Editorial Nascimento

Editorial Nascimento was a Chilean bookstore and publishing house. It began operating as a bookstore in 1873 and was founded as a publishing house in 1917 by Carlos George-Nascimento and was the first publishing house to publish the first two Nobel Prize winners in literature in Latin America (Gabriela Mistral and Pablo Neruda). In 1924 it published the book Veinte poemas de amor y una canción desesperada de Neruda, which to this day remains the best-selling book of poetry in the Spanish language, just under a century after its first edition.

When George-Nascimento died in February 1966, his publishing house had published 35 of the 37 National Literature Prizes awarded up to that point in Chile, making it one of the most important publishing houses in the history of the Latin American continent. The newspaper El Mercurio called him "Anonymous Hero of the 20th Century". The publishing house ceased operations in 1986 due to the introduction of VAT on books and other factors that affected the company's profitability.
