Conan el guerrero pdf

Once again there's an ancient temple and kingdom in the middle of the jungle and Conan finds himself battling a hideous race of monstrous underground men-things. There's a demon-sorcerer summoning ancient beasts from the night forests - Conan must contend with sabre-toothed tigers, panthers, even a ghostly snake. One of his allies in this is Slasher, a fierce dog and who wouldn't want him as a pet? It was some shambling horror spawned in the mysterious, nameless jungles of the south, where strange life teemed in the reeking rot without the dominance of man, and drums thundered in temples that had never known the tread of a human foot.

Ah, Conan. I have always liked Conan, and I haven't been disappointed in any of the original Conan books so far. Concerning "Conan the Warrior", I liked all three stories presented in the book In "Red Nails", Conan and a pirate woman by the name of Valeria find themselves fighting a large dragon before entering an abandoned-looking city where there's a feud going on between two warring factions.

Both sides are out to completely d Ah, Conan. Both sides are out to completely decimate each other, and a witch emerges, in the midst of the feud, to steal the youth from Valeria. In "Jewels of Gwahlur", Conan goes on an adventure for the Jewels of Gwahlur, hidden in an abandoned palace in the middle of the jungle.

He finds himself fighting priests and hairy ape-like men in tunnels deep underground. This story is my favorite of the three. Conan battles a wizard who has control over animals. He fights a large snake and many other large creatures.

Overall, "Conan the Warrior" was a excellent book. The problem with the stories in this volume is that there isn't very much romance, and there's a certain cheesiness to the cardboard backgrounds. Here's Conan in the lost cities of some sort of Mayan race, and the brown-skinned natives are all crazy fanatics. Then the priest turns up, and he's got some kind of electricity shooting wand, but Conan beats him by dancing out of the way of the electric bolts!

It's set in the wilderness, on the frontier, and the Picts are really described as if they're stereotypical Red Skins from the days of James Fenimore Cooper. Adventure stories have a place dear to my heart and I also like to write them. I pride myself on my description of action. I now realise the master of the genre is Robert E. These stories are muscular stories, roaring along, every word intended to paint a picture in the readers mind, in a world specially thought out to allow all kinds of adventure: pirates, wars, old 8- Sometimes I like my fiction to be exciting, with a dash of mystery, a lot of action, monsters and a tense resolution.

These stories are muscular stories, roaring along, every word intended to paint a picture in the readers mind, in a world specially thought out to allow all kinds of adventure: pirates, wars, old temples, sorcerers, prehistoric monsters, underground caverns, jewels And a main character who may be a musclebound warrior, but is not stupid for all that.

The three stories here are all entertaining, though they missed a bit of the Lovecraftian atmosphere that I found in the other collection I read.

The only reason I have to choose against a five star rating is the undercurrent of racism. These stories are not very complementary of the black cultures encountered and these are often ruled by a white or less coloured upperclass. I know this is 'of its time' and many others in Howards day and age thought this way, but for a modern reader it jars.

Also there's a bit of sexism here, but less than you would expect for stories from the thirties. Especially the pirate Valeria in the opening story is not a damsel in distress, far from it. She's of equal stature to Conan,and I applaud Howard for that. But even so it's clear these could only have been written in the beginning of the last century. They reminded me of the Indiana Jones movies that are also set in the thirties, which is no accident probably. Temples, treasure, hidden cults, revelations and nice action scenes.

Methinks Spielberg and Lucas knew the Howard stories very well before writing the Indiana Jones movies. I think this kind of adverb and adjective filled writing would not fare well today, but for me it works, and I enjoyed the action, the tension. There's a heartbreaking last stand in the third story here that to me was very well done.

Also in that story having Conan described from another more civilised viewpoint worked well also there's a sabertoothtiger in there and a giant snake. This is for fans of adventure novels and gory action. Not for the easily offended or those with a weak stomach Tauted by many as REH's best Conan story, I thought it's great but not nearly my favorite story at all.

It's another story of Conan coming across another ancient lost town with strange people fighting amongst themselves in an ancestral feud. And some ancient wizard is involved.

