As someone who is always on the look-out for classics that I've somehow missed, I was intrigued tocome across a publisher called Bibliolis Books, who are putting out lesser-known works by great (or at least important) writers, like so:
And with some of the better-known books in their catalogue, nothing seems amiss:
But looking deeper through their list, I'm a bit alarmed by the covers given some other better-known books.
 |
| Mistah Kurtz--he on a road trip |
 |
| The book that fits this cover would be significantly less odd than the one Stoker wrote |
 |
| Eppie was a surprisingly modern girl |
 |
| Gulliver joins Kurtz |
 |
| This makes the book's social comedy look more like some Kafkaesque nightmare |
 |
| Despite the cover, this book contains no pretentious nightclubbers who refuse to act their age |
 |
| Sit, Earnest, sit--good dog. |
 |
| Again, you see what they meant, but it's all wrong |
Is this a case of
Tutis-like randomness? That seems unlikely--there's more care given to the titles printed than Tutis ever showed. But what the hell is going on with these covers? Bibliolis's
own website is no help, being virtually information-free. What is going on here?
