Autor

Robert Ervin Howard (January 22, 1906 - June 11, 1936) was a writer from the United States. He wrote a wide variety of pulp fiction in a variety of genres. He is considered as the father of the sword and sorcery subgenre, having invented the character Conan the Barbarian. Howard was born in Texas and raised there. He spent the majority of his life in Cross Plains, with some time spent in nearby Brownwood. He was a scholarly and intellectual boy who like boxing and spent some time in his late teens bodybuilding before taking up amateur boxing. He had an ambition of becoming an adventure fiction writer since he was nine years old, but he did not achieve true success until he was 23. Following that, until his suicide at the age of 30, Howard's writings were published in a variety of periodicals, journals, and newspapers, and he became adept in various subgenres. His greatest success came after he died. Howard's works were never collected during his lifetime, despite the fact that a Conan novel was nearly published in 1934. Weird Tales, where Howard developed Conan the Barbarian, was his major outlet for his stories.
