Yes to P&P next! You can do almost all the classics, as far as I'm concerned, I'll watch them all :)

The Vietnamese cover is the best in my opinion. But that godawful cover with the abs is my favourite 😂

@Heartonmysleeve-gj1kp 4 месяца назад

The first Wordsworth cover you showed of the creature bears somewhat of a resemblance to the Terminator. As regards the regency type cover of the lady with the letter, the novel does begin in epistolary form with the explorer writing to his sister, so maybe it explains why they went with this design.

I love how your cat look at you in parts of the video, such a lady. I love your cat.

Lovely selection you made, Claudia! 15:04 Actually makes sense if you remember where the body parts for the creature came from: dug up from graves in the dead of the night. 23:10 This reminds me of the major arcana tarot card XX "The Judgment". The colors seem like the general color scheme in the Rider-Waite-Smith deck version but the depiction reminds me of the Tarot of the New Vision. In the TNW the perspectives are flipped 180 degress from the original RWS deck. On the Judgment card of the RWS you see 3 humans risings from their graves in the foreground, looking up to a trumpet-blasting archangel Gabriel in the middle ground. In the reverse deck you can look at the faces of the 3 rising humans. That's what this book cover reminds me of. And the creature's abs even form a cross.

My cat was enthralled by your cat during this video 😅 Love this series - there’s so many interesting covers out there. One of my favourite additions to my book collection is a film tie-in cover for Wuthering Heights from either 1939 or the 40s most likely… it’s blue and bright and fantastic!

@Old_Scot 4 месяца назад

These were wonderful! My favourite covers were the Turkish edition, where the monster has bolts through his neck, just like we used to draw him at primary school; props to the Greek publisher for deciding to lighten the mood by using Herman Munster instead of Frankenstein's monster, and I must mention the Dutch edition which also lightened the mood by putting a wee teddy bear in the bottom corner of the cover!

@MothGirl007 4 месяца назад

The Herman Munster version was hilarious, but I wonder if they even knew that that was Herman, but instead thought it was the Boris Karloff version of the monster? 🤔

That Icelandic cover is very disturbing! Definitely looking forward to P&P!

@ChantalsShelfLife 4 месяца назад

That Greek edition from the 70’s literally has a screenshot from the Munsters, a parody sitcom from the 60’s, so hey, at least it’s not another Boris Karloff! 😂

I did a double-take and then laughed out loud! Absolute most bizarre combination of images and aesthetics possible, bravo.

I just finished the book for the first time early this week. I started it Sunday night and couldn't put it down till early Monday morning. Was surprised at some of the difference from book to movie.

@SpinstersLibrary 4 месяца назад

It's such a good book! I'm hoping for a book-accurate adaptation some day.

i love the one at 02:22 it's weird by somehow works. i have the wordsworth one and I like that it matches the color palette for their Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde, the spines look cool side by side on the shelf. Oh i quite like the gorilla-esque one for the heart 💔 And the vietnamese one is fab. Great video

That first Greek cover looked like a Frankenstein-inspired book for adults (I don't know if RU-vid has trouble with the word p**n) 😨. There wasn't the diversity we saw in the other books in your series, clearly the motive is too strong and well-established. This bears the thought that, at least in the cover design world, justice has been made; the creature got the love that it wanted, and Dr. Frankenstein has been forgotten. I loved the look of displeasure from Miranda about the lack of originality in the covers 😂 I'm sure P&P will offer more variety 😉

It makes me laugh that most of these covers are inspired by the movie, and clearly most of the people in charge of approving these covers have never actually read the book?
