Intriguing medieval world full of secrets and rituals

The Gormenghast Novels is a mesmerizing trilogy filled with intricate details of a medieval world that is slowly disintegrating. Peake's illustrations make it easier for readers to visualize this crumbling society that is struggling to survive due to its outdated traditions and meaningless rituals. The plot is centered around a young kitchen boy named Steerpike, who is willing to do anything to climb the ranks of the castle hierarchy. The Gormenghast Novels is perfect for readers who want to lose themselves in a well-crafted fantasy world, filled with secrets, intrigue and mysteries waiting to be unraveled.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

A doomed lord, an emergent hero, and a dazzling array of bizarre creatures inhabit the magical world of the Gormenghast novels which, along with Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, reign as one of the undisputed fantasy classics of all time. At the center of it all is the seventy-seventh Earl, Titus Groan, who stands to inherit the miles of rambling stone and mortar that form Gormenghast Castle and its kingdom, unless the conniving Steerpike, who is determined to rise above his menial position and control the House of Groan, has his way.In these extraordinary novels, Peake has created a world where all is like a dream - lush, fantastical, and vivid. Accompanying the text are Peake's own drawings, illustrating the whole assembly of strange and marvelous creatures that inhabit Gormenghast.Also featuring:Introductory essays by Anthony Burgess and Quentin CrispTwelve critical essays, curated by Peake scholar Peter G. WinningtonFragment of the unpublished novel, Titus Awakes
