Summary
Mario Puzo: The Sicilian
Puzo's classic Sicilian novel occupies a special place in his oeuvre. An energetic presentation of a fascinating moral drama in a recognizable style - dark and austere - complements the story begun in The Godfather.
After two years in exile, Michael Corleone stands on the pier in Palermo. His forced stay in Sicily was coming to an end, but before he finally set foot on the native soil of the United States of America, an important task awaited him. His godfather specifically ordered him not to return home unless he brought a man named Salvatore Giuliano with him.
Giuliano, a living legend, the most famous outlaw and unofficial ruler of western Sicily, made a name for himself by fighting for the rights of the oppressed Sicilian peasantry, bravely opposing both the government in Rome and the ruthless network of Friends. Giuliano will not fight the decisive battle against the police and the army, but against Don Croce Mal, a cruel mob boss. Threatening the steely authority of Don Croce, Giuliano embarked on a merciless war from which the defeated will not emerge with their head on their shoulders.
