Top Sword & Sorcery for Noobs

Описание: Explore the gritty, fast-paced world of Sword & Sorcery in this guide to the top 11 books and series that define the genre—from Conan the Barbarian and Elric of Melniboné to hidden gems like Morlock Ambrosius and the feminist firebrand Jirel of Joiry. I also spotlight two current magazines keeping the genre alive, plus modern authors like Jack Vance and Andrzej Sapkowski (The Witcher). If you’re tired of 800-page tomes and just want cursed swords, doomed love, and monsters that don’t wait for speeches, this is for you. Happy reading, and may your blade stay sharp.
