«El Padrino / La Mamma» is the volume that brings together two novels by Mario Puzo, published by Mundo Actual de Ediciones in paperback (824 pages, in Spanish).
The volume brings together two sides of Mario Puzo's narrative: «El Padrino», the story of the Corleone family and organized crime in the United States, and «La Mamma», which follows Lucia Santa, an Italian mother trying to support her family of emigrants in early twentieth-century New York, inspired by the author's own mother.
«La Mamma» was originally published in English as «The Fortunate Pilgrim» (1965). The volume belongs to the Biblioteca Siglo XX collection, published in 1980.
For fans of Mario Puzo and crime fiction, and for readers interested in stories of immigration and family life in the big city.
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.
