This is another collection of material from Amra, the early Conan fanzine.It includes scraps of material by Robert Howard, the author of the original Conan stories, articles about Howard, articles about other fantasy writers of roughly his era (E.R Eddison --a piece describing the characters in The Wormm Ouroboros as "amoral supermen" which they definitely were not--consider Lord Juss's rejection of Gro's proposal for treachery, and Corund's acceptance of it --there was a clear distinction between the heroes and even the best of the villains, which Corund clearly was. -- Edgar Rice Burroughs (as influenced by theosophy), A. Merrit, James Branch Cabell (chiefly on Jurgen --my personal favorite of his books is Domnei), T.H. White (The Sword in the Stone/Once and Future King sequence)., practical insights in creating sword and sorcery heroes,such as "Weapons of Choice and Necessity is a series of articles debating what weapons a hero should carry. There is also an article on ocean Trade in the Hyborian Age which maintains Howard's description is unrealisitc, which I disagree with (I think it is very like trade off the coast of 15th century Africa). The book concludes withe"Infra History of the Hyborian Age" also printed elsewhere as background to some of the Conan story collections. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
