Author Mario Puzo

Narrator Stepan Starchikov

The book is far more complex than it might seem at first glance. There’s bandit romance in it, vivid images, and small, realistic details. Don Corleone combines good and evil at the same time. He can be merciful, or he can be vengeful. And although a human life is not what he values, he has principles he is ready to defend without hesitation. This man created an empire where his laws apply. Whether good with a weapon in hand is good, or evil wearing the mask of a noble criminal—readers will decide.
In this work there are many murders, yet piles of corpses are perceived as the result of just retribution. Don Corleone doesn’t live by the law, but sometimes he stands above it, becoming the final court of justice. He helps those whom no one else can help. He takes responsibility for his family, trying to give it the best. And one of the sons of a dying father becomes his worthy replacement.
Can good be with fists? Can revenge be noble, and crime just? The book makes you look at familiar, well-worn things differently, raising eternal questions about good and evil.
