THE FINAL PART OF THE MIGHTY GORMENGHAST TRILOGY

'I would not for anything have missed Gormenghast' C S Lewis


In this final part of the trilogy, we follow Titus, now almost twenty, as he escapes from the Castle, flees its oppressive Ritual, and becomes lost in a sandstorm. Helped by the owner of a travelling zoo, Muzzlehatch, and his ex-lover Juno, Titus ends up stranded in a big, bustling city. No one there having heard of Gormenghast, the general consensus is that the boy is deranged, and with no papers, he's soon arrested for vagrancy.

But there are a few people who believe in his story, or at least who are intrigued by it, and they try to help him. And now Titus, the deserter, the traitor, longs for his home, and looks for it all the time to prove, if only to himself, that Gormenghast is truly real.

'[The Gormenghast Trilogy] is one of the most important works of the imagination to come out of the age that also produced The Four Quartets, The Unquiet Grave, Brideshead Revisited, The Loved One, Animal Farm and 1984.' Anthony Burgess

Critic reviews

[The Gormenghast Trilogy] is one of the most important works of the imagination to come out of the age that also produced The Four Quartets, The Unquiet Grave, Brideshead Revisited, The Loved One, Animal Farm and 1984.
A master of the macabre and a traveller through the deeper and darker chasms of the imagination
Peake's books are actual additions to life; they give, like certain rare dreams, sensations we never had before (C. S. Lewis)

I really enjoyed listening to all three books in this series. Very well produced and narated

Titus groan, gormongast, Titus alone

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Despite Saul Reichlin's virtuoso performance, this is the weakest part of the trilogy. Inconsistent but at its best fine indeed.

Curate's egg

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

I loved this book with all its twists and turns . The funny character just sorry it is the last book .

Titus Alone

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

The same sumptuous prose as in the other books but pretty hard going all the same

Heavy going

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

I loved the first two books but this one just did not do it for me.

No where near as good as the first two
