    • Prvý slovenský preklad diela Thomasa Mora Utópia (vyšlo r. 1516 v Antverpách) obohatí náš knižný trh o nosné klasické dielo, ktoré sa dostalo do učebníc, no doposiaľ u nás z neho vyšli len fragmenty. Toto je teda v slovenčine prvé kompletné vydanie. Rozprávanie o živote na fiktívnom ostrove Utópia sa začína stretnutím troch postáv, medzi ktorými sa rozprúdi rozhovor tvoriaci vlastný obsah diela.Thomas More a Peter Giles počúvajú rozprávanie fiktívnej postavy, „scestovaného“ Rafaela Hythlodaya o vzdialených krajoch.

      One of the many aspects of Alexander Pushkin's immense contribution to Russian language and literature, and perhaps the one he is most popular for, is his mastery of the love poem, a genre which he perfected like few others before or after him. This volume contains a selection of his most famous and enduring verse explorations of love, such as 'I Loved You', 'Night' and 'I Well Recall a Wondrous Meeting', pieces which are crowning achievements of the European canon and still have the same timeless emotional resonance today.

      In this clear and concise text, Roger Clarke provides balanced and comprehensive coverage of the core topics in industrial economics. Industrial Economics concentrates on the development of analytic principles in the subject, considering available statistical and descriptive evidence as appropriate. The text uses a non-mathematical approach as far as possible.
