Natur & Kultur is a Swedish publishing foundation with its head office in Stockholm. It is known for an extensive series of teaching materials, and its logotype is an apple tree.

Overview

The publishing house was founded in 1922 by Johan Hansson and his wife, Jenny Bergqvist Hansson, focusing on educational and didactic literature. During the Second World War, it published anti-Nazi literature. It was transformed into a foundation in 1947.[1]

In the 1980s and 1990s, Natur & Kultur bought several other publishing houses, such as Askild & Kärnekull Förlag AB (later renamed Legenda) and LTs Förlag. In addition to textbooks for different levels of education, Natur & Kultur also publishes literary classics and mainstream literature.[1]
