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 sensitive storybook of a wonderful country. Enjoy an atmospheric pictorial safari and unveil a new facet of Michael Poliza's award-winning wildlife photography. Classic Africa shows a selection of his favourite pictures, all taken between 2002 and 2010. It's not a simple best-of, while playing around with light and shadows, the images start to become alive. They now leave much more to individual interpretation and personal imagination. The pictures take us back in time and remind us of the days when Africa was little travelled, the habitat for animals was once vast and plentiful and man's influence was barely visible. Poliza's groundbreaking books of wildlife and landscape photography were hailed by the critics and readers alike and became instant bestsellers. In Classic Africa you will discover a complete new aspect of Michael Poliza's famed wildlife pictures. Named as an ambassador of the WWF in 2009, Poliza’s view point is shaped by his concern for the fragile ecosystems he chronicles.
"We must all realize how fragile the African ecosystem has become and how quickly more and more species are losing their habitat. Let's all aim to preserve as much of our original Africa – in fact, part of our own heritage – as possible. It really is never too late. Or, if you prefer, it's better late than never. “ (Michael Poliza)
