The story of two rude, eccentric, greedy and selfish adventurers, the barbarian northerner Fafhrd and the cunning thief-citizen Gray Mouser. This couple is not going to save the world, unless, of course, they get paid for it. They wander through life in search of thrills, money, revenge and love affairs. This series is a mockery of the classic adventure heroic fantasy in the style of Robert E. Howard. The action of the cycle takes place in the magical world of Nivon, the center of which is the great city of Lankhmar (it was parodied by Pratchett in the form of Ankh-Morpork). The novels and stories are written with a fair amount of humor, and are one of the most famous epics of “heroic fantasy.”
