If your reading habits have transcended a mere love for books and has taken the form of a basic need that demands fulfillment, Penguin books is your portal to a world where your mammoth appetite will always be sated.

Penguin books was the brainchild of famed British pubisher, Allen Lane. Noticing the lack of good reading material available to the general public at an affordable price, Lane conceived of the idea that would become a revolution in the reading game, one that you are part of today.

Penguin India was started in 1985 and is the largest English language trade publisher in the subcontinent. In 1987, publishing started with only six books in the line-up. Come 2017, as we celebrate thirty years of Penguin India, you can choose from about 250 new titles every year, along with a backlist of over 3000 titles. If there is anything at all your literature-driven mind needs, chances are you will find it with a Penguin book.

While Penguin is recognized for its paperback editions of classic literature, we’re also known for our modern fiction titles, as well as narrative non-fiction including biography, travel, business, politics, history, religion and philosophy, lifestyle, cookery, health and fitness, visual books . . . and the list goes on.

Amongst the reputed titles that have published through Penguin, your favourite Indian authors have featured several times, including Khushwant Singh, Arundhati Roy, Kiran Desai, R.K. Lakshman, Ruskin Bond, Shashi Tharoor, A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, Jerry Pinto and Upamanyu Chatterjee.

For whatever mood you’re in, and whichever version of yourself you want to explore and expand, Penguin Books has got you covered.
