Keywords: Daniel Pennac; Saga Malaussène; book covers;

Summary/Abstract: We all know the saying “don’t judge a book by its cover”. But, in fact, the cover is an invitation intended to catch the eye, to arouse the interest of the reader to buy the volume and dive into the story. Its composition must, therefore, be carefully crafted to reflect the content of the book as much as possible and not to betray the intentions of the writer. In this paper, we analyze the front cover and the back cover of the novels of the Malaussène Saga by Daniel Pennac, a novel cycle published by Gallimard Publishing House between 1985 and 2023.
