Description
The Gormenghast Novels by Mervyn Peake is a breathtaking work of fantasy that transports readers to a world of dark struggle and vivid imagination. Within its sprawling, tumbledown halls, the members of the Groan dynasty and their master, Lord Sepulchrave, grow increasingly out of touch with a changing world. As an ambitious kitchen boy named Steerpike rises by devious means to the post of Master of the Ritual, he maneuvers to bring down the Groans. Peake's extraordinary novels create a world where all is like a dream: lush, fantastical, vivid; a symbol of dark struggle. The book includes Peake's own drawings, illustrating the strange creatures that inhabit Gormenghast. This edition features introductory essays by Anthony Burgess and Quentin Crisp, adding depth to Peake's masterpiece. With its power and atmosphere, The Gormenghast Novels is a worthwhile read for fans of fantasy literature.
