Imagine an enthusiastic young man who encounters a scholar he idolizes. For decades, he accompanies this figure, meticulously recording everything his idol does or says: whom he visits, what he eats, with whom, in which pubs, and the conversations that unfold. Picture the scholar as witty, highly educated, tempestuous, quick-witted, and a profoundly contradictory, free, and fascinating spirit. The young man is sensitive and possesses a sense of humor. This scenario encapsulates the essence of the most famous biography of all time: James Boswell's life description of Dr. Samuel Johnson, the writer, lexicographer, and literary authority of the 18th century. From the captivating portrait of an extraordinary man emerges a vivid depiction of his era and our European culture.

Homérovy eposy tvoří jeden ze základů evropské vzdělanosti, ocitly by se v seznamu pěti nejdůležitějších literárních děl evropské kultury, a to na místech předních. Opětovné vydání, tentokrát v kapesní formě, poskytne dorůstajícím generacím studentů a badatelů praktický podklad k soustavnému studiu. Překlady, které nepocházejí od Otmara Vaňorného, většinou postrádají číslování veršů a pro badatelské a studijní účely jsou prakticky nepoužitelné. Tedy ač kapesní vydání, splňuje i zřetel použitelnosti v odborném kontextu. Překlad Otmara Vaňorného se svým nádechem archaičnosti je zatím nepřekonaným přetlumočením Homérových eposů. Vydání vychází z třetího vydání (Jan Laichter, Praha 1942).

The Natural History of Selborne (1789) is the distillation of a lifetime of observing nature, and ranges far beyond White's immediate neighbourhood noted in the title. Written during a turbulent time in world history, it is a celebration of the endeavours of both human beings and animals to survive. White's main aims were to induce readers to pay more attention to the wonders around them, and to advance their knowledge of the variety of life: his success has made this book a classic, and has made his name one of the most revered among British naturalists.

The 1660s represent a turning point in English history, and for the main events -- the Restoration, the Dutch War, the Great Plague and the Fire of London -- Pepys provides a definitive eyewitness account. As well as recording public and historical events, Pepys paints a vivid picture of his personal life, from his socializing and amorous entanglements, to his theatre-going and his work at the Navy Board. Unequaled for its frankness, high spirits and sharp observations, the diary is both a literary masterpiece and a marvelous portrait of seventeenth-century life.Previously published as The Shorter Pepys, this edition is edited and abridged by Robert Latham, Fellow and Pepys Librarian at Magdalene College, Cambridge.

Mladý, nezkušený a "čistý" Candide je vychováván na zámku barona Thunder-ten-Tronckha filozofem Panglosem. Když ale nevinně políbí ruku baronovy dcery Kunhuty, je vyhnán z ráje kopanci pana barona a fackami paní baronky. Na cestách Evropou, Novým světem, mezi národy civilizované i primitivní postupně nabývá zkušenosti, setkává se s čestnými formami zla - ať už je působí jednotlivec, společnost nebo příroda. Přesto se Candide nevzdává optimismu, jemuž ho Panglos naučil.
