An ancient castle, mired in rituals, awakens from sleep thanks to someone who decided to break the rules alone. Now anyone who dares to walk through the dark corridors of Gormenghast will find himself at the mercy of his burning impatience, his thirst for rebellion. The series of novels about the castle of Gormenghast, like Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, has gained worldwide fame as an undeniable, immortal classic of foreign literature.
