The meme The Friday Face-Off was originally created by Books by Proxy. Each week bloggers showcase books with covers centred around a weekly theme. You can visit Lynn’s Books for a list of upcoming themes. Join in the fun each Friday by finding a book whose cover is based on the theme!
This week’s theme: ‘nomad is an island’ – A cover featuring a desert landscape.
My choice here was somehow obliged, theme-wise: the amazing Italian novel ‘Il Deserto
Which one is your favourite? I must say I am partial to the last one, with Coetzee’s quote on the blue cover.
The image in the third row is the one that most gives the feeling of loneliness thanks to that shape that hints at a fort but might as well be an abandoned ruin… 🙂
I agree. I also think it reflects well the atmosphere of this amazing book…
