Gormenghast

Autor Mervyn Peake
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 feb 1998

'The Gormenghast Trilogy is one of the most important works of the imagination to come out of [this] age' Anthony Burgess

BOOK TWO OF THE GORMENGHAST TRILOGY

Enter the world of Gormenghast...the vast crumbling castle to which the seventy-seventh Earl, Titus Groan, is Lord and heir. Gothic labyrinth of roofs and turrets, cloisters and corridors, stairwells and dungeons, it is also the cobwebbed kingdom of Byzantine government and age-old rituals, a world primed to implode beneath the weight of centuries of intrigue, treachery, manipulation and murder.

Gormenghast is more than a sequel to Titus Groan - it is an enrichment and deepening of that book.The fertility of incident, character and rich atmosphere combine in a tour de force that ranks as one of the twentieth century's most remarkable feats of imaginative writing.

Notă biografică

Mervyn Peake (1911-1968) was an English novelist, poet, artist, illustrator, playwright, and designer whose singular imagination made him one of the most influential writers of fantasy literature. Best known for the acclaimed Gormenghast series-Titus Groan, Gormenghast, Titus Alone, and the posthumously completed Titus Awakes-Peake created one of the most richly atmospheric and original worlds in modern fiction. A gifted visual artist as well as a writer, he illustrated many of his own works, bringing a unique depth and detail to his storytelling. Though often compared with other giants of fantasy literature, Peake's blend of gothic imagery, dark humor, poetry, and psychological insight remains entirely his own. His novels continue to inspire generations of readers, artists, and writers around the world.
