Об авторе
Robert Ervin Howard (1906–1936) was an American author, hailing from Texas, who is particularly known for his contributions to the genre of sword and sorcery. He created the iconic character Conan the Barbarian, who has since become a staple in fantasy literature and popular culture. However, Howard’s creative reach extends beyond Conan, as evidenced by his less celebrated but equally compelling character, King Kull, whose tales are collected in the volume ‘KULL OF ATLANTIS — Complete Fantasy & Action-Adventure Series’. Kull, an Atlantean barbarian-turned-king, preceded Conan, and in many ways served as a prototype for the Cimmerian warrior. Howard’s writing is marked by its vibrant energy, vivid world-building, and a flair for blending action with a dark, brooding atmosphere. His stories often reflect themes of civilization versus barbarism, individualism, and the existential struggles of his protagonists. Despite his life being tragically short, with his suicide at the age of 30, Howard’s work has endured, influencing generations of fantasy writers and enthusiasts. His narrative style, characterized by a sense of mythic grandeur and the melancholic undercurrent of his characters’ fates, remains a significant touchstone within the genre of heroic fantasy literature. Howard’s creations, particularly through the lens of Kull, have been a gateway for many readers into the rich tapestry of sword and sorcery fiction.
