Czech and German covers…

…for PUMP SIX AND OTHER STORIES and THE WINDUP GIRL

I really like both of these. Very cool to think of them finding their way into new languages.

    I find it interesting the difference in imagery used for the German cover via-a-vis the one I’m reading. Picking up the German book, I’d expect a glossy, high-tech world, whereas with the other (US version? original?) you get a sense that, in this version of the future, something has gone very, very wrong.

    While I am a big fan of your U.S. covers for these books, it makes me wish I could read the language because I’d love to pick up each of these. Great covers.

    Dear Paolo, I just have finished ‘Biokrieg’ (the German translation). Fine, very fine!! I love it with its persons, animals, energies and airships.

    To use windup-technologies after the oil-age is logic – and I will refer to it in my online-publication about past, present and future of renewables (see the chapter about muscle-energy here: http://www.buch-der-synergie.de/c_neu_html/c_01_01_muskelkraft.htm). Wunderful is also the idea of energy storage through the use of high-capacity springs.

    BUT: Where are the other technologies like solar-cells (even biological ones), wind (like the ingenious ‘windbelt’ as example) or waves and tides?!

    Waiting for the next translations…!

    I’m looking forward to read The Windup Girl in Czech. I have Pump Six and it’s really one of the best books I’ve ever read.

    Wow. To be honest, I wouldn’t have picked up the German version based on the design and title.
    I’m halfway through The Windup Girl in English though, and I’m absolutely loving it.
    I haven’t read a novel in a while (I’ve been devouring non-fiction) and this is the first one that’s been able to really engage me in several months.
