_____________________________________ From the legendary author of
THE GODFATHER comes a novel of the original Italian crime family
Fifteenth-century Italy. The Renaissance is in full swing,
heralding a new golden age for Europe. But where there is gold -
and power - there are those who are willing to do anything to get
their hands on them. Enter the Borgias. Headed by Rodrigo Borgia,
better known as Pope Alexander VI, this tight-knit family is
fighting to keep its iron grip on Italy - but theirs is a lethal
game, and the cost of failure is surely death. Scheming and
plotting for their own ends are his children: Giovanni, the
much-favoured golden boy; his younger brother Cesare, jealous and
vicious; and Lucrezia, cunning, calculating and passionate. The
Borgias face immense opposition from all quarters of Italy, but
their deadliest foes may be far closer to home.
_____________________________________ A tale of brutality and
betrayal that crowns Mario Puzo's remarkable career
_____________________________________ 'We are a family,' Alexander
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...'
