La publicacion de El Padrino en 1969 convulsiono el mundo literario. Por primera vez, la Mafia protagonizaba una novela y era retratada desde dentro. Mario Puzo la presentaba no como una mera asociacion de facinerosos, sino como una compleja sociedad con una cultura propia y una jerarquia aceptada incluso mas alla de los circulos de delincuencia. El Padrino narra la historia de un hombre: Vito Corleone, el capo mas respetado de Nueva York. Despota benevolente, implacable con sus rivales, inteligente y fiel a los principios del honor y la amistad, Don Corleone dirige un emporio que abarca el fraude y la extorsion, los juegos de azar y el control de los sindicatos. La vida y negocios de Don Corleone, asi como los de su hijo y heredero Michael, conforman el eje de esta magistral obra. Con El Padrino, Mario Puzo consiguio crear un genero.

A classic among the modern classics, which I had woefully ignored, I barely even remember watching the film. Clea...
Do I even need to explain what this one is about? Epic spanning a whole Mafia family sprawled across a decade. Onto review: Like I said in the first comment, the thing that pulls you in immediately is the perfect setting up of the magnetism, the why clans work. The comfort of belonging, the empowe...
