Books that bring cultural heritage to life

Guðrún Publishing is an Icelandic publisher working with Norse mythology, the Icelandic sagas, Nordic cultural history and world literature. Since 1992, we have brought these traditions to readers through accessible texts and carefully produced books, with close attention to language, illustration and design.

Our publications range from books on Viking heritage and runes to Dante’s Divine Comedy in Icelandic verse, accompanied by works from distinguished Icelandic artists. Each offers a way into stories and ideas that continue to shape how we understand ourselves and the world.

Our books are available in museum shops, heritage sites, bookshops and selected retailers across Iceland, Scandinavia, Europe and beyond.
