Description
The vast and crumbling castle of Gormenghast stands as a testament to centuries of intrigue and manipulation. At its heart is Titus Groan, the seventy-seventh Earl, who is also heir to this labyrinthine world of Byzantine government and ancient rituals. A place where treachery, murder, and manipulation have created a delicate balance that threatens to implode at any moment. This novel is not simply a sequel to Titus Groan, but rather an expansion and deepening of the original story. Mervyn Peake's masterful writing weaves together a rich tapestry of incident, character, and atmosphere, creating a work of remarkable imaginative power. A tour de force of twentieth-century literature, Gormenghast is a worthwhile read for anyone drawn to complex and atmospheric fiction.
