Autor

Robert Ervin Howard (1906-1936) was an American author, largely credited with creating the sword and sorcery subgenre within fantasy literature. His most famous creation, Conan the Barbarian, is a seminal figure in the realm of fantasy, emblematic of the genre's penchant for muscle-bound heroes, swashbuckling adventures, and mythical settings. Born in Peaster, Texas, Howard's literary career was influenced by the rugged landscapes of his home state and the historical narratives he consumed voraciously during his formative years. Howard's corpus, particularly the Conan stories, collected comprehensively in 'Conan The Barbarian - All 20 Books in One Edition,' demonstrates his mastery in crafting richly imagined worlds, rife with conflict, magic, and ancient lore. Howard's literary style was characterized by vivid descriptions, a fast-paced narrative, and an undercurrent of existential philosophy. While his life was tragically cut short by suicide at the age of 30, Howard's influence endures, and his works are still celebrated for their contributions to fantasy literature and their impact on the creation of 'high fantasy' alongside contemporaries such as J.R.R. Tolkien. Howard's storytelling prowess has earned him a place in the pantheon of fantasy literature, with Conan the Barbarian remaining a cultural icon, continuing to inspire adaptations in film, television, comics, and role-playing games.
