内容简介
After Mario Puzo wrote his internationally
acclaimed The Godfather, he has often been imitated but never
equaled. Puzo's classic novel, The Sicilian, stands as a
cornerstone of his work--a lushly romantic, unforgettable tale of
bloodshed, justice, and treachery. . . .
The year is 1950. Michael Corleone is nearing the end of his
exile in Sicily. The Godfather has commanded Michael to bring a
young Sicilian bandit named Salvatore Guiliano back with him to
America. But Guiliano is a man entwined in a bloody web of violence
and vendettas. In Sicily, Guiliano is a modern day Robin Hood who
has defied corruption--and defied the Cosa Nostra. Now, in the land
of mist-shrouded mountains and ancient ruins, Michael Corleone's
fate is entwined with the dangerous legend of Salvatore Guiliano:
warrior, lover, and the ultimate Siciliano.
