Robert E. Howard's writing career spanned twelve years, but in such a short period of time he managed to give world literature the sword and sorcery genre, as well as the Cimmerian Conan, beloved by millions of readers, and several other great heroes. The last five were included in this collection stories about Conan, created by Howard himself, including the stories “The Black Stranger” and “The Cannibals of Zambula” translated by the famous writer Maria Semyonova.
