요약
"A gorgeously unique, fully illustrated exploration into the phenomenology of reading--how we visualize images from reading works of literature, from one of our very best book jacket designers, himself a passionate reader. What do we see when we read? Did Tolstoy really describe Anna Karenina? Did Melville ever really tell us what, exactly, Ishmael looked like? The collection of fragmented images on a page--a graceful ear there, a stray curl, a hat positioned just so--and other clues and signifiers helps us to create an image of a character. But in fact our sense that we know a character intimately has little to do with our ability to concretely picture our beloved--or reviled--literary figures. In this remarkable work of nonfiction, Knopf's Associate Art Director Peter Mendelsund combines his profession, as an award-winning designer; his first career, as a classically trained pianist; and his first love, literature--he considers himself first and foremost as a reader--into what is sure to be one of the most provocative and unusual investigations into how we understand the act of reading"--

Author Introduction

피터 멘델선드(지은이)

앨프리드 A. 크노프 출판사 부副아트디렉터, 판테온북스 출판사 아트디렉터이며 피아니스트로 활발한 활동을 다시 시작했다. 그가 디자인한 대표적인 책 표지로는 ‘밀레니엄’ 시리즈가 있으며, 조이스·카프카·도스토옙스키·시몬 드 보부아르·푸코 등의 작품 전집, 마틴 에이미스·톰 매카시·벤 마커스·요 네스뵈·제임스 글릭 등 수많은 현대 작가들의 책 표지 또한 디자인했다. 『월스트리트 저널』에 의하면 피터 멘델선드는 ‘상징적이며 가장 눈에 잘 띄는’ 디자인으로 현대 소설의 책 표지를 장식한다고 한다. 현재 뉴욕에서 살고 있다.
