The Godfather. A modern masterpiece, The Godfather is the epic story of organised crime in the 1940s.

Still shocking more than a quarter-century after it was first published, this compelling tale of blackmail, murder and family values is a true classic.
Amazon.com Review
The story of Don Vito Corleone, the head of a New York Mafia family, inspired some of the most successful movies ever. It is in Mario Puzo's The Godfather that Corleone first appears. As Corleone's desperate struggle to control the Mafia underworld unfolds, so does the story of his family. The novel is full of exquisitely detailed characters who, despite leading unconventional lifestyles within a notorious crime family, experience the triumphs and failures of the human condition. Filled with the requisite valor, love, and rancor of a great epic, The Godfather is the definitive gangster novel.
