Gods of Thrones: Vol. 2: A Pilgrim's Guide to the Religions of Ice and Fire - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Was Tyrion a time-traveling fetus? Is Arya a religious convert? Is Jaqen H'ghar a genie? What can Chinese dragon mythology tell about Dany's endgame? Is Bran a god? These are just a few of the questions answered in Gods of Thrones, vol. 2. Applying the study of religion and myth, this book offers a fresh take on the religious landscape of Ice and Fire.

"Gods of Thrones Vol. 2” masterfully plumbs the depths of the ancient mythologies and premodern rituals, beliefs, and practices that inspire the lore of the old gods and the theology of the new—and everything in between. Inherently accessible and compulsively readable, Hubbard and Le Donne offer up a new and fascinating lens through which to view the competing and overlapping belief systems that undergird Westeros—and threaten its demise."
