Cover Reveal/Descubre la portada!: Por Amor Al Arte de Sharon Biggs Waller!!

Hello there guys!!

Today I'm super happy and honoured to share the cover for the Spanish edition of A Mad Wicked Folly by Sharon Biggs Waller!

A Mad Wicked Folly was one of my favourite books from last year and probably my favourite debut book of 2014. I adore historical fiction and this one was the best kind of historical fiction and it was also very dear to my feminist heart!

Hola a todos!

 Hoy estoy super feliz y honrada de poder compartir con todos vosotros la portada de la edición española de A Mad Wicked Folly, en español "Por Amor Al Arte" de Sharon Biggs Waller!

 A Mad Wicked Folly/Por Amor Al Arte fue uno de mis libros favoritos del año pasado y probablemente el favorito de todos los libros de debut del 2014. Adoro la ficción histórica y este libro es de la mejor clase de ficción histórica que además es uno de esos libros que me entusiasmaron como feminista!


Ready to see the cover now??/ ¿Preparados para ver la portada ya?

I love that they've kept the original artwork for the hardback because I absolutely adoooore this cover! And I just love the title in Spanish! Por Amore Al Arte means for the love of art which is perfect given Vicky's love for art, but it's also a play with words that means doing something for free, without expecting anything in return.

Me encanta que hayan conservado el diseño original de la portada del libro de tapa dura en inglés porque adooooro la portada! Y por supuesto me encanta la traducción escogida para el título! No sólo es perfecto como tal, dado el amor de Vicky por el arte, si no que además añades el juego de palabras!

      ¡A mi también! Es muy similar al diseño bello de los Estados Unidos ^_^ ¡También retiene las mismas palabras bajo el título!

    That looks so elegant in Spanish! I love this book (one of my favorites from last year), and I love the cover. I'm surprised that they changed the title - I wonder how often that happens.

    That's a very interesting note about the figurative meaning about "the love of art." Is that a very common expression?

      Changing the title makes a lot of sense in this case, I must confess I couldn't think of a good Spanish literal translation for a A Mad Wicked Folly myself at all, and they chose a very apt title!

      For the love of art as an expression is quite common, people use it all the time when complaining about being asked to do something for free as in " what, should I do that just for the love of art?"
