Synopsis

La publicación de El Padrino en 1969 supuso una convulsión en el mundo literario. Por primera vez, la Mafia protagonizaba una novela y era retratada desde dentro. El protagonista, Vito Corleone, es el capo más respetado de Nueva York. Déspota benevolente, implacable con sus rivales, inteligente y fiel a los principios del honor y la amistad, Don Corleone dirige un emporio que abarca el fraude y la extorsión, los juegos de azar y el control de los sindicatos. Con El Padrino, Mario Puzo consiguió crear un género.

Criticas

In this 1969 classic, Puzo takes readers inside the violent world of New York's Mafia and its gang wars. Movie fans will immediately recognize Mafia leader and protagonist Vito Corleone, a benevolent despot who will do anything to gain power. Copyright 2003 Cahners Business Information.

About the Author, Mario Puzo

Lifelong New Yorker Mario Puzo drew upon figures in his Italian-American family to create the characters in his smash hit The Godfather in 1969; but he claimed never to have met a real-life mobster, and his detailed portrait of the Mafia world came entirely from diligent research.
