Another excellent reading. You guys are awesome 🤘 To anybody who might think Howard was a racist because of some of the "problematic" character dialogue, I'd suggest reading the Solomon Kane stories where he saves African tribes from Barbary Slavers and where he gets his iconic Staff of Solomon from his "blood brother" N'Longa (an African Shaman who saves Kanes life) Howard does not view any people as inferior, he just portrays a harsh and brutal world in his writing.
He's still racist.. and that's okay, he was writing 90 years ago and it was a very different time. I've read a lot of Robert E Howard and the way he's described black people is undeniably racist and he definitely viewed black people as inferior. That doesn't mean you can't enjoy his writings, I'm black and he's one of my favourite writers but we don't need to deny reality.
I'm a black 🖤🐈⬛ guy from Chicago, I'm 37 years old, I'm a retired, home 🏡 owner, I wouldn't consider myself a "dog" but I resonate with this "ivory" woman ♀️👠. Great great narration and story
I like to think of this one as an almost direct sequel to Queen of the black coast and in my own head Cannon part of Conan's ruthlessness is his rage in morning for Belit
"A man need not be a swine wherever he is..." Much better for Society to follow and emulate the sayings of Robert E Howard's CONAN the Barbarian than the civilized trappings and talk of Mario Puzo's Godfather series. Seriously!! Mario SIrSirReal Villarreal.
Bro I never realized how crazy his stories were and it seems like warhammer even took inspiration from conan and cane as the witch hunter variant and even hero quest the barbarian on the cover. Crazy as hell love this stuff. Im off to age of sorcery
Wonderful! My new favourite thing to do is listen to these stories here. and then go find the comic book adaptation to see if it matched my imagination!
Just wait until they "reimagine" the Hyborean Age for a 'modern audience'. They really hate being reminded of a time when being terminally thin-skinned was considered immature instead of a virtue.
WOW! The vitality of these Cybrarian Productions, coupled with the vividness of R.E. Howard's writings is amazing! A real plus includes the female voice: a man imitating a female just doesn't cut it for me. Additionally, it usually seems to me that R.E. Howard is generally making thinly veiled commentary concerning the anthropology of the human race, which gives his writing an added depth. Thanks to one and all at Cybrarian Productions.
Thank you. Yes, we were very glad to get our female voice artist (and we remastered earlier stories to replace the male doing a female voice). REH's anthopology is very interesting, shown well in the history of Hyboria here... ua-cam.com/video/9G86WohAd_4/v-deo.html
@@TheCybrarian Thanks for taking the time to reply. And thanks for remastering previous productions to include a female's voice. That really makes a difference!
This story was always in my mind as an environment of hot sweating barbaric activities where the the issues of nudity was the least of offences. Her seeing her brother being fed to wild dogs would send any young virgin to the end of sanity. Virginity doesnt only mean untouched physically, but spiritually, and emotionally as well.
Great job haven't had a problem with any of stories you've done. I'm having to listen to the hour of the dragon by someone else because you haven't done it. Wish you did but it's a novel costs would be high. I noticed there's idiots starting to coment on stuff they know nothing about. Do not place todays ideas on yesterday. Read slomon kane
a lot of nations of hyborea have ancient real-world equivelents, were Livia and her brother are from, Ophir, is analogous to medievel Sicily or Malta, so we decided on and italian accent for it's modern reference (not uncommon for affluent italians of the time to journey to the east for knowledge from babylon etc)
any ads (unfortunately required as we have expenses that still arent covered) should only pop up at the chapter breaks we put in. let us know if they interupt the text. but fret not, we will keep 'em coming
@@shazreea1938 no, no you misunderstand me, you did fine. When I think of Italian women I think of those smokey, raven haired, buxom, women with a smoldering intensity, and Sophia Patrillo from the Golden Girls when they get older. That’s what I was getting with the accent, unfortunately the description of a fair blonde kept throwing out of the moment. Perhaps a Slavic, Polish, maybe even Scottish accent would have been better for me.
@@TheCybrarian No worries, and that was supposed to be Your* up there, not you're :D I've been working through most of your videos, and I think they're great
umm Hitler was a genocidal-fanatical meth-feenin ass hat who wiped out millions of humans.. Robert Howard was no pulper but to use Hitler to compare to a 'racist character'.
That love grows with every misplaced criticism like this. When those authors were alive calling them out would've been "stunning & brave" but now it's just self-serving. It doesn't make a 'difference' for anyone, it just makes noise for attention.
Why are you even listening then? You had already made up your mind before you came here! Believe what you will but don't preach your beliefs on me. Go cry to someone who cares

