Schauplatz BREMEN in den 5oer Jahren, GIs und German Fräuleins... 1953 first published "The Dark Arena", Puzo himself was stationed in Bremen after the war. My first Puzo, which I had on hand, and would help me decide to buy the Godfather or not. Yup, I'll be picking up the Godfather the next time I get a chance. The Dark Arena was good, not great, but it was definitely an enjoyable read exposing a time and setting I was not very familiar with. The characters, although not very likable (which I've seen other reviewers complain about), we very well done, each fitting in their own niche. Overall it wasn't a very pleasant book, not what one would call a beach read, but it was definitely worth reading as Puzo spins a good tale. VivĂan en un mundo de hombres despiadados y sus mujeres. Un mundo de poder desnudo e influencia secreta. Un mundo fuera de la ley, más allá de la ley, por encima de la ley. VivĂan en The Dark Arena. Mosca, joven, dura, ambiciosa. Le gustaban los juegos y tratos y no tenĂa miedo de matar. Pero habĂa una cosa con la que no contaba: el amor. Hella, amaba a Mosca más que a la vida misma, lo cual era muy peligroso, para ambos. Eddie, un verdadero operador. Solo se preocupaba por sĂ mismo y por los tratos que podĂa hacer. Y cuando estaba borracho, era vicioso. Leo, un alma dividida. Estaba entre mundos y atrapado en las intrigas mortales de Eddie y Mosca. I found this to be rather dull and boring, it portrayed a pretty decent atmosphere of post war Germany however none of the characters were particularly likeable and the story didn't really move me in anyway what so ever. The ending was also quite bland for everything you had to sit through to get there. I'm surprised it's written by the same person as Godfather, his writing certainly matured with time. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML:Mario Puzo won international acclaim for The Godfather and his other Mafia novels. But before creating those masterpieces, Puzo wrote his first acclaimed novel The Dark Arena–an astounding story of a war-scarred young American in a battle against corruption and betrayal. . . . After coming home at the end of World War II, Walter Mosca finds himself too restless for his civilian role in America. So he returns to Germany to find the woman he had once loved–and to start some kind of life in a vanquished country. But ahead of Walter stretches a dark landscape of defeat and intrigue, as he succumbs to the corrupting influences of a malevolent time. Now he enters a different kind of war, one in which he must make a fateful decision–between love and ambition, passion and greed, life and death. . . . Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
