Alexander moved over to his favourite chair in the
corner of the large chamber. 'Sit, my children, sit with me,' he
gently ordered them...'We are a family,' he told his children. 'And
the loyalty of the family must come before everything and everyone
else. We must learn from each other, protect each other, and be
bound first and foremost to each other. For if we honour that
commitment, we will never be vanquished - but if we falter in that
loyalty, we will all be condemned...'What is a family? Mario Puzo
first answered that question, unforgettably, in his landmark
bestseller The Godfather; with the creation of the Corleones he
forever redefined the concept of blood loyalty. Now, thirty years
later, Puzo enriches us all with his ultimate vision of the
subject, in a masterpiece that crowns his remarkable career: the
story of the greatest crime family in Italian history - the
Borgias.In THE FAMILY, this singular novelist transports his
readers back to fifteenth-century Rome and reveals the extravagance
and intrigue of the Vatican as surely as he once revealed the
secrets of the Mafia. Their intermingled stories constitute a
symphony of human emotion and behaviour, from pride to romance to
jealousy to betrayal and murderous rage. And their time, place, and
characters are recaptured in all their earthy, human grandeur, with
the unerring insight and compassion that were Mario Puzo's great
gifts.
