Conan is the famous fantasy character, hero of books, comics, films, and computer games. His creator is the American writer Robert Howard, one of the founders of “fantasy” and the originator of the now hugely popular “sword and sorcery” genre. The novel “Hour of the Dragon” is Howard’s best-known work from the Conan series.
…Cruel battles and bloody clashes, spells and curses, conspiracies and incantations, wizards and demons, monstrous beasts and savage dragons. And the stern warrior, born in the snowy mountains of mysterious Cimmeria—a mighty barbarian with steel muscles and a bare sword in his hand, fearless and invincible giant named Conan. He has gone the path from a greedy seeker of profit, to a crude thug, a pirate and adventurer—until he became an experienced commander tempered by power. Now he is the king of the greatest Hyborian state—Aquilonia.
