The People of the Black Circle by Robert E. Howard audiobook. Genre: fantasy The People of the Black Circle' is one of the original novellas about Conan the Cimmerian, written by American author Robert E. Howard and first published in Weird Tales magazine in three parts over the September, October and November 1934 issues. Howard earned $250 for the publication of this story. It is set in the pseudo-historical Hyborian Age and concerns Conan kidnapping a regal princess of Vendhya (pre-historical India) and foiling a nefarious plot of world domination by the Black Seers of Yimsha. Due to its epic scope and atypical Hindustan flavor, the story is considered an undisputed classic of Conan lore and is often cited by Howard scholars as one of his best tales. It is also one of the few Howard stories where the reader is treated a deeper insight on magic and magicians beyond the stereotypical Hyborian depiction as demon conjurer-illusionist-priests Chapters (Approximate) (00:00:00) Chapter 01 (00:13:09) Chapter 02 (00:33:36) Chapter 03 (00:50:48) Chapter 04 (01:05:35) Chapter 05 (01:32:05) Chapter 06 (02:01:45) Chapter 07 (02:21:59) Chapter 08 (02:41:39) Chapter 09 (03:26:25) Chapter 10 Learn more about your ad choices.
