À propos de cet audio

The complete, unabridged audiobook of Titus Groan.

As the first novel opens, Titus, heir to Lord Sepulchrave, has just been born: he stands to inherit the miles of rambling stone and mortar that stand for Gormenghast Castle. Inside, all events are predetermined by a complex ritual, lost in history, understood only by Sourdust, Lord of the Library. There are tears and strange laughter; fierce births and deaths beneath umbrageous ceilings; dreams and violence and disenchantment contained within a labyrinth of stone.

A brilliantly sustained flight of gothic imagination.

the story is well written, and the audiobook is well read, but the story itself, just so-so.

both the book, and the narration, are superb. it isn't easy to get into it immediately, - at least it wasn't for me. but oh, how rewarding it is once you do! very unique, captivating book.

one just has to get into it

I have never before read a novel that itself is best described as *eccentric*. The characters surely are eccentric, but everything else about it is eccentric, too. I first tried to read this when I was around 12 years old and it took me about 30 more before I tried again. This second time around, I devoured it. A very odd, utterly captivating read (listen).

Brilliant story and brilliant performance. I read this many years ago and found it to be just as delightful and engaging now as it was then! Mervyn Peake is a true master of the English language and a wonderful story teller.

Brilliant

The narrator is absolutely amazing. I'm not sure how to rate the story, as there really isn't much of one. The book is more focused around mood and character than plot.

Great narrator