They don't care. They just want to control. Bein persuaded means not bein in control.
@rigsby86 you can't be racist for writing about things that have actually happened before in real life. Grow up
Looking back, this was definitely a story of Conan at his darkest moods, having taken place so soon after the death of his great love, Belit.⚔

God bless you man for being a man ...not hurt by words....from a white hillbilly in Kentucky 😊
There are so many memorable quotes regarding in this story🤣
It’s just soo brutal and yet so mater of fact about the brutality of the ancient world
Your voicing of Conan is unmatched! ⚔ 🔥 🙌
Amazing
Conan is truly righteous, God bless him and you and all the subscribers too
I like to think of this one as an almost direct sequel to Queen of the black coast and in my own head Cannon part of Conan's ruthlessness is his rage in morning for Belit
yeah, in the original chronology there are no other stories in between those.

@@TheCybrarian Hence the moniker "The father of sword-and-sorcery."
Great , excellent narration and overall professional production

Interesting, let us know how it goes :)
Another great presentation. I have a large library of Howard's work but love your readings too
another great presentation. thank you posting. Conan was not a boy scout.
compared to the locals torturing people to death and feeding them to jackels, he's quite nice, haha

@sike2399 Have fun cosplaying masculinity. But remember in the real world you are just a regular person who needs civilization as much as anyone
@@sbnwnc Would that be the world where men are men and women aren't? You can't live in the real world if you don't even know where it is kiddo.
I'll share this with a couple of friends immediately.
Excellent, always like the word spread.
Awesome as always.
By Crom, Mitra, Ishtar and Nergal, that was a good one.. ⚔️
Y're lost.
You're on a roll man!
Awesome. Your voice is perfect for relaxing
Thank you.

Livia is definitely Italian judging by her accent 😁
this is the least exciting Conan story, and you acted it like professionals.
excellent job!
yeah, it's odd, not sure this is even a Conan story, he's in it some, but it's all from Livia's point of view

absolutely, they are from aristocracy, travelling to study, and have been sheltered from the hardships and horrors in life

yes, hour of the dragon is 8+ hours long, we have considered possibly running a kickstarter to finance the time it would take to do it all.
I bet this was lovecrafts favorite 😂
Based.
beyond the reachin.
Another bangar, what a gloomy epic story. What inspired that particular accent Shazrea gave the girl?
a lot of nations of hyborea have ancient real-world equivelents, were Livia and her brother are from, Ophir, is analogous to medievel Sicily or Malta, so we decided on and italian accent for it's modern reference (not uncommon for affluent italians of the time to journey to the east for knowledge from babylon etc)

Another question, if i buy you $20-30 worth of coffee, could i convince you to narrate the Ozymandius poem?
Or do i need to submit that request somewhere else
By Set, we've found a Conan girl less competent than Natala!
she is a bit mad panicked, but considering what they did to her brother, it's understandable, haha
I couldn't understand much of what the lady said. Also on her voice I would turn down the high range and up the medium and low pitch settins.
the white blossoms were tossed.
Hail brothers...
there was a swirlin.
If u could do away with the adds that would be greatfully appreciated, great job and keep em coming plz and thx

Sorry the Italian accent of the woman was really distracting.
Being Glaswegian it’s not the easiest to mimic lol

The place Livia's from is prehistory Italy.
Many women of ancient Italia had blond hair and blue eyes.
Sorry, I can't listen to this one-too much chewing! You're narrations are otherwise awesome, though
sorry about the chewing but think it's only near the start.

Just imagine someone asking the Big Guy what his pronouns are....LOL.
"Your Majesty" 😎
To anyone who thinks Hitler was a racist ....yeah ,he was a racist . Ditto the Texan pulper .
Reading this as a black man sure hits odd, LOL. It wasn't as glaring in the other stories, but god damn.
Still really good writing though!
You're so brave to call out 90 year old "racism". What courage...thanks for pointing that out
Stay mad, Karen.
This was almost a century ago what should we burn it? Eliminate everything that doesn't fit your ideas? Go kiss off
umm Hitler was a genocidal-fanatical meth-feenin ass hat who wiped out millions of humans..
Robert Howard was no pulper but to use Hitler to compare to a 'racist character'.
As nice as these audio productions are Robert e Howard and Tolkien are still racists loved by the masses.
That love grows with every misplaced criticism like this. When those authors were alive calling them out would've been "stunning & brave" but now it's just self-serving. It doesn't make a 'difference' for anyone, it just makes noise for attention.
