THE MISSING YEARS FROM THE GREATEST CRIME SAGA OF ALL TIMEThirty-five years ago, Mario Puzo’s great American tale, The Godfather, was published, and popular culture was indelibly changed. Now, in The Godfather Returns, acclaimed novelist Mark Winegardner continues the story–the years not covered in Puzo’s bestselling book or in Francis Ford Coppola’s classic films. It is 1955. Michael Corleone has won a bloody victory in the war among New York’s crime families. Now he wants to consolidate his power, save his marriage, and take his family into legitimate businesses. To do so, he must confront his most dangerous adversary yet, Nick Geraci, a former boxer who worked his way through law school as a Corleone street enforcer, and who is every bit as deadly and cunning as Michael. Their personal cold war will run from 1955 to 1962, exerting immense influence on the lives of America’s most powerful criminals and their loved ones, including Tom Hagen, the Corleone Family’s lawyer and consigliere, who embarks on a political career in Nevada while trying to protect his brother;Francesca Corleone, daughter of Michael’s late brother Sonny, who is suddenly learning her family’s true history and faces a difficult choice;Don Louie Russo, head of the Chicago mob, who plays dumb but has wily ambitions for muscling in on the Corleones’ territory;Peter Clemenza, the stalwart Corleone underboss, who knows more Family secrets than almost anyone;Ambassador M. Corbett Shea, a former Prohibition-era bootlegger and business ally of the Corleones’, who wants to get his son elected to the presidency–and needs some help from his old friends;Johnny Fontane, the world’s greatest saloon singer, who ascends to new heights as a recording artist, cozying up to Washington’s power elite and maintaining a precarious relationship with notorious underworld figures;Kay Adams Corleone, who finally discovers the truth about her husband, Michael–and must decide what it means for their marriage and their children andFredo Corleone, whose death has never been fully explained until now, and whose betrayal of the Family was part of a larger and more sinister chain of events.Sweeping from New York and Washington to Las Vegas and Cuba, The Godfather Returns is the spellbinding story of America’s criminal underworld at mid-century and its intersection with the political, legal, and entertainment empires. Mark Winegardner brings an original voice and vision to Mario Puzo’s mythic characters while creating several equally unforgettable characters of his own. The Godfather Returns stands on its own as a triumph–in a tale about what we love, yearn for, and sometimes have reason to fear . . . family.From the Hardcover edition.
完全没有原著的韵味,有些细节过于琐碎。不是黑帮史诗,普通警匪小说而已。人物徒有其名,活动对话缺乏依据,完全没有原著的深度。 这本小说里的人物的最高水平连原著中那个制片厂老板都不如,更不要谈神一般教父了。
评分为什么没把这本书看完,大概是因为这本书的结构太庞大了。 这本书分很多个线索,基本上每个重要任务都是一个线索,而每条线索又互相联系。由于线索太多,人员结构较复杂,有些美国的习惯我们又不是太习惯,不太能体会作者的真切意图,所以看这本书要一定的耐心和要在脑中...
评分比起电影的经典,书显得是如此的苍白无力,平庸无奇。由于是电影首先上映,之后由于电影的火爆,才又根据电影,扩充成同名书籍。所以,整体感不强,有些细节太过于繁琐,没有了第一本《教父》的那种一气呵成的感觉,更没有《教父》中那种鲜活的人物描写和关系反映。 尽管如此,...
评分翻译的也太烂了 什么玩意呀 呀呀个呸的 本来2就是续貂之作,在经过这九流的翻译,信达雅就别说了,咱能把舌头捋顺了么!神马玩意啊翻译的!! 毫无诚意,根本就没有一点点想翻译好的努力都!!后几张开始从句还扔在后面,生硬,晦涩。哎...无语了!!
评分石平萍同志,我谢谢你翻译的如此之烂,你这种只为利益而做翻译的,是永远不能体会文化和艺术的美妙的。看看的翻译的都有些啥? 《第三帝国-权力的中心-时代生活丛书》 <半轮黄日> <母女关系与性别种族的政治 : 美国华裔妇女文学研究> <静思录 : 如何在困境中找到力量> <盲...
