The Family Corleone
Autor original Ed Falcoen Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 iun 2013
An exhilarating and profound novel of tradition and violence and of loyalty and betrayal,The Family Corleonewill appeal to the legions of fans who can never get enough ofThe Godfather.
New York, 1933: The city and the nation are in the depths of the Great Depression. The crime families of New York have prospered in this time, but with the coming end of Prohibition, a battle is looming that will determine which organizations will rise and which will face a violent end.
For Vito Corleone, nothing is more important that his family's future. While his youngest children, Michael, Fredo, and Connie, are in school, unaware of their father's true occupation, and his adopted son Tom Hagen is a college student, he worries most about Sonny, his eldest child. Vito pushes Sonny to be a businessman, but Sonny-17 years-old, impatient and reckless-wants something else: To follow in his father's footsteps and become a part of the real family business.

Recenzii
"Channels
the
original
so
well
that
readers
will
be
vividly
reminded
of
Puzo's
strengths...His
moments
of
blam-blam-blam
are
ace.
Best
of
all,
he
supplies
a
grand
set-piece
finale--a
parade--that
will
have
readers
dreaming
of
just
one
more
movie."—Booklist
"If you have any knowledge ofThe Godfatheryou will love this book. It's a perfect addition to the Corleone saga...When you see this book, buy it. It is written with love for the characters and respect for Puzo. It is also a story that won't quit and I couldn't stop reading. Falco brought me back to a world I love and did it perfectly. As far as I'm concerned this is THE BOOK to buy in 2012."—Crime Spree Magazine
"Falco has captured Puzo's rich prose style and eye for detail...a solid piece of work."—The Washington Post
"What works well is Falco's depiction of Vito Corleone, which captures both the cool reserve of young Vito and the insight he demonstrates as Don....A worthy addition to the lurid world of the Five Families."—Kirkus
"Falco ably exploits the tension between civility and brutality. The result is good, messy fun."—The Guardian(UK)
"Puzo-worthy."—New York Daily News
"This early snapshot of the Corleone family is fascinating ...Ed Falco has done yeoman's work inThe Family Corleone, meeting the American legend that is its subject matter head-on and creating a tale that demands to be read in one sitting. We already know how it turns out (at least most of it). But it's how Falco and Corleone get from beginning to end that makes this journey a riveting and twisting ride."—BookReporter.com
