“My mind is my weapon. My brother has his
sword, King Robert has his warhammer, and I have my mind . .
. and a mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone if it
is to keep its edge.”
The jealous masses of the Seven Kingdoms may call him
Halfman, but none have ever accused Tyrion Lannister of being
a halfwit. His golden tongue has saved his skin slightly more
often than it has landed him in mortal peril. Now, this
special illustrated volume preserves his most essential
knowledge for future generations, featuring time-tested
guidance on such varied subjects as . . .
The art of persuasion
“The best lies are seasoned with a bit of
truth.”
Fine dining
“A little honest loathing can be refreshing,
like a tart wine after too much sweet.”
The fair sex
“The young ones smell much better, but the old
ones know more tricks.”
Royal politics
“Crowns do queer things to the heads beneath
them.”
Common ailments
“A sword through the bowels. A sure cure for
constipation.”
At once charming, insightful, and ruthlessly
irreverent,
The Wit & Wisdom of Tyrion Lannister is short on
pretense and overflowing with finely crafted gems—just
like the man himself.
