The burial of the sardine
by Francisco Goya

This painting is on the cover of the Croatian edition of Daniel Kehlmann’s novel Tyll. The choice is great because it evokes the subject of the book, which, in my opinion, is the victory of play, of art, of homo ludens over the tragic, bloody and so fleeting mundane everyday things. Tyll, a symbol of this principle, never dies even if he often seems defeated… Great book!
