Don Vito Corleone is the head of a New York Mafia family, presiding over a vast underground empire that includes rackets, gambling, bookmaking and unions from his fortress of a home in Long Island.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHis influence runs through all levels of American society, from the cop on the beat to the nation’s leading politicians. But he is constantly at war with the four other families of the New York Mafia in their endless fight for power. As Corleone’s desperate struggle to control the Mafia underworld unfolds, so does the story of his family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy the time Mario Puzo’s fictional account of the Corleone family arrived on bookshelves in 1969, organized crime had been prevalent in the news for nearly two decades, instilling fear and fascination into the hearts of the American public. When The Godfather first appeared on The New York Times bestseller list, the newspaper reported that the novel was “bound to be hugely successful, and not simply because the Mafia is in the news. Mr. Puzo’s novel is a voyeur’s dream, a skillful fantasy of violent personal power without consequence.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt remained on The New York Times bestseller list for 67 weeks, and sold over nine million copies in two years. In 1972, The Godfather was turned into the incomparable film of the same name, directed by Francis Ford Coppola, which won the Academy Award for Best Picture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA tale of family and society, law and order, obedience and rebellion, The Godfather reveals the dark passions of human nature played out against a backdrop of the American dream. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eARTIST EDITION\u003cbr\u003e6” x 9” trim size.\u003cbr\u003e600 Pages.\u003cbr\u003eLimited to 750 copies.\u003cbr\u003eSigned by Art Werger.\u003cbr\u003eFull cloth symth-sewn binding.\u003cbr\u003eFoil blocked cover.\u003cbr\u003eIntroduction by Francis Ford Coppola from the 50th Anniversary edition.\u003cbr\u003eA note by Anthony Puzo.\u003cbr\u003eFourteen copper plate intaglio illustrations by Art Werger printed offset.\u003cbr\u003eDust jacket illustrated by Art Werger (the only edition featuring this illustrated dust jacket). \u003cbr\u003eSet in Requiem type.\u003cbr\u003ePrinted offset on archival Cougar paper.\u003cbr\u003eHoused in a durable embossed paper covered slipcase.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Suntup Editions","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53693286973713,"sku":"INV-00292","price":390.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/6140\/6993\/files\/godfather1_70fb2363-0f5e-47e4-bc1e-e6cd45bf86db.png?v=1779157612","url":"https:\/\/finepressfinds.com.au\/products\/the-godfather-artist-edition-mario-puzo-suntup-editions-2023-1st-edition-copy","provider":"Fine Press Finds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
