Claire Harrup has illustrated a new cover for ‘If This is a Man / The Truce’ for Abacus’s 50th Anniversary.

Claire Harrup has illustrated a new cover for Primo Levi’s profound memoir ‘If This is a Man / The Truce’, for publisher Abacus Books 50th anniversary celebrations. Claire’s cover captures the art director Nico’s vision of a bold and graphic image depicting Auschwitz in the foreground, while playing with sunlight tot capture a sense of prevailing hope.

Claire then scanned all the individual elements, assembling and colouring digitally to create a visually striking cover that both stands on its own and works well as part of the series of iconic reads.
