He knows that everyone has a destiny. His began in Sicily with his decision to emigrate to New York where he has become the master of his own fate as well as the fate of many others. As a brilliant business leader he has built an illegal empire through bribes and the aid of men who have needed help at one time or another or asked him to be the godfather of their children. These connections have allowed him to tap into a network that he can use whenever someone dares to threaten him, his success or his family. Don Corleone's power reaches from the highest government official Washington to the smallest crook of the New York underworld. With the other Sicilian families who have come to New York, he has been able to negotiate shares of the criminal marketplace so that there is no self-destructive infighting. That is until one of the families invites him to go into the drug business with them. He says no and so begins the struggle of the Corleone against the other Sicilian Mafiosi, a bloody massacre, the Family War. The story of Don Corleone, the powerful godfather, the mafia boss who only recognizes his own law is also the story of those who live under his rule because they are tied to his family forever by blood or friendship. There are his sons: the unruly Sonny who pays for the game of power with his life and the cool calculating Michael a murderer who keenly feels any wound to the family pride. There are others: those who are willing to commit any crime in order to earn the Godfather's sponsorship and retain his favor. And then there are the women: their fateful testiny has been to love one of the Corleone. Mario Puzo (1920-1999), born in New York of Italian descent, was a journalist and freelance writer. He published short stories and two novels before he achieved breakthrough global success with 'The Godfather'. Don Vito Corleone ist ein Gigant. Ein ehrenwerter Mann, gerecht, gefürchtet, ein Mann der Vernunft. Er weiss: es gibt für jeden nur ein Schicksal. Das seine begann auf Sizilien und entschied sich in New York, wo er Herr über sein eigenes Schicksal und das Schicksal vieler anderer wurde. Wie ein Genialer Wirtschaftsführer hat er sein Imperium aufgebaut. Mit illegalen Geschäften. Mit Schmiergeldern. Mit Hilfe von Männern, die seine Hilfe brauchten oder ihn baten, der Pate ihrer Kinder zu werden. So schuf er sich einen Ring aus Freunden und Untertanen. Er sendet sie aus, wann immer es jemand wagt, sein Gebot zu verletzen. Don Corleones Macht reicht von den höchsten Regierungsbeamten Washingtons bis zu den kleinsten Ganoven der New Yorker Unterwelt. Er trachtet danach, mit den anderen sizilianischen Familien, die es in New York zu etwas gebracht haben, den Markt vernünftig zu teilen und Blutvergiessen zu vermeiden. Bis man ihn auffordert, in das Rauschgiftgeschäft einzusteigen. Er sagt nein. Und damit beginnt der Kampf der Corleone gegen die anderen sizilianischen Mafiosi, ein blutiges Gemetzel, der >>Krieg der Familien<<. Dies ist die Geschichte des Mafiachefs Don Corleone, des allmächtigen Paten, der nur sein eigenes Gesetz anerkennt; und es ist die Geschichte derer, die unter diesem Gesetz stehen, weil sie durch die Bande des Blutes oder der Freundschaft für immer dem Clan angehören: die Söhne Don Corleones, die die blutige Patenschaft des Vaters übernehmen sollen: der ungebärdige Sonny, der das Spiel um die Macht mit dem Leben bezahlt; der kühle Rechner Michael, den gekränkter Familienstolz zum Mörder, und all die anderen, die für den >>Paten<< jedes Verbrechen begehen, um dafür seiner ewigen Gewogenheit sicher zu sein. Und da sind die Frauen, denen es zum verhángnisvollen Schicksal wird, einen von den Corleones zu lieben. Mario Puzo, geboren 1920 in New York, italienischer Abstammung, wurde Journalist, und freier Schriftsteller. Er schrieb bisher Kurzgeschichten und zwei Romane. Mit dem >>Paten<< gelang ihm der Durchbruch zum Welterfolg. 5.4"x8.3", 573 seiten (pages). Zufriedenheit garantiert (satisfaction guaranteed). FL0039
