Despre autor
Robert Ervin Howard (1906–1936) was an American author of pulp fiction, who is best remembered for creating the genre-defining character, Conan the Barbarian. Delving into the realms of sword and sorcery, Howard crafted tales that combined elements of fantasy, history, and adventure, often set in his imagined Hyborian Age. Born in the small town of Peaster, Texas, Howard possessed a talent for storytelling from a young age and began writing professionally in his teens. His tales often emphasized the themes of naturalism, the conflict between civilization and barbarism, and the existential struggles of his protagonists. 'Almuric', penned by Howard, transports the reader to an alien world filled with strange beasts and primitive societies, exemplifying his ability to weave otherworldly narratives with rip-roaring action. Although his career was short-lived, ending with his untimely death at the age of 30, Howard's work has had a significant impact on the fantasy genre and has influenced numerous authors that followed. His storytelling legacy lives on through the continued popularity of his characters and the ongoing adaptations of his works in various media.
