I'm German and had the German Hunger Games editions as a teen because English books weren't accessible to me at the time. Not only are they bland-looking compared to the original US editions, but I hate how they renamed them, especially Catching Fire. The German titles for the books are "Die Tribute von Panem: Tödliche Spiele" (The Tributes of Panem: Deadly Games), "Die Tribute von Panem: Gefährliche Liebe" (The Tributes of Panem: Dangerous Love) and "Die Tribute von Panem: Flammender Zorn" (The Tributes of Panem: Flaming Fury). I'm not so mad about them giving the series an overarching title but "Dangerous Love" instead of "Catching Fire" feels downright insulting. The book series isn't the greatest thing ever made but it was about a lot more than just the romance subplot, by God.

The word μηρός (merós), meaning "thigh" or "thigh bone", was also used to refer to "the loins", either in the context of "the place where a sword is worn", or as an allusion to "the center of reproductive power". But this usage only developed with the Koine dialect of the Greek language, about half a millennium after Homer. It might have the same root as the Latin word membrum ("limb"), which was used in much the same euphemistic way, while its English form obviously carries the meaning until this day. Classical studies, hell yeah.

One of the least favorite things about what publishers have done to Lolita is the cover. He specifically didn't want girls on the cover and yet now that's literally how the covers. The book is supposed to be about the evils of child abuse as seen through a rapist's eyes, and publisher's thought we should use scandalous images of young girls to sell this book. It's disgusting and one of the reasons people have begun to misunderstand the work.

That russian cover of Hunger Games is the reason I refused to read that series for the longest time. Okay, so when I was 13 or so, my cousin worked at a bookstore. I visited her there once and asked if she could recommend me anything. So she showed me the YA section and said "these two are pretty good". One was Uglies by Scott Westerfeld which had a generic close up portrait of a girl on the cover. And the other was The Hunger Games with that bloody cover of a couple hugging in the rain. I really didn't like romance books at the time so I've picked Uglies. (which kinda sucked, i dropped it in the middle of the second book). I've then read Hunger Games a couple years later and loved it. So, fuck whoever designed the cover of the russian translation, I guess.

For A Little Life, I have these whole different sets of parameters of how I think about the two covers: When treating the cover as a "how well does it represent what the vibe and point of the book is and make people want to buy it" kinda thing, I agree that the US cover is a thousand times better and I think the choice of the picture is perfect for representing it... BUT I love to think of the UK cover as sort semi in-universe in a way and that's where some version of me prefers it. I think of it as the white borders hiding what lays behind, and even the glimpses we do get (the letters), they only show the outside of the building, we don't get to see inside and we don't get to see Jude (or Willem, or anyone). It's such a voyeuristic book, I like that this edition doesn't immediately make you Jude's voyeur just by looking at it, you have to pick it up and peek inside to see what is going on behind the white and then even further behind the walls of that building. Idk if I'm making sense and I know it sounds a bit contrived like I'm making up a reason to like the cover but it's also just kind of sweet that at least with that cover, he and his pain get to be hidden a little bit. Almost like the front- and backcover protect him and you have to get to know him to see the pain that the US version so readily presents. Idk If I explained this well, it is sort of a headcanon kinda thing about the cover so definitely not an objective judgement of how aesthetic I think it is, but I felt compelled to share :) (On a related but different note, the man on the US cover looks white to me and Jude isn't white so it feels like the cover is whitewashing him and that's the one thing I really dislike about their choice of that picture - even though I get why they went with it, it really does represent the themes of the book perfectly)

I found a cover of C.S. Lewis's "Mere Christianity" on Amazon and it was a picture of his old hipster woman with glasses. I was the most random thing ever, it's not even related to what the book was about.

As russian I can say that most of the book covers that we have are trash, there's only few exceptions. Nice example is a russian edition Before the coffee gets cold. I was in rage when I saw that thing. That's why I love buying originals. Btw, thanks for the video, had a great laugh!

It’s so interesting to me as a cultural scientist how the further down the line you go from book covers, the more they become abstractions of themselves. Like the first mocking bird covers where abstract depictions of some of the symbolism within the book whereas the special editions where abstract versions, slightly changed versions of the first cover. With the classics in Twilight graphic design, it also makes more sense to me than it should. But I distinctly remember Stephanie Meyer constantly referencing Jane Austen and the Brontë sisters. Bella was reading them! So in an odd way, this is a full circle moment. Younger readers might be inspired to read these books because Stephanie Meyer obviously loves them. Give them the Twilight make over and you might really be able to reach a new audience. But of course, I MIGHT be trying to read a bit too much into these things.

I was a high school student in Mexico when Twilight was in their prime. They did inspire me to loan Wuthering Heights from the library. I wouldn't have otherwise since the classics of my required reading are reall different than the Anglo-Saxon education.

Regarding what's up with the Hunger Games covers - they're Russian, and what Russian publisher wants to remind the readers that they're ruled by an aging president who assassinates his opponents a lot? YA romance style covers are just safer.

The cover of little life is from an actual photograph named orgasm, which is kind of interesting since people can't tell iwhat exactly that face means. The book is a bunch of triggers of how miserable life can be, just check the trigger warnings. I don't recommend reading it

The Dorian Gray one is a double fail because the ZZ-Top-bearded dude in the portrait looks WAY older than the actual Dorian Gray dude - which is the complete OPPPOSITE of what happens in the story. Oh, and those flouresecent-graffiti 'Hunger Games' covers? Total 'eighties vibe, man! I bet the designer watched every John Hughes movie ever made, and thought The Sex Pistols were the bomb.
