(3.79) | Keine | No Description Available Robert Ervin Howard (January 22, 1906 - June 11, 1936) was a classic American pulp writer of fantasy, horror, historical adventure, boxing, western, and detective fiction. Howard wrote "over three-hundred stories and seven-hundred poems of raw power and unbridled emotion" and is especially noted for his memorable depictions of "a sombre universe of swashbuckling adventure and darkling horror."He is well known for having created - in the pages of the legendary Depression-era pulp magazine Weird Tales - the character Conan the Cimmerian, a.k.a. Conan the Barbarian, a literary icon whose pop-culture imprint can be compared to such icons as Tarzan of the Apes, Sherlock Holmes, and James Bond.Between Conan and his other heroes Howard created the genre now known as sword-and-sorcery in the late 1920s and early 1930s, spawning a wide swath of imitators and giving him an influence in the fantasy field rivaled only by J.R.R. Tolkien and Tolkien's similarly inspired creation of the modern genre of High Fantasy. There is no evidence that Tolkien was influenced by the earlier author, however.A full century after his birth, Howard remains a seminal figure, with his best work endlessly reprinted. He has been compared to other American masters of the weird, gloomy, and spectral, such as Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville, and Jack London.Source: Wikipedia… (mehr) |

Buchbeschreibung |
Rufias Interesse an Conan scheint vermutlich nicht länger angehalten zu haben als der Erlös aus dem Beutegut, das sie von Asgalun mitnahmen. Es könnte auch sein, daß der Cimmerier sie gegen ein besseres Pferd eintauschte, ehe er sich unter Amalric von Nemedien verdingte, dem Söldnergeneral der Prinzessin Yasmela aus dem kleinen Grenzkönigreich Khoraja. Hier steigt er schnell zum Rang eines Hauptmanns auf. Yasmelas Bruder, der König von Khoraja, wird in Ophir gefangengehalten, während Nomadentruppen unter der Führung des geheimnisvollen Zauberers Nataokh die Landesgrenzen bedrohen. | |
