Mario Puzo’s The Godfather is a gripping tale of power, loyalty, and crime, centred on Mafia leader Vito Corleone—a ruthless yet ‘reasonable’ despot who stops at nothing to maintain control. As the deadliest figure in the Cosa Nostra, his influence extends from Long Island, where he rules his underground empire, to Hollywood, where the Mafia’s grip tightens around the film industry, and Sicily, the birthplace of the syndicate and a haven for those seeking refuge.
A spellbinding novel of crime and corruption, The Godfather unveils a hidden world where bribery, threats, and exploitation shape a dangerous empire.
