Titus Groan

Gormenghast Trilogy

De: Mervyn Peake

Narrado por: Saul Reichlin

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.

Masterpiece

Mervyn Peake’s way of using language is mesmerizing.
Titus Groan is both funny, grotesque, beautiful, macabre and romantic. And Saul Reichlins narration is exquisite.

A stunning journey through a stunning world

The most beautiful use of language i have ever encountered, a riveting story with loveable and strange characters, brought to life by masteful narration

Fantastic writing

Some of the most incredible use of English I have ever experienced. Excellent reader. Highly recommend.

A troll miror image of the human condition

I laughed a lot. This is one of the strangest styles of writing I have experienced. The narration in it self, makes the story worth listening to.
