Description Supposing Books Gomorrah

A groundbreaking major bestseller in Italy, Gomorrah is Roberto Saviano's gripping nonfiction account of the decline of Naples under the rule of the Camorra, an organized crime network with a large international reach and stakes in construction, high fashion, illicit drugs, and toxic-waste disposal. Known by insiders as "the System," the Camorra affects cities and villages along the Neapolitan coast, and is the deciding factor in why Campania, for instance, has the highest murder rate in all of Europe and whycancer levels there have skyrocketed in recent years.

Saviano tells of huge cargoes of Chinese goods that are shipped to Naples and then quickly distributed unchecked across Europe. He investigates the Camorra's control of thousands of Chinese factories contracted to manufacture fashion goods, legally and illegally, for distribution around the world, and relates the chilling details of how the abusive handling of toxic waste is causing devastating pollution not only for Naples but also China and Somalia. In pursuit of his subject, Saviano worked as an assistant at a Chinese textile manufacturer, a waiter at a Camorra wedding, and on a construction site. A native of the region, he recalls seeing his first murder at the age of fourteen, and how his own father, a doctor, suffered a brutal beating for trying to aid an eighteen-year-old victim who had been left for dead in the street.

Gomorrah is a bold and important work of investigative writing that holds global significance, one heroic young man's impassioned story of a place under the rule of a murderous organization.

Write Up Out Of Books Gomorrah

Very interesting and eye-opening book on something I had no knowledge of. I found the sections on the fashion industry and waste disposal to be very intriguing. Another good section was the "I know and I can prove it" excerpt, which felt weighty and foreboding. The book was sometimes hard to follow along with names of people and places, though.I read an article featuring the author from the Guardian published in 2015. He described all the ways in which writing this book has changed his life, and

I saw the movie first. Now that I've read the book, I'm amazed at how faithful the movie is to the book. The film is an almost chapter-by-chapter recreation of the original. One of the most faithful adaptations I've ever seen.But, something's always lost in translation. What gets lost in the movie is the book's poetry, and also its anger.Saviano is a brave man for writing this. I'm surprised he's not dead yet. Gomorra film author to leave Italy after mob death threats The author of the book

I watched the movie long before reading this, and probably preferred it to the book. Gomorrah has no doubt enraged the gangsters, and following a series of highly credible death threats, since autumn 2006 Saviano has been given an armed escort at public expense. Public expense? I'm sure there quite a few Italian citizens who don't agree with this. Right from the off Roberto Saviano's Gomorrah is enough to communicate the raw force of his writing and a sense of why the book has been an

Anyone expecting a kind of cool, macho life of gangsters, with charismatic real-life characters and bloodily amusing anecdotes is in for a shock. This is a raw, vicious and angry book, a true expose of how the Camorra dominates life around Southern Italy and how from there it extends its tentacles worldwide.Although it gives an overview of the various gangs and the characters involved, the book goes much further and breaks down the sociological and economic causes of and reactions to all that

I was hoping for a more expository work of non-fiction on this topic but instead it was a rambling, although at times very interesting, book about the Neapolitan mafia. There were plenty of memorable anecdotes but there were an equal number of sections where all these details are thrown at you at once and it's hard not to feel lost. If the book focused on one or two mob families these details would have added up to something more tangible but no sooner do you start to have an idea what a given

When Gomorrah was firt published, it was risky investigative journalism at its finest; Saviano revealed to Italians and to the wider world the nature and extent of the Comorra's domination of Naples, Campania and beyond.Even the best journalism loses its immediacy over time, but after 10 years and from half a world away, Gomorrah is still a riveting read. Saviano recounts a catalogue of vicious crimes and ongoing feuds that turned Campania into a bloodbath, pretty much the murder capital of the

Since he has pulished his book, Saviano is a hunted man. Does he glorify organised crime after all? Or where did my fascination come from when I read him? The book portrays the Camorra as the incarnation of capitalism in its purest form, whoever stands in the way of business will be eliminated with the appropriate means. Appropriate? How much are moral standards essential for good business? The question is neglected and yet imminent on each page. Who is good? Who is evil. Names over names are
