history

The British publisher Penguin Books , founded by Allen Lane in 1935, opened a branch in Frankfurt am Main in the 1980s . To this day, Penguin Books sells English-language books in German-speaking countries. Penguin Books has been part of the Penguin Random House publishing group , a merger of the Bertelsmann and Pearson book divisions, since 2013 . The Munich-based publishing group Random House did not become part of Penguin Random House, but is assigned to the same division at Bertelsmann. In 2015, the Random House publishing group finally started a new book publisher under the Penguin brand using the British brand. The drawn penguin has changed only minimally in the course of the publishing house's history and has been called a "cult brand" by the World Intellectual Property Organization , among others . At the time Penguin Random House was founded, the Penguin brand was particularly well known in the English-speaking world. The German-language Penguin Verlag is independent in terms of content and organization and is under the editorial management of Thomas Rathnow.

program

Penguin Verlag publishes fiction and non-fiction books as original editions and first editions in German, as well as paperback editions of titles previously published by other group publishers. Penguin Verlag's first program was published in mid-2016 and comprised 64 titles, such as Jonas Jonasson's novel The Illiterate Woman Who Could Arithmetic , Harper Lee's rediscovered first novel Go, put a guard , Randall Munroe's bestseller What If? What happened if? and Caroline Eriksson's psychological thriller The Missing . Eva Schubert is the program manager at Penguin Verlag.

In March 2018, the first Penguin hardcover program was announced for autumn 2018; Britta Egetemeier is named as the publishing director of Penguin Hardcover.
