Google translate says this book is called “The man in the tree”.
And translates the blurb as “He saw the wonderful wonders of strange worlds and brought their light to the dark earth”.
So why isn’t he IN the tree rather than lounging moodily against it? What happened to his nether regions? And if he’s bringing the light of “wonderful wonders” to a dark earth shouldn’t he be you know, talking to someone at least?
So many questions…

It was only a matter of time before there was a Spot the Ball competition round here.

Can’t see the wood for the tree?

Good thing the publisher also labeled his ethnicity clearly. There is nothing worse than seeing a protagonist depicted on the cover and not knowing if he is a Pict or a Jute or a Carthaginian.

Random fact for the day: a male dryad is known as a drus!

@Bruce: The drus in the truss?

For the cover of Der Mann im Mond he turns around.

Ever accidentally get locked out of your tree naked while getting the newspaper?

It’s not just die Erde that’s dark here.
That is one awkward pose he’s in (not even counting the obvious area). He seems to have a spine that’s dislocated. And it looks like he’s lounging with one hand and maybe a bit of one shoulder the only parts that are touching the tree. Guess he didn’t want the rough bark touching all that nekkid muscle.
He might not actually be touching der Baum at all, just lounging in a weird pose.
@Dave M: So many questions, all of them valid.
@Tor: GSS!
@FB: heh.

I thought, “something seems funny with this cover, something missing, besides his manhood.” Then I realized, there’s no background. This doesn’t appear to be an actual photograph, as our rules still require. Perhaps, however, it was the right thing to do to make an exception for this particular cover.

Which one’s Pythias?

@Tat: The scoliosis-suffering nudist we see is Pythias.
The title clearly tells us that Damon is in the tree and thus not visible.
Presumably he learned this:
