Titus is expected to rule this extraordinary kingdom and his eccentric
and wayward subjects. But with the arrival of an ambitious kitchen boy,
Steerpike, the established order is thrown into disarray. Over the
course of these three novels--Titus Groan, Gormenghast, and Titus
Alone-- Titus must contend with a kingdom about to implode beneath the
weight of centuries of intrigue, treachery, manipulation, and
murder.Intoxicating, rich, and unique, The Gormenghast Trilogy is a tour
de force that ranks as one of the twentieth century's most remarkable
feats of imaginative writing. This special edition, published for the
centenary of Mervyn Peake's birth, is accompanied by over one hundred of
Peake's dazzling drawings.
