Dan Brown - Origin (Robert Langdon series book)

The image features the back cover of Origin, a mystery thriller novel by American author Dan Brown. This specific edition is published by Penguin Books (a subsidiary of Penguin Random House), as evidenced by the 'penguin.co.uk' URL and the branding. The book is part of the world-famous Robert Langdon series, which includes other blockbusters like The Da Vinci Code.

While the intellectual property and author are American, Penguin Random House operates as a global publishing giant with printing facilities across multiple continents. Books for the UK market are typically printed in the United Kingdom or Europe, but given the scale of Dan Brown's releases, production occurs in various regions to meet international demand through local operating divisions. Physical production follows strict environmental standards, as indicated by the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) logo on the packaging.

Currently, the brand is under the ultimate ownership of the German media conglomerate Bertelsmann. Bertelsmann acquired full control of Penguin Random House in 2020 after purchasing the remaining stake from the British educational company Pearson. As of 2026, the company continues to dominate the English-language market as one of the 'Big Five' publishers, managing hundreds of independent imprints worldwide.
