Beletria, ktorá kedysi označovala krásnu literatúru či krásnu prózu, dnes získala trochu iný význam. Jednak je spoločným názvom pre prozaické diela, ale taktiež aj výrazom pre umeleckú prózu. Zaraďujeme sem najmä romány, novely, črty, poviedky a umeleckú reportáž. Beletria patrí v súčasnosti k najpredávanejším knižným artiklom. Internetové kníhkupectvá vám preto ponúkajú rôzne knihy, ktoré môžete mať po objednaní už zajtra vo vašej domácej knižnici. Urobte vybranou knihou radosť sebe alebo vašim blízkym.
