Description
By Mario Puzo
New York, 1945. Vito Corleone is godfather to one of the five families, a man who prefers reason and favours to violence and who has built something close to a parallel state out of both.
When he refuses to enter the narcotics trade, the refusal starts a war, and his youngest son Michael, a decorated marine who wanted nothing to do with the family business, walks into it deliberately and never comes out. The novel covers 1945 to 1955, and its epigraph, from Balzac, is that behind every great fortune there is a crime.
