The Solomon Kane Collection
Print on DemandSeller: BuchWeltWeit Ludwig Meier e.K., Bergisch Gladbach, Germany
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -The Solomon Kane Collection gathers Robert E. Howard's brooding tales of a wandering Puritan swordsman who pursues evil across Europe and Africa with relentless moral intensity. Combining historical adventure, Gothic horror, and early sword-and-sorcery, these stories move in a stark, incantatory prose style shaped by pulp magazine urgency and archaic biblical resonance. Kane's world is one of haunted ruins, sorcery, imperial violence, and spiritual trial, placing the collection within the vibrant interwar tradition of Weird Tales while anticipating later dark fantasy. Robert E. Howard, the Texas-born creator of Conan the Barbarian, was fascinated by frontier violence, lost civilizations, and the clash between barbarism and decadence. His own sense of isolation, his voracious reading of history, and his attraction to stern codes of personal honor all inform Kane's character. Unlike Conan, Kane is driven not by appetite but by conscience, making him one of Howard's most morally austere and psychologically compelling creations. This collection is highly recommended to readers interested in the origins of modern fantasy, supernatural adventure, and pulp literature at its most intense. It offers not only gripping storytelling but also a revealing portrait of Howard's evolving imagination. 128 pp. Englisch. Seller Inventory # 9788028337797
