The Hyborian Age (An Article)

More about the book

Set in the mythical Hyborian Age, this article explores the historical backdrop of Conan the Cimmerian, a character created by Robert E. Howard. Born in Texas in 1906, Howard drew inspiration from the violent myths of the Old South and began writing at a young age. His foray into pulp fiction led to the creation of Conan, who became a defining figure in the 'sword and sorcery' genre through his adventures in Weird Tales. This republished work includes a new introductory biography that delves into Howard's life and literary impact.
