Sobre l'autor

Robert Ervin Howard (1906–1936) was an American author of pulp fiction, best known for creating the character Conan the Barbarian and thus helping spawn the sword and sorcery genre. Howard was born in Peaster, Texas, and spent most of his life in the state, finding inspiration in its vast landscapes and history. His work often reflects a mythic ethos and a fascination with the barbaric, encapsulated in tales set in a variety of invented locales, like the pseudo-historical Hyborian Age. Howard's writing is characterized by a distinctly vigorous prose, melding history and a powerful imagination, with themes that frequently revolve around the inherent violence and chaos of humanity. His stories usually highlight the futility of civilization and the triumph of raw strength and instinct. This perspective is starkly visible in 'Black Canaan' (1936), a work that skews towards horror and delves into the deep racial tensions and primal fears of his time. While Howard's life was tragically cut short by suicide at the age of 30, his legacy endures, and his creations continue to influence modern fantasy literature and popular culture. Many of Howard's works have been adapted into comic books, movies, and TV series, making him an enduring figure in genre fiction.
