Aux yeux de ses voisins, Don Corleone est un patriar- che, un respectable pere de famille. Mais sa vraie famille est plus vaste ; c'est une des "familles" de la Mafia dont il est un des chefs Ies plus aimés, mais aussi Ies plus respectés, car il est raisonnable et juste. C'est Ie Parrain, interprété magistralement au cinéma par Marlon Brando. C'est å lui que s'adressent pour punir, mais aussi pour demander aide et assistance :
JOHNNY FONTANE, Ie chanteur en train de perdre tout la fois sa femme et sa voix.
SONNY CORLEONE, le fils ainé de Don Corleone, dont la réputation de Casanova n'a d'égale que celle de tueur habile.
LUCY MANCINI, qui doit tant sacrifier pour devenir la maitresse de Sonny.
MICHAEL CORLEONE, le fils cadet, qui croit pouvoir avoir sa vie Iui jusqu'au jour oü il découvre que Ies liens avec la Famille sont plus étroits qu'il ne Ie croyait.
KAY ADAMS, que tout sépare de Michael, tout sauf l'amour qu'elle a pour Iui.
TOM HAGAN, I'avocat et le confident du Parrain, le seul Irlandais parmi ce clan de Siciliens.
LUCA BRASI, I'homme de main impitoyable qui tue comme on prend un verre.
LE PARRAIN, c'est I'évocation de tout un monde sou- terain qui sape les fondations de I'Amérique, d'une pégre redoutable que Ia société voudrait ignorer, mais que de retentissants scandales ne cessent de révéler au grand jour. De New York Las Vegas, des somp- tueuses villas de Hollywood au maquis de Sicile, c'est toute l'Amérique, avec ses syndicats du crime, sa guerre des gangs, ses puissances occultes qui tirent les ficelles. Le crime sous Ies apparences de la respectabilité. Derriére un titre innocent, cinq cents pages bourrées de dynamite.

First Sentence
"Amerigo Bonasera sat in New York Criminal Court Number 3 and waited for justice; vengeance on the men who had so cruelly hurt his daughter, who had tried to dishonor her."
Work Description
The Godfather is a crime novel by American author Mario Puzo. Originally published in 1969 by G. P. Putnam's Sons, the novel details the story of a fictional Mafia family in New York City (and Long Beach, New York), headed by Vito Corleone. Puzo's dedication for The Godfather is "For Anthony Cleri". The novel's epigraph is by the French author Honoré de Balzac: "Behind every great fortune there is a crime." The novel covers the years 1945 to 1955 and includes the back story of Vito Corleone from early childhood to adulthood.
