Gyldendal Norsk Forlag AS, commonly referred to as Gyldendal N.F. and in Norway often only as Gyldendal, is one of the largest Norwegian publishing houses.[1] It was founded in 1925 after buying rights to publications from the Danish publishing house Gyldendal, which the company also takes it name from.
Gyldendal Norsk Forlag AS
Gyldendal Norsk Forlag AS was founded in 1925. It was established when a group of Norwegian investors "bought home" the works of "The Four Greats" and Knut Hamsun, which had previously been published by the Danish publishing house Gyldendal. Harald Grieg had a central role in this operation and became the new company's director, and Hamsun, who had been awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1920, provided significant capital and became its largest shareholder.
The company publishes fiction, non-fiction, school books and children books. Gyldendal owns 50% of Kunnskapsforlaget, along with Aschehoug, which publishes encyclopedias
