THE SAVAGE TALES OF SOLOMON KANE

Book ID/图书代码： 01240005B00869

English Summary/英文概要： With Conan the Cimmerian, Robert E. Howard created more than the greatest action hero of the twentieth century—he also launched a genre that came to be known as sword and sorcery. But Conan wasn’t the first archetypal
adventurer to spring from Howard’s fertile imagination.
“He was . . . a strange blending of Puritan and Cavalier, with a touch of the ancient philosopher, and more than a touch of the pagan. . . . A hunger in his soul drove him on and on, an urge to right all wrongs, protect all weaker things. . . . Wayward and restless as the wind, he was consistent in only one respect—he was true to his ideals of justice and right. Such was Solomon Kane.”
Collected in this volume, lavishly illustrated by award-winning artist Gary Gianni, are all of the stories and poems that make up the thrilling saga of the dour and deadly Puritan, Solomon Kane. Together they constitute a sprawling epic of weird fantasy adventure that stretches from sixteenth-century England to remote African jungles where no white man has set foot. Here are shudder-inducing tales of vengeful ghosts and bloodthirsty demons, of dark sorceries wielded by evil men and women, all opposed by a grim avenger armed with a fanatic’s faith and a warrior’s savage heart.
This edition also features exclusive story fragments, a biography of Howard by scholar Rusty Burke, and “In Memoriam,” H. P. Lovecraft’s moving tribute to his friend and fellow literary genius.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 曾创造出“野蛮人科南”的美国作家罗伯特·霍华德在小说界引领起刀剑和魔法的潮流。但柯南并不是他所创造的第一个冒险形象。
“他是一个奇怪的风度翩翩的清教徒，又像一个古代哲学家。他心灵的欲望驱使着他伸张正义，保护弱者。他像风一样飘忽不定，一刻都不肯安宁。他只忠于自己正义的理念，这就是所罗门凯恩。”
在这本由获奖艺术家Gary Gianni插画的书中，所有的故事和诗歌都围绕严苛沉默的清教徒——所罗门凯恩展开，构成了一段段惊心动魄的传奇。这段史诗般的奇幻冒险，从十六世纪偏远的英国到没有白人涉足的非洲丛林。有令人毛骨悚然的孤魂野鬼、嗜血的恶魔、以及使用邪术的诡异男女，他们共同的敌人便是这个有着狂热信仰以及一颗野蛮的武者之心的男子。(RH)
