alignment of tables

Post by Jerabkova »

Hi,
I have a problem with alignment of tables. I'm writting a list consist a few tables and all of them I need to have in the same distance of the left edge of the page. I use for all of them the same commands but the left parts of tables are not in the one line (may be it's cause they are in different sections . .i don't know . .)
thanks a lot for help (and I'm really sorry for my english, I still learn)

for some cases here is the short the most important part of source code:

\section{Česká literatura}

\begin{flushleft}

\begin{longtable}{l l}

\textsc{Arbes} Jakub & Ethiopská lilie\\

\textsc{Bass} Eduard & Klabzubova jedenáctka\\

\textsc{Čech} Svatopluk & Výlety pana Broučka\\

\textsc{Erben} Karel Jaromír& Kytice\\
\textsc{Kajnar} Josef & Moje blues\\

\textsc{Loukotková} Jarmila & Navzdory bás\\

\textsc{Neruda} Jan& Povídky malostranské\\

&Písně kosmické (úryvky)\\

\textsc{Nováková} Tereza& Lojzička Hendrychová,\\

\textsc{Otčenášek} Jan& Romeo, Julie a tma\\
\textsc{Procházka} Jaroslav & Stalin v obrazech\\

\textsc{Souček} Ludvík & Hippokratův slib\\

\textsc{Škvorecký} Josef& Zbabělci\\

\end{longtable}

\end{flushleft}


\section{Světová literatura}

\begin{flushleft}

\begin{longtable}{l l}

\textsc{Acheson} David & 1089 a další parádní\\

\textsc{Feynman} Richard P. & Feynmanovy předná\\

& Feynmanovy přednášky z fyziky 2\\
&Radost z poznání\\
\textsc{Landau} L. D &teorie relativity\\

\textsc{Rektoris} Karel & Co j vyšší matematika\\

\textsc{Rybička} Jiří & \LaTeX pro začátečníky\\

\textsc{Scheirich} & astronavigace začátečníky\\


\end{longtable}

\end{flushleft}

Hi,

please post a minimal and compilable version of code (a minimal working example, or MWE) allowing us to reproduce the mentioned problem. Following this link:
