He had grown frustrated that his TV pilots and screenplays were not getting made and that TV-related production limitations like budgets and episode lengths were forcing him to cut characters and trim battle scenes. This pushed Martin back towards writing books where he did not have to worry about compromising the size of his imagination. Admiring the works of J. R. R. Tolkien in his childhood he wanted to write an epic fantasy though he did not have any specific ideas. This would eventually turn into his epic fantasy series: A Song of Ice and Fire which was inspired by the Wars of the Roses The Accursed Kings and Ivanhoe. Martin originally conceptualised it as being three volumes. It is currently intended to comprise seven volumes. The first A Game of Thrones was published in 1996." .

Titre et fleurons dorés et gravés. Nom de l'auteur et annotation à la plume en page de titre. Plats et coins avec infimes frottis. Intérieur très frais. Rarissime tirage en date de 1774 mais qui reproduit apparemment l'édition originale. En effet, il n'est pas fait mention en page de titre de cette note : ...Nouvelle Edition, revue et corrigée par l'Auteur, qui a jugé à propos de refondre le Chapitre de la Bibliothèque du Roi et de plus il manque en fin d'ouvrage le chapitre intitulé : Supplément au chapitre de la bibliothèque du Roi tel qu’il étoit dans les précédentes éditions. Très bel état général pour cette Utopie, considérée comme l'un des tous premiers textes d'Anticipation. De toute rareté. Exemplaire enrichi d'une note manuscrite, explicative, rédigée en italien, sur feuille volante.
