Mario Puzo
Lifelong New Yorker Mario Puzo drew upon figures in his Italian-American family to create the characters in his smash hit The Godfather in 1969; but he claimed never to have met a real-life mobster, and his detailed portrait of the Mafia world came entirely from diligent research.
Biography
Mario Puzo was born in New York and, following military service in World War II, attended New York's New School for Social Research and Columbia University. His bestselling novel The Godfather, (1969) was preceded by two critically acclaimed novels, The Dark Arena (1955) and The Fortunate Pilgrim (1965). In 1978, he published Fools Die, followed by The Sicilian (1984), The Fourth K (1990), and the second installment in his Mafia trilogy, The Last Don (1996), which became an international bestseller and the highest-rated TV miniseries of 1997.

What is a family? Mario Puzo first answered that question, unforgettably, in his landmark bestseller The Godfather; with the creation of the Corleones he forever redefined the concept of blood loyalty. Now, thirty years later, Puzo enriches us all with his ultimate vision of the subject, in a masterpiece that crowns his remarkable career: the story of the greatest crime family in Italian history -- the Borgias.
In The Family, this singular novelist transports his readers back to fifteenth-century Rome and reveals the extravagance and intrigue of the Vatican as surely as he once revealed the secrets of the Mafia. At the story's center is Rodrigo Borgia, Pope Alexander VI, a man whose lustful appetites for power, luxury, and women were matched only by his consuming love of family. Surrounding him are his extraordinary children: the simple, unloved Jofre; the irascible, heartless Juan; the beautiful, strong-willed Lucrezia; and the passionate warrior Cesare, Machiavelli's friend and inspiration. Their intermingled stories constitute a symphony of human emotion and behavior, from pride to romance to jealousy to betrayal and murderous rage. And their time, place, and characters are recaptured in all their earthy, human grandeur, with the unerring insight and compassion that were Mario Puzo's great gifts.
A labor of love two decades in the making, The Family marks the final triumph of one of the greatest storytellers of our time.

好莱坞传奇影人奥逊•威尔斯在电影《第三人》中有句经典台词:“波吉亚家族统治的30年间,意大利人饱经战乱、恐惧、谋杀和血腥,但米开朗基罗、达•芬奇和伟大的文艺复兴也因此诞生。瑞士人手足情深,拥有500年民主与和平,但他们为世界贡献了什么?布谷鸟钟!” ...
評分 評分在书架上,从其装潢及厚度来看,应该是一本名著,就借了来看。断断续续看了一个月,我耐着性子终于看完了。没完没了的残杀、战争,偶尔的温情全被硝烟弥漫着。看待这个世界,看待一个人,主观是很重要的吧?不然,如此坏的教皇竟被作者描写成“富有魅力、温情”的男人。我几乎...
