Der traurige Henker

Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser experience all sorts of adventures once again in the third volume of their fantastic journeys on the planet Newhon. For instance, they discover a secret civilization of rats deep beneath the catacombs of their hometown Lankhmar, must brave wizards and pirates, and contend with depressed executioners and strange ice monsters. Yet, the heroes always manage to outsmart all dangers. Although they often end up empty-handed, they continually put their luck to the test. Fritz Leiber was one of the great masters of fantasy. The pinnacle of his work is the adventures of Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser, which are presented here in an unabridged, faithful translation for new and returning readers to discover!.
