The covers of this trilogy were conceived by the Viking design team, led by Richard Bravery (who also designed the very different look of the paperback editions). They are meant to complement each other but, individually, remain beautiful books, with embossed lettering, gilding and striking endpapers. They have been taken up by my US and French publishers – always a compliment to the original design.

This cover was inspired by nouvelle vague movie posters. The book is set precisely in 1968 and we wanted to somehow conjure up the “Swingin’ 60s”. It works very well, I think, and was widely used by other foreign publishers.

The Romantic

The Romantic

A new “whole life” novel from William Boyd, the author of Any Human Heart. Set in the 19th century, the novel follows the roller-coaster fortunes of a man as he tries to negotiate the random stages, adventures and vicissitudes of his life. He is variously a soldier, a lover, a husband, a father, a bankrupt, a friend of famous poets, a writer, a jailbird, a farmer, an African explorer – and many other manifestations – before, finally, he becomes a minor diplomat, a consul based in Trieste (then in Austria-Hungary) where he thinks he will see out the end of his days in well-deserved tranquillity. This will not come to pass.

Another one of my all-time favourite covers that visualises a precise moment at the very end of the novel when a balloon rises into the air over 19th century Venice.
