin feels that he has "a certain moral
obligation" to reflect the reality of war in his fantasy tales. "People die in wars. People
get maimed in wars, and many of them are good, likable people who you would like to
not see die," Martin once explained.
Personal Life
Martin lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico, with his wife, Parris McBride. He was
previously married to Gale Burnick, from 1975 to 1979.
