Autorenporträt
Robert Ervin Howard (1906–1936) was a seminal figure in the genre of sword and sorcery fantasy, with his most renowned creation being the character Conan the Barbarian. Born in Peaster, Texas, Howard spent most of his life in the small town of Cross Plains. His writing career was as intense as it was brief; Howard penned a vast array of stories before his untimely death at the age of 30. Howard's contribution to fantasy literature is marked by his narrative intensity, rich historical settings, and a combination of myth and history that would influence countless successors. 'Hawks of Outremer', while perhaps less famous than his Conan tales or Solomon Kane series, displays his characteristic flair for gripping action and historical sweep, set during the tumultuous era of the Crusades. Howard's works, encapsulating an array of genres from fantasy to historical adventure to horror, were primarily published in pulp magazines such as 'Weird Tales' and have since been gathered into various collections that have sustained his legacy within the literary world. His impact on the fantasy genre is enshrined in the Robert E. Howard Foundation which preserves his intellectual property and the Locus Award-winning biography 'Blood & Thunder: The Life & Art of Robert E. Howard' by Mark Finn.
