A million-word gangster epic | Redemption of blood and tears of four generations | A road that has never been traveled before
Giuseppe Rizzi, the head of the Sicilian Mafia family, faced a desperate situation at the age of fifty-three - his traditional business collapsed and his books were in the red. Under his son's persuasion, the "godfather" with blood on his hands walked into the live broadcast room and started cutting tomatoes, telling stories, and selling olive oil.
Overnight, he became popular.
But cleaning up is not about changing clothes, it is about peeling off the skin. The betrayal of old brother Carlo, the assassination of the 'Ndrangheta, the scar on Luca's face, the explosion of the cooperative, the threat of the German gang, the entanglement of the Marseille gang in France, the secrets of the Chinese underground bank... Every step forward must leave a bloody piece of meat.
From the olive tree where my grandfather starved to death in 1908 to the carnival of four million fans in the live broadcast room in 2028; from the nightmare of the first murder to the reconciliation with the enemy's son Roberto; from the daughter's resentment to the son's succession - this is a family epic that spans a hundred years, and it is also the story of how a person walked out of the "fourth way" in blood and fire.
"My grandfather took one path, my dad took another, and I took the fourth. I don't know if it's right, but I got to where I am today."
