Two Brothers - 9798314173305

Two Brothers explores the differences that may occur between siblings. Stark differences caused by genetics or environment sometimes play a role, but it also examines the matters of Fate and Destiny. Fate is described as a predetermined course of events that are inevitable and usually adverse, while Destiny implies choices that result in positivity. In the mid-1890s, Salvatore Arcuri fled Sicily after an impulsive decision led to the destruction of his family's organization and the deaths of those they held dear. Escaping death, he hid in a tiny hamlet in Campania, where he met and married a young woman named Concetta. But Salvatore knew that the small, isolated town could not contain his criminal ambitions. As heir to his father's criminal throne, he was determined to make his way to America through Ellis Island. Following another's advice, he relocated to South Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, where, sensing opportunities, he established a new version of his father's criminal enterprises. He mastered the vices of men, cynically taking advantage of human frailties, and purchased political and legal protection through corruption. Meanwhile, also forced to flee, younger brother Nico faced a much different journey. His early years in America were difficult-working as a custodian, sweeping floors-while Salvatore thrived in his growing criminal empire. But every night, Nico studied, determined to build a better life. He took advantage of opportunities in his adopted home and eventually became a lawyer. Salvatore's world remained one of shadows, an unbreakable tie to their past that neither could fully sever. He used corruption to manipulate events to his criminal advantage. In contrast, Nico Arcuri's legacy was built not just on his success but on his integrity. He never bent to corruption, never forgot the struggles of his youth, and never stopped fighting for those without a voice. His name became synonymous with justice. Two Brothers ultimately tells how one brother's decisions shaped the other's destiny.
