Hardback. Condition: Used. ummary of The Godfather by Mario Puzo Mario Puzo?s The Godfather is a gripping crime novel that explores power, loyalty, and the complexities of family within the world of organized crime. Set primarily in the 1940s and 1950s, the novel follows the rise and reign of Don Vito Corleone, the head of the powerful Corleone crime family in New York. The story begins with the wedding of Don Corleone?s daughter, Connie, where the Don receives various requests for favors?establishing his influence and the Sicilian tradition of respect. Soon after, rival crime families challenge his authority, particularly when he refuses to enter the narcotics trade. This decision leads to an assassination attempt that leaves him critically wounded, forcing his sons?hotheaded Sonny, weak-willed Fredo, and reluctant war hero Michael?to take control of family affairs. Michael, initially detached from the family business, is drawn into the world of crime when he avenges his father?s shooting by killing a corrupt police captain and a rival gangster. Forced to flee to Sicily, Michael finds both love and tragedy before returning to America. Meanwhile, Sonny?s reckless leadership ends in his brutal murder, leaving Michael as the family?s only viable heir. Upon his return, Michael methodically consolidates power, marries his former love, Kay, and orchestrates a ruthless campaign to eliminate the Corleone family's enemies. By the novel?s end, he has become the new Godfather , cementing his transformation from an innocent outsider to a ruthless crime boss. The Godfather is a masterful tale of power, tradition, and the moral dilemmas of family loyalty, offering a deep dive into the workings of the Mafia and its code of honor. . Seller Inventory # 2708
