Book Description内容简介
When Mario Puzo's blockbuster saga, The Godfather, was first published in 1969, critics hailed it as one of the greatest novels of our time, and "big, turbulent, highly entertaining." Since then, The Godfather has gone on to become a part of America's national culture, as well as a trilogy of landmark motion pictures. Now, in this newly-repackaged 30th Anniversary Edition, readers old and new can experience this timeless tale of crime for themselves. From the lavish opening scene where Don Corleone entertains guests and conducts business at his daughter's wedding...to his son, Michael, who takes his father's place to fight for his family...to the bloody climax where all family business is finished, The Godfather is an epic story of family, loyalty, and how "men of honor" live in their own world, and die by their own laws.
 Reissued to coincide with the September Random House release ofThe Last Don, here is the sweeping saga of a      family    and of itsleader, a friendly and reasonable man who just happens to be thedeadliest gang leader in the    Cosa   Nostra.

 马里奥·普佐的长篇小说《教父》在1969年出版后,评论家将这部作品誉为本世纪最佳小说之一。当时出版的新闻周刊(Newsweek)更是  将这部小说评价为“Big,Turbulent, Highly entertaining”(波澜壮阔,跌宕起伏,引人入胜
  )。此后,根据小说改编的电影"教父三部曲"更是成为了美国电影的里程碑,人们说教父是美国文化必不可缺的一部分。这本三十周年纪念    版的《教父》将带您走进二战后美国的纽约,体验一场惊心动魄的罪与罚的旅程。这是一部关于家庭,忠诚的史诗,为荣誉而活的男人们在他  们的世界中按自己的法则生存,最终以自己的方式死亡。

《教父》是美国作家马里奥·普佐的一部著名小说,小说描述了黑手党的产生、发展的全过程:外来移民为生活所逼,铤而走险,靠走私、赌博、贩毒、谋杀而在美国社会中争得一席之地。

 

他们依赖非法营生而逐步发展壮大,其势力也渗透到各个领域,在政府枢纽部门也有了他们的代理人。当他们羽翼丰满时,便不满足于现有的非法地位,力求融入合法社会,毫无恐惧地享受他们的财富。然而,具有讽刺意味的是,他们由非法社会向合法社会的过渡却偏偏是依靠非法的暴力行为得以完成的。根据本书改编的电影为美国电影史上一个十分悠久的经典类型--犯罪片开拓了宽广的前景,它不仅拓展了犯罪片的表现领域,其思想意义和内涵也远远超越了暴力的范畴,并将主题升华为人类社会中最常见的权力交替中的深层意义--权力与罪恶的关系。影片在70年代初曾轰动一时,取得了商业和评论上的双重成功,片中"教父"的扮演者马龙·白兰度带动的"马龙·白兰度热"像旋风一样几乎波及整个世界,而导演科波拉也从此奠定了他在好莱坞中的"教父"地位。

 

马里奥·普佐当年创作的小说《教父》是美国文学创作中的一个转折点,它使黑手党问题引起了举国上下的普遍注意,从20世纪70年代初开始,反映黑手党的作品就如雨后春笋一般繁盛起来,但是我们认为,没有一部能同《教父》相提并论。

The story of Don Vito Corleone, the head of a New York Mafiafamily, inspired some of the most successful movies ever.   It is inMario Puzo's The Godfather that Corleone first appears. AsCorleone's desperate struggle to control the Mafia  underworldunfolds, so does the story of his family. The novel is full ofexquisitely detailed characters who, despite leading  unconventionallifestyles within a notorious crime family, experience the triumphsand failures of the human condition. Filled  with the requisitevalor, love, and rancor of a great epic, The Godfather is thedefinitive gangster novel.
From Library Journal
Diehard Godfather fans play second banana to no other subculturein their obsession with the minutiae of Puzo's novel  and Coppola'sfilms. These dedicated fans will be most disappointed by the newaudio version, although perhaps only an  hour of material ismissing, but casual aficionados will barely notice the abridgment.Missing are the subplot involving  Sonny's mistress, Lucy Mancini,and Dr. William Kennedy and the descriptions of the regional Mafiachieftains that precede  the commission meeting at which DonCorleone flushes out Don Barzini as his number one rival. Actor JoeMantegna does a  fine job throughout, largely resisting thetemptation to put on voices for too many of the characters.However, this cannot  be said for his Don Corleone. Perhaps it isvengeance: after all, Andy Garcia, as the late Don's nephew,Vincent Mancini,  put the hit on Mantegna's Joey Zasa in GodfatherIII, but whatever the reason, Mantegna gives Corleone a raspyfalsetto-  imagine the Pillsbury Doughboy with a tracheotomy-thatranks as one of the worst Brando impressions ever. Also,  Puzo'schilling ending in which Kay converts to Catholicism with the hopeof saving her husband's soul is inexplicably  transformed into achamber-of-commerce-style bromide about the family's new life inNevada. Still, the popularity of Puzo's  novel 27 years after itspublication makes this abridgment a must-have.
