Product Description

Product Description

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.


From the Publisher

The third of the bestselling Gormenghast trilogy.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic book, 9 Sep 2005
By A Customer
I strongly disagree with the other reviews here that it is the weaker book. It has to be taken in context with what was happening with Peake at this time (he was very ill) and many things which were part of his life come into play in the book such as his experiences on entering Belsen. For me it is my favorite book out of the trilogy because it is more personal.

2.0 out of 5 stars Most disappointing book of the trilogy, 24 May 2000
By A Customer
Having read and enjoyed the two previous parts of the Gormenghast trilogy, I was looking forward to the concluding part. However it didn't meet my expectations, and I found it tedious and a chore to read, although I am glad that I persevered, as the ending is probably the best and most exciting part of the book. Gormenghast itself hardly features in the book, and I was left wondering what became of the characters that I had read about in the first two books.

2.0 out of 5 stars What happened?, 11 Mar 2003
This review is from: Titus Alone (Modern Classics) (Paperback)
Titus Groan, and Gormenghast are possibly two of the best written books I've ever read. Titus Alone is quite a different story. Firstly the tone has changed, Peake's descriptive and often surreal writing style seems to have let him down this time. most of the text seems inane and extremely confusing and I must admit more than once I found my mind wondering from the page in front of me. A very dissapointing end to the trilogy, it would probably be best to miss it out all together.

5.0 out of 5 stars Titus alone-underrated
'Titus Alone', whilst it may not have the narrative density of the previous two books in the trilogy, is still a fascinating and poignant read. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Persevere!
Although I will admit that Titus Alone is the weakest of the Titus trilogy, I cannot describe it as a disappointment, as have previous reviewers. Read more
