This danish classic novel is about, well you can guess, and when I tell you the title you will be confirmed: "God's blind eye," The informative label fiits, I think  :-)

Book Cover #19

© Unknown, 1966.

This is a swedish book from 1966. I'm not sure if it's a novel or biographical, since I never read the book. Anyway the book is about the problems in Congo in the sixties.

Am I the only one finding this cover a bit obscene?

Book Cover #18


© Ib Spang Olsen, 1959.

The danish title is: Escape from the dishes. The depth and childish look is very significant for the danish artist Ib Spang Olsen. It's part of my heritage and I like it.

This is an example of another variation from Penguin, The Penguin Classics. I like the wonderful portrait of Ibsen :-)

Book Cover #10

A Penguin Special. It has more elements on the front cover, less stylish, I think, but still recognizable a Penguin book.

Book Cover #1


© Dea Trier Mørch 1968, 1978


I'm very fond of the characteristic style of writer and artist Dea Trier Mørch. It's the style of leftwing artist of the seventies. I grew up with it, which is perhaps why it has sentimental value for me.
