ALL MEN MUST DIE - CAROLYNE LARRINGTON KARTONIE...

'All men must die': or 'Valar Morghulis'  as the traditional Essos greeting is rendered in High
Valyrian. And die they do - in prodigious numbers  in imaginatively varied and gruesome ways 
and often in terror within the viciously unpredictable world that is HBO's sensational
evocation of Game of Thrones. Epic in scope and in imaginative breadth  the stories that are
brought to life tell of the dramatic rise and fall of nations  the brutal sweeping away of old
orders and the advent of new autarchs in the eternal quest for dominion. Yet  as this book
reveals  many potent and intimate narratives of love and passion can be found within these
grand landscapes of heroism  honour and death. They focus on strong relationships between women
and family  as well as among the anti-heroes  the 'cripples  bastards and broken things'. In
this vital follow-up to Winter Is Coming (2015)  acclaimed medievalist Carolyne Larrington
explores themes of power  blood-kin  lust and sex in order to draw entirely fresh meanings out
of the show of the century.