And Conan gets the girl at the end. This one I liked a little bit less than REH's usual masterpieces. Because it has som "Red Nails". Because it has some elements of a pet peeve of mine: coincidences. The premise of the story itself could have easily been altered; instead of having Conan going to Keshan and passing himself as a training for its army as coverup for his quest for the jewels, he could have found out about them after going there.

The problem it creates is that too many people are going to look for the jewels at the same time, which has sat untouched for at least years. Aside from that it's a decent story, although the monsters, the servants of Bit-Yakin, are not too original. An epic story that plays out like a Western movie where a frontier fort is besieged by tribes of Picts, united by the magics of Zogar Sag who wields power over animals who remember Jhebbal Sag.

There is just the right amount of action, emotions, chills, thrills, loyal companions such as Balthus and Slasher the dog, and a bit of the supernatural thrown in in the form of a bird-legged flame demon. This story would be perfect for a movie, and it more than makes up for the flaws of the other two stories.

The continuing adventures of Robert Howard's legendary character Conan the Barbarian, here repackaged by L. Sprague deCamp. However, these have still been edited by DeCamp in order to sanitize some of Howard's writing, and for that reason I can only give it four stars instead of five.

Conan the Warrior is now out of print, but all three featured stories are currently available unedited and uncensored in the five-star collection, "The Conquering Sword of Conan. Howard's Conan is a primal entity, almost more animal than man. Many writers have carried on the stories of Conan with mixed results. It is best to seek out the volumes that collect only the Howard stories, not all the later continuations.

Shelves: the-god-in-the-bowl. I really enjoyed this series and enjoyed the overall arc and intention of the project. However, there is a distinct difference between Howard's stories and the stories of Lin Carter and L. Sometimes there's simply no making up for talent and Robert E. Howard had a talent for telling stories.

This book is all Howard, all of the time and "Red Nails" may be Conan's finest hour. The master of Sword and Sorcery. Great stories that scare and delight; a hero, who's strength and cunning go unrivaled, and a good dollop of other-world building that make all Conan's novels great reads.

Howard's Conan stories. Although not exactly high literature, Howard knows how to spin a fun and entertaining yarn. It's a shame he didn't live longer. Mostly Howard, and some of his better Conan stories. Some editing by De Camp. Proably 3 and a half stars. Classic Conan. Action, swordplay, vicious panther-like women on all sides. For the true believers. Yes, I'm a closet Conan fan and a big one at that although this "book" has been sitting in my BlackBerry for maybe over a year now. It is finally read.

I was 21 when I first came across these novels. I devoured the first ten in the series in short order. A classic and one of the all time greats. Even the ones that weren't completely Howard's words. The books I'd take to a desert island. The books I'd save from a house on fire. The books I read over and over. The best of the best. My introduction to Conan. Red Nails is one of my favorites. Enjoyable escapist fantasy, probably one of my favourite sets of Conan stories.

Conan stories are timeless adventure. Howard's writing is very entertaining. The walls were covered with scenes of love-making, feasting, and general revelry. Conan grunted, "What disgustingly peaceful lives these people must live to have no scenes of fighting.

In one story Conan deserts his post as Captain of the Guard to chase after a voluptuous pirate queen because he is tired of black women with their facial tattoos and filed teeth. He pursues this woman probably because she is one of the rare The walls were covered with scenes of love-making, feasting, and general revelry. He pursues this woman probably because she is one of the rare wenches that does not immediately throw herself at Conan.

They find a lost palace and end a generational war that has been confined within the walls of one tremendous, labyrinthine building. And Conan slays a dragon. In another story Conan deserts his post as Captain of the Guard because his poor political skills once again get him marked for death. He disagrees with a plan to consult a mysterious oracle about warring with a neighboring kingdom.

He thwarts the plan but then decides it is such a good idea that he will try it himself in a different, unsuspecting kingdom. The last story sees Conan finally leaving Africa for the civilized territory of Aquilonia. No son enlaces. Eliminar un criterio : pinchar dos veces el correspondiente enlace. Creado por Robert E.
