A propos de ce titre

Synopsis

The final volume of the GORMENGHAST trilogy. Titus Groan has abdicated in rebellion against the steeped traditions of the kingdom he inherited. Heading instead into the outside world, he is confronted by a vivid sequence of events, figures and landscapes as he passes beyond the boundaries of childhood.

Présentation de l'éditeur

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.
