On a semi related note, why do Evola's book covers look like they belong on an African American Studies textbook? Camouflage?

Also any of the new Discworld book covers.

a long time ago, i watched a youtube video about "finding a trad wife" or something and the guy who made it recommended this book. he was talking about becoming a virtuous man if you want a virtuous woman, so i thought that it was just about how to be a better man in general, hence the title "how to be a 3% man." when i ordered it, i didn't notice the subtitle obviously. go ahead and berate me.

Knowing Penguin, I'm betting that painting has some major historical significance, which relates it to the book.

>letting people see the cover of your book

Kekd

>shh.. don't tell anyone about the conspiracy against the human race

If it got even a single dudebro who would've otherwise never read it to read it, it was worth it.

Tell me this isn't real.

>Translated by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
So they didn't even bother to use a new translation, and instead opted for a public domain one to maximalize profit? Lovely.
Though Longfellow is a great poet, and apparently his was the standard, household version of the work in the Americas at the time (back when the US actually stood for something before it decided to smear shit all over its face, put its pants its head and go "wahoo" on the world stage), so it might be actually good, and a worthwhile read for its own, inherent artistic values.

Request denied.

Bonus: The preface says that Dante would have enjoyed the video game adaptation

Wordsworth have the cheapest books so I don't mind their covers.

This is OK since it's illustrated in the same style within the book.

>t. highschooler

Is it because I find Longfellow's poetry good?
Longfellow isn't taught here. The US only exports cultural trash like Whitman.

objectively correct and redpilled

Hahahahaha

OH NONONONONO

this makes me so fucking sad

The best thing about the illustrations is that they have nothing to do with the book itself, they are just a bunch of random photos with a line drawing filter applied. Just look at this shit.

I don't mind spending a bit more on getting a copy with a nice cover. It's something I'll own for the rest of my life and it has a decorative and aesthetic quality that I don't think should be ignored

what the actual fuck. its like an ai or something made this.

good call. i wish i had done this from the start because my bookshelf is filled with unaesthetic bright oranges, yellows and baby blues and it just looks like shit. always buy neutral colored copies.

Death grips

I have this one. Used to read it during lunch break at work.

The only Butler I've found had this white-washed cover

imagine the smell

I don't get it. A nice, minimal cover artwork can't be that much more expensive than these absolute monstrosities? Why do they keep ruining books with this? Is there any overlap between the groups "has enough taste to enjoy literature" and "is so lacking in taste that they find these covers appealing"?

My friends got me this for my birthday. It was a joke, but every other page is illustrated and the manga style honestly fits the tone. Carroll would have unironically approved

You'd be surprised to know how many midwits are out there reading the classics. Just check the comments of any twitter account vaguely related to literature

hahahaha what the fuck?
