About this product
Product Information
Intoxicating, rich, and unique, The Gormenghast Trilogy is a tour de force that ranks as one of the 20th century's most remarkable feats of imaginative writing. This special illustrated edition, published for the centenary of Mervyn Peake's birth, is accompanied by over one hundred of Peake's dazzling drawings. 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. "A gorgeous, volcanic eruption . . . a work of extraordinary imagination." -- The New Yorker "The true fantasy classic of our time." -- Washington Post "His inventiveness, his ingenuity, and his humor are astonishing." -- San Francisco Chronicle

Reviews
Praise for Mervyn Peake: "Gormenghast is grotesque, gory, ghastly, mystical, lyrical, monstrous, mind-bending, and inarticulably beautiful." -- The Scattering Blog "A gorgeous, volcanic eruption . . . a work of extraordinary imagination." -- The New Yorker "Mervyn Peake is a finer poet than Edgar Allan Poe, and he is therefore able to maintain his world of fantasy brilliantly through three novels. It is a very, very great work . . . a classic of our age." --Robertson Davies, author of The Deptford Trilogy "[Peake's books] are actual additions to life; they give, like certain rare dreams, sensations we never had before, and enlarge our conception of the range of possible experience." --C.S. Lewis "The true fantasy classic of our time." -- The Washington Post "Peake's style is marvelous... His inventiveness, his ingenuity, and his humor are astonishing." - - San Francisco Chronicle "Many readers admire Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, but fans of Mervyn Peake's Titus trilogy maintain that this extravagant epic about a labyrinthine castle populated with conniving Dickensian grotesques is the true fantasy classic of our time." -- The Washington Post Book World "Mr. Peake's first novel hold one with its glittering eye . . . It has a genuine plot in the strictest sense, and it persuades you to read on simply in order to know what will happen . . . Its gallery of characters is wonderful." -- The Nation "A fancy of such freshness, variety and visionary power that in his own modest, special way Mervyn Peake liberates and elevates as well as charms." -- The New York Times "A brilliant work, the product of a unique mind." -- The Chicago Daily News "It is, if you like, a rich wine of fancy chilled by the intellect to just the right temperature. There is really no close relative to it in all our prose literature. It is uniquely brilliant, and we are right to call it a modern classic." --Anthony Burgess

purchased the book “my feelings are like wild animals: how do I tame them?” I got it here because the price was $4.72. Condition is as described. The book was bent which likely occurred during shipping, because it was shipped unprotected, by itself. I wish it was shipped in protective cardboard or in a bubble wrap envelope (like other books from eBay.) Fortunately it’s easy to flatten out the bend by putting something heavy on top of the book. Therefore I’ll purchase from this seller again.
