V roce 2012 se součástí Nakladatelství Slovart stalo nakladatelství Brio. Nakladatelství Brio vydávalo ve spolupráci s předními spisovateli a výtvarníky nádherně ilustrované originální příběhy a sbírky pohádek pro děti od šesti do dvanácti let. Pro starší děti, mládež a dospělé Brio nabízelo sebrané spisy pohádek a bajek od renomovaných spisovatelů, doplněné o to nejlepší z klasické literatury celého světa. V této tradici pokračujeme také my v rámci stejnojmenné edice.
Jsme výhradní distributor nakladatelství TASCHEN pro Českou republiku
Explore singular destinations with The Leading Hotels of the World in this celebration of exceptional hospitality, extraordinary cultural heritage, and unforgettable travel locales
Embark on a stunning visual journey through The Leading Hotels of the World, a collection of the world’s most exclusive independent luxury hotels, which consistently dominates prestigious awards, securing top positions in Travel + Leisure’s World’s Best Awards and Condé Nast Traveler’s Readers’ Choice Awards.
Richly illustrated and expertly edited, this exquisite volume – the second in The Leading Hotels of the World multi-volume series – celebrates legendary hospitality through lasting traditions and impeccable artistry. Culture features a curated selection of more than 80 hotels from LHW’s 400-plus-member collection across 80 countries. From subtle architectural interventions at a 200-plus-year-old estate in Portugal’s Alentejo countryside to an intricately layered Venetian palazzo that embodies Italian craftsmanship, discover how local touches, age-old rituals, and international art serve exceptional hospitality. Also included are six in-depth feature stories capturing the essence of Capella Ubud, Bali; De L’Europe Amsterdam; Le Sirenuse in Positano, Italy; Royal Mansour Marrakech; São Lourenço do Barrocal in Monsaraz, Portugal; and Violino d’Oro in Venice, Italy.
Edited and produced by Spencer Bailey and the New York–based editorial studio of The Slowdown, the book features a foreword by acclaimed travel writer and author Pico Iyer and contributions from leading art, culture, and travel writers and journalists such as Maura Egan, Laura Itzkowitz, Lee Marshall, Christina Ohly Evans, Sarah Miller, Cynthia Rosenfeld, Jad Salfiti, and John Wogan. Interviews with and expert travel tips from dozens of notable cultural figures – Sarah Arison, Andy Baraghani, Solange Azagury-Partridge, Tom Dixon, Casey Fremont, Stephen Fry, Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn, Deborah Needleman, and Marlies Verhoeven among them – are also found in its pages, as well as original images by acclaimed photographers including Mark Borthwick and Stefan Giftthaler.
A beautiful addition to this quintessential travel series, Culture is presented in a deep Moroccan-blue silken case with an eye-catching pattern inspired by Moorish-style screens. Silver foil details, painted edges, and complementary ribbons add to the book’s extraordinary package, which truly embodies the elevated, highly refined level of luxury of LHW.
