Concept: This cover features a photograph that is a true work of art, and the rest of the elements give way to the grandeur and beauty of the live human sculpture. Apart from the ornate type used in the title, everything else is kept as simple as possible - from a subdued serif typeface to the strictly monochromatic colour scheme - the whole design stays true to its mission of bringing this literary composition to life in one dynamically captivating still image. The green overlay pays tribute to the Brazilian flag for the Portuguese translation.
There are mentors in everyone’s life. Often they are subtle influences, that one does not realize until much later in life. The Sweet Dream of Life (Il Sogno Dolce di Vita)
