English original here

“Větší účast na moci znamená odlišné vědomí, cítění, odhodlanost a odlišný úhel pohledu.” Friedrich Nietzsche [1]

“Ocel mě poctivě naučila o souladu mezi duší a tělem: zdálo se mi, že slabé emoce mají za následek ochabování svalů, sentimentalita se projevuje ochabnutím žaludku a přecitlivělost má za následek přecitlivělou bledou kůži. Read more …

The Hour of the Dragon (Conan the Conqueror), Part 4

915 words

Part 4 of 4

In our final installment we will examine the end of this novel and its denouement. The Heart of Ahriman—the foundation to resist Xaltotun’s magick—has been obtained by Conan after numerous adventures. This means that the Aquilonians do not need to fear his necromancy as they begin their final rebellion against the Nemedians—prior to expelling them from the kingdom for good. Read more …

The Hour of the Dragon (Conan the Conqueror), Part 3

849 words

Part 3 of 4

In our synopsis and analysis, we left Conan and Hadrathus discussing how to regain the initiative by seizing the Heart of Ahriman. Conan then heads south in the funereal barge of a follower of Asura — to make sure that he and Albiona are unmolested — and he quickly makes up the leagues necessary to visit Count Trocero’s Poitain in the deep south of Aquilonia.

The Hour of the Dragon (Conan the Conqueror)

999 words

Part 1 of 4

Moving on from my recent review of Robert E. Howard’s “Rogues in the House,” I would like to have a look at the only full-length Conan novel, The Hour of the Dragon (sometimes known as Conan the Conqueror).

This piece again illustrates the subliminal racialism of the Howard mythos as well as providing a template for his mordant, pessimistic, and ultra-conservative views about civilization. Read more …

Anti-Modernism in Literature, Part 4

Part 4 of 4. Click here for all four parts.

Gudrun Brangwen, the Modern Woman

Gerald Crich is only one half of Lawrence’s portrait of the “modern individual.” The other half is Gudrun Brangwen. Of course, Birkin and Ursula are modern individuals, though in a different sense. The latter couple are both seeking some fulfilling way to live in, or in spite of, the modern world. Read more …

Interestingly, perhaps the clearest parallels to Gerald Crich’s philosophy of life, and Lawrence’s treatment of it, are two thinkers Lawrence knew nothing about when he wrote Women in Love: Oswald Spengler and Ernst Jünger, both of whom were strongly influenced by Nietzsche.
