The Norwegian publishing house of Aschehoug was founded in 1872 by the two cousins Hieronymus and Halvard Aschehoug. Right up to the end of the previous century, virtually all Norwegian literature of importance had been published by Danish companies. William Nyggaard however, who had taken over Aschehoug from 1888, set himself the task of building up a major, independent Norwegian publishing house which could compete for Norwegian authors on an equal footing with its powerful Danish rivals. Over the years Aschehoug has contributed considerably to the national literature of Norway, and been the publisher of for instance Nobel Prize Winner Sigrid Undset. Today Aschehoug is the largest publishing house in Norway, still working in accordance with the idealistic guidelines set down by William Nyggaard senior. In our visionary strategy the values of tradition and innovation are emphasized along with the importance of independence and freedom of speech. more
