The 1930's heralded the arrival of C.L. Moore, one of the pioneering women writers of speculative fiction, and the appearance of fantasy's landmark female hero: Jirel of Joiry. With her red hair flowing, her yellow eyes glinting like embers, and her face streaked with blood, Jirel is strong, fearless, and driven by honor. Her legendary debut, BLACK GOD'S KISS, begins as her castle, Joiry, is overrun by invaders, but knowing that this is one battle she cannot fight, she summons her courage and cunning and descends into the castle's hidden reaches, where she crosses through a doorway into Hell itself... JIREL OF JOIRY collects the classic tales of blood and vengeance that secured C.L. Moore's place among legendary authors of sword and sorcery like Robert E. Howard and Edgar Rice Burroughs. Originally published in the magazine Weird Tales, Moore's fantastic tales of warriors, gods, and magic are defined by a fierce, romantic vision that helped define the genre, earning her the title of Grand Master for lifetime achievement by the World Fantasy Convention. Includes BLACK GOD'S KISS, BLACK GOD'S SHADOW, JIREL MEETS MAGIC, THE DARK LAND, and HELLSGARDE.… (plus d'informations)
kroseman: Dark Agnes de Chastillon draws inspiration from Jirel of Joiry. Howard corresponded with C.L. Moore, who responded enthusiastically about the Dark Agnes character.
sandstone78: C.L. Moore's Jirel of Joiry is one of the original sword and sorcery heroines. This Sword and Sorceress anthology is dedicated to Moore and Joiry, and follows in the tradition of woman-fronted sword and sorcery.
Jirel est une jeune amazone rousse, éprise de voyages occultes et qui trouve son accomplissement dans le fracas des armes et l'éclaboussement du sang. Elle vit au château de Joiry, en France, au Moyen Age, et mène, en solitaire, une vie guerrière. Lors-que débutent les aventures de Jirel, le Sire Guillaume est parvenu à forcer les défenses de Joiry et s'est emparé de la châtelaine, décidé à lui faire partager sa couche. Jirel n'hésite pas alors à évoquer des puissances innommables pour s'engager dans un autre univers, afin d'en ramener l'arme qui lui permettra de vaincre Guillaume. C'est au cours d'une de ces incursions dans l'outre-espace qu'elle rencontre Northwest Smith, le héros de Shambleau. Quelle étrange flamme pourra jaillir entre ces deux êtres si différents, l'astronaute venu du futur et la belle et féroce Jirel de Joiry ? ( )

She shook him off with an impatient shrug and dropped to one knee beside Guillaume's body, bending her head so that the red hair fell to hide her tears. ("Black god's kiss")
She toiled up the slope, dragging her sword listlessly, weary to the very soul, but quite calm now, with a peace beyond all understanding. ("Black god's shadow")
Jirel squared her shoulders and turned her back upon her vow fulfilled, and without a backward glance set off across the grass toward the tree-hid ruins which held the gate to home. ("Jirel meets magic")
She stood there in her doeskin tunic upon the flagstones and breathed in deep gusts, staring about her with dazed eyes that dwelt like lingering caresses upon the familiar things of home. ("The dark land")
