Literární program

Tato série se zabývá zásadním významem literatury a čtení v dnešním světě, přičemž kriticky zkoumá stav literární výuky na akademické půdě. Každá kniha představuje polemický pohled na to, jak jsou tradiční literární hodnoty zpochybňovány jak zevnitř, tak zvenčí. V době ekonomické nejistoty a technologických změn se série snaží o obnovení a zdůraznění smyslu a přínosu literárního čtení pro myšlení.
