Penguin Books Citizens: A Chronicle of the French Revolution by Simon Schama

Citizens: A Chronicle of the French Revolution is a critically acclaimed historical work by Simon Schama, first published in 1989. This specific edition bears the iconic branding of Penguin Books, a publishing house that revolutionized the industry in the 1930s by making high-quality literature accessible and affordable through mass-market paperbacks.

While the brand has deep British roots, Penguin Books is now part of Penguin Random House, the world's largest trade book publisher. Since 2020, this global entity has been a wholly-owned subsidiary of the German media conglomerate Bertelsmann.

Due to the scale of its operations, Penguin Random House utilizes a global supply chain for production. While many English-language editions are printed in the United Kingdom or the United States, the physical manufacturing of their books occurs in multiple countries across six continents to serve diverse international markets.
