Juraj Červenák (born June 16, 1974) is a Slovak author best known for his short stories and novels, which mix elements of sword and sorcery with historical fantasy and Slavic mythology. He has published (under the pseudonym Thorleif Larssen) several novels featuring Robert E. Howard's classic character Conan the Barbarian, as well as (under his own name) the Warlock〔'Warlock' is one of the possible translations of the Slovak term 'Černokňažník'〕 trilogy, a set of historical fantasy novels following the adventures of the Slavic warlock Rogan in the historical setting of the 8th century Principality of Nitra and neighbouring lands. Červenák's short stories range from themes similar to those used in his novels to westerns and horrors and can be found in various (mostly Czech) anthologies, Slovak science fiction/fantasy magazine ''Fantázia'' and Czech magazines ''Ikarie'' and ''Pevnost''. Most of Červenák's books were published in Czech translation prior to publication of their original Slovak versions (as of September 2007 none of the novels have been published in Slovak). Červenák is currently working on a new trilogy, based on Bylinas; the first novel, ''Bohatier: Oceľové žezlo'' (Bogatyr: The Iron Sceptre) was published in 2006, with two sequels scheduled for publication in 2007. ==Biography== Juraj Červenák was born on June 16, 1974 in Žiar nad Hronom, Slovakia, but spent most of his life in the town of Banská Štiavnica. After graduating from secondary school he went through a series of odd jobs, finally settling in a position at the town's cultural centre, where his duties included managing the local cinema. He ultimately made writing (as a novelist, short story writer and film critic for various magazines) his full-time career in 2005.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Červenák's profile at fantasya.cz (in Czech) )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Juraj Červenák」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
