El Padrino, El regreso

mark winegardner mario puzo ramón de españa

Hace treinta y cinco años que se publicó "El Padrino" de Mario Puzo, y con ello nuestra visión de crimen organizado cambió para siempre. Ahora, en "El El regreso" el aclamado novelista Mark Winegardner explica el resto de la historia, la que no apareció en el bestseller de Puzo ni en las clásicas películas de Francis Ford Coppola. El autor retoma la historia de los Corleone manteniéndose fiel al estilo, los personajes y las tramas que hicieron famosa la serie de Puzo. Ahonda en las laberínticas relaciones entre los miembros de la familia, plantea nuevas intrigas, enlaza sucesos ficticios con reales y cuenta con algunos golpes de efecto realmente brillantes. Una de las secuelas literarias más esperadas. El capítulo que faltaba en la mayor saga del crimen de la historia. "Esta obra apasionará a los fans de "El Padrino." El mismo Puzo debe de estar alzando una celestial copa y gritando "Salud." (Publishers Weekly)

About the author

mark winegardner

Mark Winegardner (born November 24, 1961) is an American writer born and raised in Bryan, Ohio. His novels include The Godfather Returns, Crooked River Burning, and The Veracruz Blues. He published a collection of short stories, That's True of Everybody, in 2002. His newest novel, The Godfather's Revenge, was published in November 2006 by Putnam. His Godfather novels continue the story of the Corleone family depicted in Mario Puzo's The Godfather.

According to a press release from Putnam: In a major acquisition, G. P. Putnam's Sons Executive Editor Dan Conaway secured North American rights to The Godfather's Revenge, the capstone to the Corleone family saga, which began with Mario Puzo's landmark novel and was carried forward in Winegardner's 2004 New York Times bestseller, The Godfather Returns. The Godfather's Revenge was written by Winegardner, based on Puzo's original characters.

"It's staggering to contemplate the legacy of the Godfather films and novels," says Dan Conaway. "They have had a deeper, broader and more lasting impact on the fabric of contemporary culture than has any other such franchise in the past 50 years.

It's fitting, then, that The Godfather's Revenge overlays the resonant mythology of the Corleone family onto the most vexing real-life mystery of our age, with a storyline that explores the role organized crime may have had in the assassination of a charismatic young President." [1]
