Autorenporträt

Robert Ervin Howard was a seminal figure in the creation of the sword and sorcery subgenre of fantasy literature, with the Conan the Barbarian series being among his most celebrated works. Born on January 22, 1906, in Peaster, Texas, Howard spent most of his life in the small town of Cross Plains. Howard had a prolific writing career before his untimely death by suicide on June 11, 1936, at the age of 30. His writings are characterized by vivid descriptions, a brisk pacing, and a flair for adventure that seized the imaginations of his readers. The action-adventure classics of the Conan series showcase a hero who combines strength, intelligence, and a moral code that sets him apart from other characters of his time. Conan the Barbarian has since become an iconic figure in fantasy literature and has been adapted into films, television series, and comic books, perpetuating Howard's legacy. The complete collection of Conan stories, published posthumously, solidified Howard's position as one of the preeminent fantasy authors of the early 20th century, influencing generations of writers and establishing the standards of the sword and sorcery genre. Howard's contribution to fantasy literature remains an enduring testament to his imagination and storytelling prowess.
