Tolkien takes us to Middle-earth to experience a battle of good and evil with dwarves (矮人), fairies (精灵) and wizards (巫师). And A Song of Ice and Fire (《冰与火之歌》), a series of novels by US author George R.R. Martin, invites us to another fictional world where powerful families compete to win the most important throne (王座) of all. 奇幻小说可以说是通往魔幻世界的入场券。J.R.R.托尔金的《指环王》将我们带入中土世界，去体验矮人、精灵与巫师之间的正邪之战。而美国作家乔治·R·R·马丁所著的《冰与火之歌》系列小说则邀请我们前往另一个虚构世界，在那里，几大权贵家族争夺着最尊贵的王座。 Today, most people know Martin’s work by the name of the first book, Game of Thrones (《权力的游戏》), since it is also the name of the famous TV series.

Too many viewers understood the difficult situation of the cancer-stricken (罹患癌症的) science teacher Walter White. He turned to crime (犯罪) because he couldn’t afford his hospital bills. BBC记者肯·塔克对此做出了恰当的回答：正是逃避主义让这部剧获得成功。这一特质将其与近年来的其他电视剧区分开来。以《绝命毒师》为例。这是一部高品质的电视剧，但却缺乏逃避主义。有太多的观众理解罹患癌症的化学老师沃特·怀特的艰难处境。他因为付不起医疗费，而走向了犯罪。 In Game of Thrones, however, there is what TV writer Josue Cardona called the huge attraction of “world-building”: “The show is super complex (复杂的), with so many characters”. Viewers love the sense that they are being invited to build another world in their minds. 然而，在《权力的游戏》中，存在着电视剧编剧
