Karwansaray Publishers

Karawansaray is an independent publishing company located in The Netherlands.

We are specialized in the production of non-fiction books and magazines with a historical focus. History isn’t black and white and we believe it shouldn’t be presented as such. That’s why we make a special effort to bring together many voices and opinions in our publications. We have a passion for finding new perspectives on the past.

Staying current

While we recognize the importance of traditional publishing techniques and media, we also believe in exploring all of the possibilities created by the digital revolution.

We are actively experimenting with ebooks and podcasts, while using Facebook, blogs and Twitter to communicate with new readers. There’s no question that the publishing industry is evolving and we intend on taking full advantage of new innovations.

Beautiful and thought-provoking

We know that there’s more to a good read than just a gripping text. All of our books are of the highest possible quality: our bindings, paper and printing are always a cut above.

We don’t neglect the pictures either: our monographs are richly illustrated not only with detailed photographs, but also with original drawings and paintings made just for us.

Accessible history

Much of the latest research in the field of history is targeted at an academic audience and is often expensive, difficult to find and frustrating to read. Karawansary is dedicated to taking the newest ideas in historical studies and making them available to an informed yet diverse audience through high-quality publications written by experts and academics.
