Overview

"El siciliano es una biografía novelada de Giuliano y una incisiva descripción de la vida, las tradiciones y las complejas relaciones de poder en Sicilia.Corre el año 1950. El exilio de Michael Corleone en Palermo está a punto de acabar, y su padre, Don Vito, le ha encomendado una misión: debe volver a América con un hombre que se ha convertido en un mito popular, un forajido acosado por el Gobierno, las clases altas y la Mafia. Su nombre es Salvatore Giuliano, un moderno Robin Hood que, tras enfrentarse en su juventud a una patrulla de carabineri, se vio forzado a refugiarse en las montañas. Desde allí lucha por su patria y su gente, oprimida por la Cosa Nostra y la corrupción del Go-bierno de Roma. Ahora, en esta neblinosa tierra de montañas y ruinas antiguas, el destino de Michael Corleone se verá hermanado con la leyenda de Salvatore Giuliano.ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Michael Corleone is returning to the U.S. after the two-year exile to Sicily in which reader left him in The Godfather. But he is ordered to bring with him the young Sicilian bandit, Salvatore Guiliano, who is the unofficial ruler of northwestern Sicily. In his fight ""to make Sicilians free people,"" the young folk hero, based on the real-life Giuliano of the 1940's, has made both the police and the Mafia his enemies. So when Don Croce Malo, chief of the Sicilian Mafia, and the policemen who has been tracking Guiliano each offer to help Corleone find the elusive Robin Hood, betrayal seems inevitable. Mario Puzo has created a sequel to The Godfather that is every bit as compelling and dramatic. But The Sicilian is a distinct literary achievement in its historical inspiration and its vivid portrait of Sicilian peasant life."
