Titus Alone
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
Description
A doomed lord, an emergent hero, and an array of bizarre creatures haunt the world of the Gormenghast novels, considered to be some of the greatest fantasy classics of all time. At their center 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.
In this third volume, Titus turns against the iron discipline of Gormenghast Castle, abdicating his throne and setting forth on an uncertain quest—for himself. His pilgrimage leads to encounters with mysteriously omnipotent police and a battle to the death with Veil, a fearsome ogre with a body like whips and a face that moves "like the shiftings of the gray slime of the pit." In his quest for independence from his legacy, Titus successfully captures the universal struggle to "come of age."
This final installment in the Gormenghast trilogy is a fantastic triumph—a conquest awash in imagination, terror, and charm.

- content: "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."

- content: This concluding installment of the Gormenghast trilogy begins with the abdication of Titus and follows him through a sequence of events and characters that are not quite what he expected. Edmund Dehn's narration flows with the lyricism of the prose. His presentation is careful, deliberate, and fluid. The voices he gives to the primary characters are distinct and fit their relationship with Titus and the nature of their various experiences. Male characters, in particular, are complex and expressive. Unlike some narrators who seem uncomfortable with pauses, Dehn uses them to good effect. J.E.M. (c) AudioFile 2001, Portland, Maine
