Conan the Barbarian

The hero of a series of short stories, novellas and one novel by pulp fiction author Robert E. Howard (1906-1936). Conan is a wandering swordsman whose travels take him into improbable adventures with scheming wizards and lusty wenches. The stories take place on Earth, in pre-Atlantean times. These stories pretty much gave birth to the term sword and sorcery for a certain kind of fantasy tale. Learn more about Howard at rehoward.com.

"I was born in the Cimmerian hills where the people are all barbarians. I have been a mercenary soldier, a corsair, a kozak, and a hundred other things. What king has roamed the countries, fought the battles, loved the women, and won the plunder that I have?"
