Conan the Cimmerian, a barbaric warrior, roams a post-Atlantean world in epic sword and sorcery adventures.
About
Details
To start with: I know these are not the Conan stories in the way Howard wrote them, being edited for publication in this editon by L. Sprague de Camp. Also one of the four stories is written by De Camp from an outline by Howard. Even so, these were the pocketbooks I found at a second hand book sale, and as I knew I had to try out these classics of the 'sword and sorcery'-genre one day, I bought a couple.
