Summary
Mario Puzo: The Godfather
Mario Puzo's world-renowned masterpiece, The Godfather, undisputedly rules the cinematic and literary heritage and inspires awe. The New York Times bestseller from the moment it appeared in 1969 became a legend: Francis Ford Coppola brought it to the screen and won eleven Oscars. The story of Don Vito Corleone begins in New York in 1946. He is a family man, generous and reasonable on the one hand, but also a ruthless Sicilian mobster, the unquestioned boss of Cosa Nostra. His days are numbered, but there is still no true heir to whom he can leave his empire, although the youngest Michael seems brave and loyal enough to continue on the same path. Relations between the five main mafia families in New York are tense, and the Corleones will be carried away by bloody ambition, heroism and desperation in the defense of family dignity.
