DescriptionWalter Mosca, hardened by the brutality and desecration of three long years of war, returns to the USA a changed man. But he has no sooner arrived than he knows that he must run back to the land of the enemy, to find the woman who accepts the rage and cruelty of the world around her. Back in Germany, where the bitter aftermath of war is everywhere apparent, American cigarettes will buy almost anything. Against this background the love affair between Mosca and his girlfriend Hella moves to a savage climax as vivid and violent as any scene in The Godfather.

Aber sie kann den Konflikt zwischen den italienischen und amerikanischen Werten nicht verhindern oder die Gewalttätigkeit und das Blutvergießen, die sicher folgen müssen. Der glückliche Pilgerer ist der reale Geburtsort des Paten. Wie Puzo sagt, das book' s-Held, Lucia Sankt, basiert auf seiner eigenen Mutter: " Wann immer der Pate seinen Mund öffnete, in meinem eigenen Verstand hörte ich die Stimme meiner Mutter. Ich hörte ihre Klugheit, ihre Skrupellosigkeit und ihre unconquerable Liebe für ihre Familie und für Leben selbst. ... das Don' s-Mut und Loyalität kamen von ihr; seine Menschlichkeit kam von ihr... und so, weiß ich jetzt, ohne Lucia Sankt, ich könnte das Godfather." nicht geschrieben haben; Bis seinen sterbenden Tag hielt Mario Puzo den glücklichen Pilgerer für sein feinstes, poetischste und literarischste Arbeit. In einem seiner letzten Interviews erklärte er, dass er durch die Tatsache betrübt wurde, dass der Pate, eine Erfindung er nie lebte, in den Schatten gestellt dem Roman seines mother' s-ehrlicher einwandernder Kampf für Ansehen in Amerika und in ihrer Mut- und kindlichenliebe, wie glücklichen in Pilgrim geschildert, 1965. Der glückliche Pilgerer, obwohl es viel literarisches Lob von hergestellten amerikanischen Romanautoren gewann, erwarb Puzo ein Leben nie.

FROM BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF THE GODFATHER - "A classic... The novel is lifted into literature by its highly charged language, its penetrating insights, and its mixture of tenderness and rage." - New York Times Book Review Described by the author as his "best and most literary book." Puzo's classic story about the loves, crimes and struggles confronted by one family of New York City immigrants living in Hell's Kitchen. Fresh from the farms in Italy, Lucia Santa struggles to hold her family together in a strange land. At turns poignant, comic and violent, The Fortunate Pilgrim is Italian-American fiction at its very best. The book's hero, Lucia Santa, is an incredibly captivating character and based on Puzo's very own mother - he describes, "her wisdom, her ruthlessness, and her unconquerable love for her family and for life itself, qualities not valued in women at the time."

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.
