About this listen

Based on the lives of real people and yet so brutal and shocking in places that it's almost impossible to believe, Mario Puza weaves a dark and compelling narrative that climaxes with a blistering showdown.

Tyrant, blackmailer, racketeer, murderer - his influence reaches every level of American society. Meet Don Corleone, a friendly man, a just man, areasonable man. The deadliest lord of the Cosa Nostra. The Godfather.

A modern masterpiece,The Godfather is a searing portrayal of the 1940s criminal underworld. It is also the intimate story of the Corleone family, at once drawn together and ripped apart by its unique position at the core of the American Mafia. Still shocking 40 years after it was first published, this compelling tale of blackmail, murder, and family values is a true classic.

Critic Reviews

"Here is all the classic material of Mafia mythology... spins a spell all its own" ( The Times)

"The narrative bowls along... to keep readers turning pages all the way to an explosive showdown." ( Daily Mail)

"The Godfather, one of the most entertaining and absorbing popular novels of the postwar period... Puzo's masterpiece" (Robert McCrum, Observer)

"Puzo's genius was to create a world so thick with personality and acknowledged rules of behaviour, along with its crime and violence, that reading his books becomes a seriously guilty pleasure" ( New York Post)

"A splendid and distinguished blood saga of the Cosa Nostra, the American Mafia, and of the whirl created by five families of mafiosi at war in New York" ( Sunday Times)

Most relevant

Loved it.
Classic Mario Puzo, maybe even his best work ever. The grandiose and charm, as well as the structure, strength and the darkness of the Sicilian Corleone family is brought out with such flourish and flair.

The narration is splendid as well. The author couldn't have done better. Every character and every line is delivered with the perfect form and perfection.
I especially loved the way he read Don Corleone's dialogues.
