Apenas hace una semana que nos despedimos de la cuarta temporada de Juego de Tronos, la más vista, la más pirateada y la que más críticas ha levantado, y ya se la echa de menos. Nos quedan unos diez meses por delante que podemos ocupar en volver a ver la serie desde el principio, aprender dothraki, crear nuestra propia versión de la intro de la serie, jugar al Quién es Quién, montarnos un festín con las recetas de Poniente, (re)leer los libros o rezar para que George R. R. Martin se anima a publicar la próxima entrega de Canción de Hielo y Fuego. Pero si nada de esto te acaba de llenar, ahora también puedes volver a Poniente cuando quieras con Game of Thrones, A Pop-Up Guide to Westeros, un impresionante libro pop-up que reproduce el universo creado por Martin.
Matthew Reinhart, su autor, se inspiró en la secuencia de los títulos de crédito de la serie de la HBO, esa virguería creada por Angus Wall que varía en función de las localizaciones y los personajes que aparecen en cada episodio, y que a su vez se basaba en los mapas que preceden los libros de la saga.
El libro se compone de cinco desplegables —Desembarco del Rey, Hivernalia, Nido de las Aguilas, el Muro y Essos— con treinta y tres mini-pops de elementos icónicos de la serie y los libros como huargos, dragones, caminantes blancos, gigantes, Inmaculados, el trono de hierro y hasta la Puerta de la Luna. Cada uno de los desplegables viene acompañado por un pequeño texto explicativo para despistados o desconocedores de la rica historia de los Siete Reinos.
Por si esto no fuese suficiente, la obra viene acompañada por una guía —Unfolding the Map— con instrucciones detalladas que permiten convertir el libro en un gran mapa tridimensional de Poniente como se muestra en el vídeo que tenéis a continuación.
Game of Thrones, A Pop-Up Guide to Westeros actualmente cuesta 47’25 euros, un precio elevado pero que merece la pena pagar para tener en casa una obra tan fantástica como esta y sentirse como un westero cualquiera.
