About this book

Moody and bookish, Elric the albino is no burly barbarian. Nor is he a product of heroic destiny fated to save the world, but rather kicks against prophecy and wants to see men succeed without the fickle gods' intervention. Moorcock's writing can be a bit flamboyant for the modern palate, but has captivated imaginations for decades beginning as pulp fiction, making its way into comics, and continuing to influence the fantasy genre today. Stormbringer sound familiar to anyone? Our hero begins as a sickly young emperor dependent on herbs to keep him strong enough to carry on, but evolves to become herbalist, summoner, sorcerer, and swordsman; establishing sword and sorcery as a genre unto itself.
