The character was created by writer Robert E. Howard in via a series of fantasy stories published in Weird Tales magazine. Conan is a Cimmerian. He was born on a battlefield and is the son of a village blacksmith. Conan matured quickly as a youth and, by age fifteen, he was already a respected warrior who had participated in the destruction of the Aquilonian outpost of Venarium. After its demise, he was struck by wanderlust and began the adventures chronicled by Howard, encountering skulking monsters, evil wizards, tavern wenches, and beautiful princesses.
He roamed throughout the Hyborian Age nations as a thief, outlaw, mercenary, and pirate. As he grew older, he began commanding larger units of men and escalating his ambitions. In his forties, he seized the crown of the tyrannical king of Aquilonia, the most powerful kingdom of the Hyborian Age, having strangled the previous ruler on the steps of the throne.
Conan's adventures often result in him performing heroic feats, though his motivation for doing so is largely to protect his own survival or for personal gain. Rider Haggard Dearest by H. Nesbit Wings in the Night by Robert E. Howard The Wonderful Visit by H. Nesbit The Witch of Prague by F.

Conan the Barbarian Robert E. Today his name is synonymous with the epic battles of ancient times, but Conan originated in the early decades of the twentieth century with one of the founding fathers of fantasy, the visionary Robert E.
The unforgettable stories collected here form a thrilling adventure, following Conan from his mercenary youth to his bloody conquests on the frontier and even the high seas. Bold and enduring, the legend of Conan the Barbarian continues to grow in popularity and influence.
From the Paperback edition. Howard created more than the greatest action hero of the twentieth century—he also launched a genre that came to be known as sword and sorcery. A hunger in his soul drove him on and on, an urge to right all wrongs, protect all weaker things. Wayward and restless as the wind, he was consistent in only one respect—he was true to his ideals of justice and right. Such was Solomon Kane. Together they constitute a sprawling epic of weird fantasy adventure that stretches from sixteenth-century England to remote African jungles where no white man has set foot.

Another rip-roaring tale from the pen of master sword-and-sorcery storyteller, Robert E. Howard In a meteoric career that spanned a mere twelve years, Robert E. Much more than simply the prototype for Conan, Kull is a fascinating character in his own right: The stories are presented just as Howard wrote them, with all subsequent editorial emendations removed.
Also included are previously unpublished stories, drafts, and fragments, plus extensive notes on the texts, an introduction by Howard authority Steve Tompkins, and an essay by noted editor Patrice Louinet. Howard had a gritty, vibrant style—broadsword writing that cut its way to the heart, with heroes who are truly larger than life.
