Complete Nonsense

release date: Jul 27, 2012
Complete Nonsense
''Nonsense'', wrote Mervyn Peake, ''can take you by the hand and lead you nowhere. It''s magic.'' Peake (1911-68) is one of the great English nonsense poets, in the tradition of Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear. His verses lead the reader into places where cause is cut free of effect and language takes on a giddy life of its own. Malicious bowler hats threaten their owners, a cake is chased across an ocean by a rakish knife, aunts become flatfish or live on sphagnum moss. Fully annotated, with a detailed introduction, Complete Nonsense contains all the poems and illustrations from Peake''s Book of Nonsense (1972), with forty unpublished poems discovered in manuscripts and thirty from uncollected sources, including all the nonsense verses from his novels. It reprints complete - for the first time and in colour - the words and images from Rhymes without Reason (1944), and Peake''s comic masterpiece Figures of Speech (1954). All the poems have been newly edited, often from Peake''s manuscripts, by Robert Maslen, editor of Peake''s Collected Poems (Carcanet), and Peter Winnington, the leading Peake scholar and biographer. Peake wrote of the rare art that glitters with the divine lunacy we call nonsense'': Complete Nonsense glitters with Peake''s benign and wayward imagination.

Titus errant
À 20 ans, Titus n’en peut plus de Gormenghast et de l’enfermement qui caractérise la vie entre les murs du château de ses ancêtres. Les intrigues et les règles absurdes, les responsabilités qui lui incombent et la solitude écrasent le jeune homme, épris d’aventures et de rencontres nouvelles. Profitant de la confusion causée par une grande inondation, Titus s’enfuit et délaisse son titre de comte pour s’en aller découvrir ce qui existe au-delà des murs du château et des terres attenantes. Mais il ne sait rien de ce monde étrange. Pire encore : personne ne semble croire en l’existence de Gormenghast... Chef-d’oeuvre de la littérature fantastique, Le Cycle de Gormenghast est une déambulation surréaliste dans un château-monde aux proportions extraordinaires, et bien au-delà.

This fills an important gap in the canon of Peake''s works in print. Although written after the Second World War, The poem uses it for its theme. While its central characters, The sailor And The child are symbolic, this was not consciously planned. Pe

Titus d'Enfer
Premier roman de la célèbre " Trilogie de Gormenghast ", où Mervy Peake (1911-1968) invente un univers de fiction aussi étrange, aussi inquiétant que celui de Tolkien-une large dose d''humour féroce en plus... Une vaste métaphore de l''humaine condition, picaresque et irrévérencieuse à souhait, qui fit se récrier d''aise Grahame Greene... et comparer Peake à Rabelais, Swift, Powys-rien de moins.
