The novel is a sequel to the Godfather Trilogy. It depicts the chronicle of the notorious Corleone Family as a metaphor for capitalism in America. In other words, the novel aims to shed light on the ascent of a new underworld figure, who is the product of the tumultuous events that took place and drastically changed the world we live in throughout the past three decades in terms of the collapse of the Soviet Union, the Gulf War, the September 11 attacks, and the invasion of Iraq. The Godfather IV portrays the rise of Robert Corleone (the protagonist) to power, as well as the remarkable transformations in his volatile life; from a decent, warmhearted young man, a brilliantly preeminent student, to a brutish streetfighter, and a coldblooded murderer, who eventually becomes the head of the most powerful mafia family in the whole world.

Read these stories with a bit of seriousness, forget age, keep no prejudice and bias and laugh heartily. Yes, it goes without saying, don't try to make any sense out of it at all. Of course no one will not be found. If you try to find it on the contrary, you cannot avoid the possibility of spoiling your relationship with me. Please do not read these stories late at night. Read alone. Once a serious minded friend of mine read these stories at night and he forgot his consciousness and started to laugh heartily while holding his own belly. With that, his wife woke up and was shocked to see his condition. But this did not listen and did not stop laughing. Finally the doctor had to be called. So be careful.
