Under Albert Bonniers son and successor Karl Otto Bonnier (1856–1941) the company grew to be one of the largest publishers in Sweden. Many well-known Swedish authors have been published by Albert Bonniers Förlag. Notable authors in the 19th century included August Blanche, Zacharias Topelius and Viktor Rydberg. Later, Albert Bonniers Förlag was the publisher of the leading Swedish authors August Strindberg, Verner von Heidenstam, Gustaf Fröding, Selma Lagerlöf and Hjalmar Söderberg, and the next generation including Pär Lagerkvist, Vilhelm Moberg, Eyvind Johnson and Harry Martinson. The company was also a prolific publisher of non-fiction books and published magazines such as the literary magazine Bonniers Litterära Magasin, started in 1932.[3][4][5][6]
