El exilio de Michael Corleone en Palermo esta a punto de acabar, y su padre, Don Vito, le ha encomendado una mision: debe volver a America 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 montanas. Desde alli lucha por su patria y su gente, oprimida por la Cosa Nostra y la corrupcion del Go-bierno de Roma.

Ahora, en esta neblinosa tierra de montanas y ruinas antiguas, el destino de Michael Corleone se vera 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.
