Description
Titus Alone marks the final part of Mervyn Peake's epic trilogy. Now almost twenty years old, Titus finds himself lost and alone after escaping from his oppressive past.
Stranded in a bustling city with no papers to prove his identity, Titus is met with suspicion and distrust by those around him. However, a few individuals are drawn to his story, and they offer what little help they can. As Titus navigates this unfamiliar world, he becomes increasingly desperate to find his way back home.
The search for Gormenghast, the place of his birth and upbringing, drives Titus forward, fueling a longing that is both personal and existential. Will he ever find what he's looking for, or will it remain forever out of reach?
