80+ ADVENTURE TALES OF ROBERT E. HOWARD - The Ultimate Action-Packed Collection (eBook)

Robert Ervin Howard (1906–1936) was an American author of pulp fiction, who single-handedly conceived the genre of sword and sorcery. His writing career began at a time when pulp magazines were a cornerstone of American popular literature, and he became an enduring icon of the genre, best known for creating the character Conan the Barbarian. Howard's works, infused with a robust and archaic prose style, often reflect themes of barbarism versus civilization and are marked by a distinct sense of adventure. The collection '80+ ADVENTURE TALES OF ROBERT E. HOWARD - The Ultimate Action-Packed Collection' offers readers a comprehensive journey through his most thrilling stories. His contributions to literature extend beyond Conan, including other memorable characters such as Solomon Kane, Kull of Atlantis, and Bran Mak Morn. Despite a career that spanned only 12 years - cut short by his tragic suicide at the age of 30 - Howard's output was prolific and his influence on the fantasy genre is still celebrated. His literary legacy is evident in the continued popularity of his characters and stories, inspiring generations of writers and artists. Howard's work also mirrors the cultural ethos of early 20th-century America, grappling with issues of heroism, masculinity, and the valorization of a bygone age.
