P. Lovecraft, master manipulator Fritz Leiber is a worldwide legend within the fantasy genre, actually having coined the term \u003ci\u003esword and sorcery\u003c\/i\u003e that would describe the subgenre he would more than help create.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e While \u003ci\u003eThe Lord of the Rings\u003c\/i\u003e took the world by storm, Leiber’s fantastic but thoroughly flawed antiheroes, Fafhrd and Grey Mouser, adventured and stumbled deep within the caves of Inner Earth as well, albeit a different one than Tolkien’s. They wondered and wandered to the edges of the Outer Sea, across the Land of Nehwon and throughout every nook and cranny of gothic Lankhmar, Nehwon’s grandest and most mystically corrupt city. Lankhmar is Leiber’s fully realized, vivid incarnation of urban decay and civilization’s corroding effect on the human psyche. Fafhrd and Mouse are not innocents; their world is no land of honor and righteousness. It is a world of human complexities and violent action, of discovery and mystery, of swords and sorcery. \u003cbr\u003e  ","brand":"Open Road Media Sci-Fi \u0026 Fantasy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47126799778032,"sku":"9781497616707","price":10.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781497616707_p0.jpg?v=1769895822","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781497616707","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
