A few years ago I purchased the "Centenary Edition. The Complete Chronicles of Conan" and I've finally got round to re-reading them for the 1st time in 35/40 years
The thing that has struck me is that in the 1930's when these were published they were pulp fiction - these days though the prose seems to be from a bygone era. The language rich and free from profanity, though (by today's standards) quite clunky.
Has anyone else re-read these and have any thoughts?
