It is part of Penguin Random House, which is owned by German media conglomerate Bertelsmann and global education and publishing company Pearson PLC. Random House also has an entertainment production arm for film and television, Random House Studio; one release in 2011 was One Day. The company also creates story content for media including video games, social networks on the web, and mobile platforms. It is one of the largest English-language publishers, formerly known as the "Big 6", now known as the "Big Five".
Bertelsmann owns 53% of the joint venture.
Random House was founded in 1927 by Americans Bennett Cerf and Donald Klopfer, two years after they acquired the Modern Library imprint from publisher Horace Liveright, which reprints classic works of literature. Cerf is quoted as saying, "We just said we were going to publish a few books on the side at random," which suggested the name Random House. In 1934 they published the first authorized edition of James Joyce's novel Ulysses in the Anglophone world.
I believe you came from heaven
The gift of love from God to us
When I look into your eyes
when you smile
I believe there is God with us
You are everything to me, my baby
What would I have without you
Little angel you are
When you are crying in the night
Little angel you are
When you are sleeping in your bed
Little angel you are
When I see your smiling face
Little angel you are
When I hold your hand in mine
Years will go by like the clouds
in the wind
And I hope you will stay in truth
God is love and His mercy reach to you
Live in peace blood is over you
One thing I want you to know, my baby
Love is everything you need
World will be cold
when you open the door
Keep your look in the cross
When I have gone away
There is hope in the air
