«El Padrino» is Mario Puzo's mafia novel, published by Ediciones B in hardback (480 pages, in Spanish).
The novel portrays the life of Vito Corleone, the respected don of the New York mafia, and that of his son and heir, in a story of power, honour and family loyalty. With this work, the mafia was shown from the inside for the first time, and from it came the famous film trilogy by Francis Ford Coppola with screenplays by Puzo himself.
First instalment of the El Padrino saga, translated into Spanish by Ángel Arnau from the original The Godfather, published in 1969.
For readers of crime fiction and family sagas looking for a classic about the mafia.
Mario Francis Puzo was an American author and screenwriter.

He received the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for the first film in 1972 and for Part II in 1974. Puzo also wrote the original screenplay for the 1978 Superman film and its 1980 sequel. His final novel, The Family, was released posthumously in 2001.
