內容簡介: |
New York, 1933. The city and the nation are in the depths of
the Great Depression. The crime families of New York have prospered
in this time, but with the coming end of Prohibition, a battle is
looming that will determine which organizations will rise and which
will face a violent end.
For Vito Corleone, nothing is more important that his family''s
future. While his youngest children, Michael, Fredo, and Connie,
are in school, unaware of their father''s true occupation, and his
adopted son Tom Hagen is a college student, he worries most about
Sonny, his eldest child. Vito pushes Sonny to be a businessman, but
Sonny-17 years-old, impatient and reckless-wants something else: To
follow in his father''s footsteps and become a part of the real
family business.
An exhilarating and profound novel of tradition and violence, of
loyalty and betrayal, The Family Corleone will appeal to the
legions of fans who can never get enough of The Godfather, as well
as introduce it to a whole new generation.
