Description:
Scarface is the iconic fictionalization of one of history's most
notorious gangsters, Al Capone. It follows Tony Guarino's harsh upbringing on
the streets of Chicago, where a young man unwilling to contemplate a life of
humble poverty hungers to reach the big time. Tony has grown up in a world
where every gangster is a hero and every cop an enemy, so his path to power is
paved with force and brutality. At only eighteen, Tony shoots dead gang boss Al
Spingola, and this is just the beginning of his uncompromising journey into
organized crime. He eventually becomes the most powerful and feared man in the
Chicago underworld, luxuriating in a world of opulence, dames, and danger. But
while Tony struggles to balance a life of violence with a code of honour, Scarface
ultimately proves an ancient maxim - the fate of those who live by the sword.
Scarface was first published
in 1930, and remains one of the most potent evocations of the origins of
American gangster culture ever committed to print, and an ever-green work of
cult fiction.
