«El Padrino» is Mario Puzo's novel about the mafia, published by B Ediciones in paperback (672 pages, in Spanish and English).
The narrative follows Vito Corleone, a Sicilian who emigrated to the United States and ends up becoming the most powerful figure in New York's underworld, and his son as the continuator of the family business. The work describes organized crime from within, as a parallel society with its own culture, hierarchies, and codes of loyalty.
Translation by Ángel Arnau. Number 161/4 of the Punto de Lectura collection and first installment of the El Padrino series.
For those seeking a classic of fiction about the mafia and organized crime, with the Corleone family at its core.
Mario Francis Puzo was an American author and screenwriter. He wrote crime novels about the Italian-American Mafia and Sicilian Mafia, most notably The Godfather (1969), which he later co-adapted into a film trilogy directed by Francis Ford Coppola. He received the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for the first film in 1972 and for Part II in 1974. Puzo also wrote the original screenplay for the 1978 Superman film and its 1980 sequel. His final novel, The Family, was released posthumously in 2001.
