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
Hair as black as ebony, lips as red as blood and skin as white as snow: this is the unforgettable description of Snow White, the captivating protagonist of one of the best loved and well-known fairy tales of all time. The adventures of the beautiful maiden, taken in by the seven dwarfs after escaping from the wicked queen, have fascinated children all over the world and inspired plays, ballets, musicals and movie adaptations, including Disney s 1937 animated version. This book includes the adapted and modernised original text by the Brothers Grimm, who first collected and published the popular fairy tale in 1812, and is enhanced by elegant illustrations by Manuela Adreani, an artist of rare sensitivity capable of sketching the story s best loved passages and characters in a vivid and innovative style. From the queens conversation with her magic mirror to Snow White s escape through the woods; from her meeting with the seven dwarfs to the poisoned apple s spell: the stunning illustrations capture and convey all the magic and charm of a fairy tale that has now become a timeless classic.
