As long as Tolkien

When you mention the epic fantasy first association interphase that comes to mind is John Ronald Tolkien Rejel, the originator of the genre, and by far the most famous writer of epic fantasy world. It was, before Tolkien, the novel that represented the genre, but it was Tolkien's work paved the way and created a favorable climate for breakthrough epic fantasy in the world of literature. Given the subject interphase matter and scenery that accompanies epic fiction full of knights, knight tournaments, fairies, elves, dwarves, dragons, basilisk, lions ... no more ideal and more fertile soil for heraldry.
Today there are many writers who are dedicated to this genre, some more successful than others, but all together represent a large community with many admirers and fans seem envious of the global audience. For this must epskofantastičnih writer would mention George Raymond Richard interphase Martin, with similar initials but significantly different style from the creator of the genre g. Tolkien. But not only because of his literary talent, it aside and the use of heraldry in their works, especially that I mean his series "Song of Ice and Fire," which is currently in the fifth volume of the imaginary seven.
As long as Tolkien's story almost black and white for its ethical and moral message, clearly izdefinisanih characters and character, the point is Martin's saga all in shades interphase of human character and misery that the reality paintings in the proceedings of the characters. The appeal of Martin's novel is the unpredictability interphase of actions and events, just as it is in real life. By reading Tolkien for the first time, the reader at no time out of the temptation interphase to doubt a positive outcome or a happy ending. With Martin would not be quite so sure. I will not forget my astonishment when one of the main characters loses his life in a chain of events from which to him every other writer out. Taking over the course of the story, which is unusual Martin makes the act of considerable courage. I'm not going to comment interphase on that masterly storytelling like a spider who weaves his net, Martin enchants its readers interphase and into the world of dragons, cults, and ancient religions, the knights, ancient kingdoms, legends whose roots are not discernible in the nebula back in history, courtly intrigue, dynastic struggles, countless adventures seemingly without end. Martin's story is not very original, like all epskofantastičnih novel, the story is set in the fictional country of reminiscent of medieval Europe. Originality in storytelling and crafts that are so unexpected that the reader just can not drop the book from his hand as he would not have missed something. The lack of the main character is also very distinctive interphase element of Martin's work.
"Song of Ice and Fire" takes place in a fictional world, most of the action is located in the continent, which is called Västerås as the west side of the fictional world and the ESOS, continent to the east. Most of the characters are men, but there are things that are so-called escalating Aliens. the living dead who live in the far north of Westeros interphase behind the building called the Great Wall, a wall made of ice to Tuđin and Geology, uncivilized and free the people from the cold north, from entering into the Kingdom of Westeros. In the east, the dragons, which are considered interphase to have been eradicated by humans. Parallel running three main flow of the story: chronicle of the struggle for the throne of the United Kingdom after the death of Vasteras current king in hunting accident, the growing threat of the Alien and slowly advancing the pretender to the throne of the United Kingdom from the Targaryen family which was thought to be extinct and dragons with which they blood-related. Targaryen interphase are some 300 years ago and won under his rule united all the kingdoms of Westeros doletevši the dragons of the ancient land Valirije to losing the throne due to the rebellion caused by unreasonable government poluludog king. Understandably, the flow of the story at one point and interwoven plot becomes extremely complex, requiring full concentration interphase of the reader.
Heraldry of Westeros is highly developed and rich. The writer knows the rules of blazon and emblazonirao interphase is correct heraldic emblems of royal and noble families. Pay attention to the symbolism of the batch used in the coats of arms of his heroes. Foreign currency means a summary of his philosophy interphase Armigers. Descriptions of weddings and funerals as they are taken from some heraldic tutorials.
Targaryen dragons are blood descendants of the great lords of the ancient city Valirije, and this heritage interphase can be seen in the blinding (some say inhuman) beauty, purple or indigo eyes and srebrnozlatnoj interphase or platinastobeloj hair. They settled on Zmajkamenu, interphase a rocky island in the narrow sea, escaping from destruction and chaos and Valirije krvoprlića that followed.
