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
A brand new edition of Ursula Le Guin's groundbreaking work of science fiction - The Left Hand of Darkness tells the story of a lone human emissary to Winter, an alien world whose habitants can change their gender
A lone human emissary journeys from Earth to the planet of Winter, an alien world whose inhabitants can choose - and change - their gender.
His goal is to secure Winter's inclusion in a growing intergalactic civilisation, but to do so he must bridge the gulf between his own views and the culture he encounters.
Forced into a perilous partnership with an outcast on a journey across the planet's bitter, whirling snow, he learns how survival, trust and love take shape in a world nothing like his own.
A visionary classic, The Left Hand of Darkness reshaped fiction with its radical exploration of gender, human connection and power.
WITH AN INTRODUCTION FROM DAVID MITCHELL
Review
One of the best science fiction novels ever written -- George R.R. Martin
A jewel of a story -- Frank Herbert
Genre cannot contain Ursula Le Guin: she is a genre in herself -- Zadie Smith
Ursula Le Guin is a chemist of the heart
The exquisite prose . . . sings with every step. It is one thing to write a good story, or a great story. It is a whole other accomplishment, for an author of fiction, to write a true story -- Becky Chambers
A rich and complex story of friendship and love ― Guardian
One of the most extraordinary examples of soft-core sf . . . reflects the author's formidable background in anthropology as well as her overriding ethical and artistic concerns ― New York Times
No single story did more to upend the genre's conventions ― Paris Review
Le Guin's novel imagines how bridges can be built, chasms crossed. By the end, the book has changed us. Thus, the author not only demonstrates how to build worlds. She shows why we build worlds in the first place. ― Tor.com
As profuse and original in invention as The Lord of the Rings -- Michael Moorcock
Ursula Le Guin is a chemist of the heart -- David Mitchell
