About this ebook
In "Hawks of Outremer," Robert E. Howard transports readers to a vivid tapestry of medieval adventure that intertwines the chivalric allure of the Crusades with a vivid portrayal of Eastern exoticism. Written in characteristic Howardian prose, the narrative is steeped in rich atmospheric detail, presenting a world of noble knights, cunning mercenaries, and fierce battles. The story features the legendary character, El Borak, whose swashbuckling exploits in the Levantian landscape blend historical elements with Howard's trademark action-oriented style, offering both a gripping tale and a critique of the romanticized notions surrounding the Crusades. Robert E. Howard, renowned as the father of sword and sorcery, was deeply influenced by his Texan upbringing, the pulp magazine culture of the 1930s, and the historical narratives that piqued his imagination. His fascination with martial valor and shadowy mystique culminated in the creation of "Hawks of Outremer," a work that reflects his exploration of themes such as heroism and cultural conflict. Howard's works often reveal his own inner battles as he grappled with his ideals against the realities of his time. This novella is an essential read for fans of fantasy and historical fiction alike, as it encapsulates Howard's unique vision and writing prowess. Readers who seek a thrilling combination of historical depth and exhilarating action will find "Hawks of Outremer" a compelling addition to the canon of early 20th-century adventure literature.
