The Godfather
Mario Puzo · 2002 · 450 pages
Apparso nel 1969 con un successo senza precedenti, questo romanzo continua a rappresentare il mondo della mafia italo-americana. I legami della "famiglia", i rituali del "rispetto", gli intrecci tra potere politico e malavita, gli spietati regolamenti di conti, la vita quotidiana dei boss e dei loro sicari, la capillare organizzazione degli affari illeciti, gli amori, le vendette, i matrimoni, i funerali. Il quadro incredibilmente autentico e agghiacciante dei metodi della mafia, delle sue alleanze e connivenze, dei delitti e delle lotte intestine.

Jackie Collins
“This is another book I reread every couple of years. Mario Puzo creates a tapestry of Mafia life that’s so rich and brilliant the characters jump off the page and become part of your life. Puzo’s writing is vibrant and timeless. The movie The Godfather is a classic; so is the book that it’s based on.”↗
