Writer, poet and artist Mervyn Peake (1911–1968) is one of the most striking and original figures in English-language literature. During his lifetime, his works were included in anthologies of modern classics. The novel “Castle Gormenghast” brought unconditional recognition from the literary community (award from the Royal Society of Literature) and world fame to M. Peak.
The action of the novel, in which fantasy, grotesque, satire, elements of mysticism, the deepest psychologism are magically intertwined, is constructed on eternal human values - love, the desire for freedom, the fight against everything vicious and inert in society and man himself.
A brilliant stylist, a master of captivating storytelling, a subtle connoisseur of the nature and movements of the human soul, M. Peak truly created a unique world, the events in which cannot but captivate the reader.
