Robert E. Howard

The Iron Man (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The Iron Man has fought since time immemorial -- with but one thought in mind -- to get to his foe and crush him. The centuries, the costumes, the weapons are different. The object is the same. The gore and savagery of Howard's tales of the ring is little removed from those exploits of Conan and Kull and Bran Mak Morn.It is common knowledge that Robert E. Howard was a boxing enthusiast, and his fellow author H. P. Lovecraft tied Howard's interest in sports directly to his "love of primitive conflict and strength.."In The Iron Man are three of Howard's best tales of the ring -- certainly tales of primitive conflict and strength which are collected in book form for the first time.

Autorenporträt

Robert Ervin Howard was an American writer born on January 22, 1906, in Peaster, Texas. Known for his prolific work in pulp fiction, he created iconic characters, most notably Conan the Barbarian, and is considered the father of the sword and sorcery subgenre. Raised in Texas, Howard wrote across a variety of genres, including horror, fantasy, and adventure, often weaving complex narratives involving mythological creatures, dark magic, and heroic struggles. His writing was influenced by authors such as H. P. Lovecraft and Clark Ashton Smith. Despite his early death at the age of 30 on June 11, 1936, in Cross Plains, Texas, Howard's impact on genre fiction was profound. His works have inspired countless writers, filmmakers, and artists, cementing his legacy within fantasy and pulp literature. His parents were Hester Jane Ervin Howard and Isaac Mordecai Howard, and Howard's creative output, especially his Conan stories, has continued to captivate audiences long after his untimely death. Howard's poems, like "Singers in the Shadows" and "Always Comes Evening," also reflect his talent for evoking vivid imagery and emotion.
