ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Mervyn Peake

Mervyn Peake nasceu em 1911 em Kuling no sul da China, onde o seu pai era médico missionário. Alguns meses depois a sua família mudou-se para Tientsin, uma cidade mais a norte. Peake estudou no Tientsin Grammar School e mais tarde em Londres. Durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, enquanto servia no exército, estabeleceu uma reputação de exímio ilustrador com os desenhos que fez para Ride a Cock Horse (1940), The Hunting of the Snark (1941) e The Rime of the Ancient Mariner (1943). Titus, O Herdeiro de Gormenghast foi publicado em 1946, seguido por Gormenghast em 1950 e Titus Alone em 1959. Morreu em 1968 sem nunca lhe ter sido reconhecido o génio que hoje é incontestável.
