Origin by Dan Brown (Penguin Books)

This image displays the back cover of the novel Origin by Dan Brown, specifically the edition published by Penguin Books in the UK. The book is part of the famed Robert Langdon series, following the adventures of a Harvard symbologist. While authors like Dan Brown are globally recognized, the localized publishing rights for English-speaking markets are typically divided, with Penguin Random House handling the United Kingdom and Commonwealth territories.

Manufacturing of physical books for the UK market generally takes place within the United Kingdom or occasionally in European partner facilities to manage logistics and demand. Penguin's presence in the UK dates back to its founding in 1935, and it revolutionized the publishing industry by making high-quality literature affordable for the general public.

Today, the brand is part of Penguin Random House, the world's largest consumer book publisher. The company was formed in 2013 through a merger of Penguin Group and Random House. It is ultimately owned by the German media conglomerate Bertelsmann, which acquired full control of the entity in 2020.
