The Godfather

The Corleone clan is the most powerful in all of America. For society, they are oil traders, but in reality, their sphere of influence is much greater. The only thing Don Corleone refuses to get his hands dirty with is drugs. His refusal greatly offends the other families. Such a thing is unforgivable for an aging don. A long war between the clans begins. The concept of blood vengeance is still alive, so the bloodshed can only be stopped by taking a risky move. Few will survive until the truce, but even that won't help them avoid retribution for old sins…

«The Godfather» has long become a cult book. Puzo vividly and accurately described the life of one of the powerful criminal syndicates in America—the mafia clan of Don Corleone, giving the reader a rare opportunity to peer into the inner sanctum of the mafia without risking their life.
Puzo's novel formed the basis for the famous film directed by Francis Ford Coppola. This film received nineteen different awards and is rightfully considered one of the best in world cinema.
