Conan
the Barbarian Quotes “No, he is a Cimmerian, one of those
wild tribesmen who dwell in the gray hills of the north.” "If you pay the ransom Ophir asks, men say you'll be unable
to pay us. In that case we might go over to the king of Koth, though
that cursed miser is no friend of mine. Or we might loot this city.
In a civil war the plunder is always plentiful." |

The Washington Post's Book World/washingtonpost.com:Today marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of Robert E. Howard (1906-1936), the creator of a blue-eyed Cimmerian fighting man, who wandered the ancient Hyborian age as a thief, pirate and mercenary, before finally seizing the royal throne of Aquilonia. In the course of many adventures, this axe and sword-wielding battle-machine was to encounter Stygian demons, a lonely being from another planet, vampiric witches and saturnine sorcerers who possess the elixir of life, a seraglio's worth of scantily clad slave girls, more than one haughty but secretly hot-blooded princess, and, not least, many, many, indeed hordes, of bloodthirsty, blood-crazed Picts, Kushites, Shemites, Vendhyans and Hyrkanians. Even more remarkably, this indomitable warrior earned the love of both Belit, the notorious corsair Queen of the Black Coast, and the deadly Valeria of the Red Brotherhood. Such a hero could obviously be no one but Conan, King Conan, Conan the Barbarian. This book is ecellent! ...................More! |
