Robert Ervin Howard (Peaster, Texas, 1906 – Cross Plains, Texas, 1936) was an American writer whose influence on fantasy literature is profound and lasting. From a young age, he showed a great passion for history and reading, which led him to start writing stories at fifteen and to sell his first text at eighteen. He is widely recognized as one of the creators of the sword and sorcery subgenre, especially for his iconic character Conan the Barbarian, who debuted in 1932 and became a cultural symbol. Additionally, he created other memorable characters like Kull of Atlantis and Solomon Kane, who also transcended literature to reach cinema and comics. His life was marked by his mother's illness and family instability, which influenced his reserved nature and his work. He maintained a close friendship with H. P. Lovecraft, with whom he shared ideas about civilization and barbarism. Despite his success in Weird Tales magazine and his prolific output of over three hundred stories, he faced economic and personal difficulties, culminating in his suicide at thirty, following his mother's death.
