À propos de cet audio
In this second volume, Titus comes of age within the walls of Gormenghast Castle and discovers various family intrigues. His twin aunts, Cora and Clarice, have been imprisoned in their own apartments, believing that they alone among the castle inhabitants were free of a hideous disease referred to as "Weasel plague." Titus has discovered secret hiding places in abandoned parts of the castle from which he can watch and learn, unobserved: for he has been "exiled" to grow up with the common children until the age of 15. And so, not feeling connected to his future responsibilities, Titus drifts back and forth between the complicated social world he will grow up to govern, and a world of fantasy and daydream.

"[Peake's books] are actual additions to life; they give, like certain rare dreams, sensations we never had before, and enlarge our conception of the range of possible experience." (C.S. Lewis)

Beautifully Written, but Slow Story Progression
I adored the first volume and finished it very quickly. I am also a huge fan of the BBC series which I hold very dear to me. However, this second volume is so unbelievably slow, I just do not have the patience to finish it. Mervyn Peake writes beautifully and Robert Whitfield did a fine job with the many voices and characters. There just isn't anything happening and I find myself constantly rewinding to catch things that I have missed. A work of art, but it is simply not for my taste.
