The Godfather
By Mario Puzo.
Filmed as The
Godfather (1972), directed by Francis Ford Coppola.
Published by Berkley.
First published 1969.
Paperback.
ISBN-10: 0451205766
ISBN-13: 978-0451205766
Description:
“A staggering
triumph...The definitive novel about a sinister fraternity of crime.” – The
Saturday Review.
“You can’t stop reading
it, and you’ll find it hard to stop dreaming about it.” – New York Magazine.
50th ANNIVERSARY EDITION
– WITH A NEW INTRODUCTION BY FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA.
Mario Puzo’s classic
saga of an American crime family that became a global phenomenon – nominated as
one of America’s best-loved novels by PBS’s The Great American Read.
With its brilliant and
brutal portrayal of the Corleone family, The Godfather burned its way
into our national consciousness. This unforgettable saga of crime and
corruption, passion and loyalty continues to stand the test of time, as the
definitive novel of the Mafia underworld.
A #1 New York Times
bestseller in 1969, Mario Puzo’s epic was turned into the incomparable film of
the same name, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, which won the Academy Award
for Best Picture. It is the original classic that has been often imitated, but
never matched. A tale of family and society, law and order, obedience and
rebellion, it reveals the dark passions of human nature played out against a
backdrop of the American dream.
With
a Note from Anthony Puzo and an Afterword by Robert J. Thompson.
Lauren B. Davis, on writing:
If you are a real writer, then just surrender to the writer's life, all of it, even the bad stuff.
When you do that, the beauty appears:
the peace, the meaning, the joy, the fulfillment,
the sense that you are doing what you were born to do
and what could be better, in the end, than that?
- Lauren B. Davis.
