"Gomorrah: Italy's Other Mafia" is Roberto Saviano's investigative essay on the Camorra, published by Macmillan in paperback (301 pages, in English).
Saviano describes how the Camorra, the Neapolitan mafia known as "the System", operates and its penetration into the legal and illegal economy: construction, fashion, drugs and toxic waste. Drawing on his own experience in Naples and his infiltration of that world, he shows how the organization dominates the life of the city and its region.
The English edition, translated by Virginia Jewiss, corresponds to the book published in Italy in 2006; it won the Viareggio Prize that year.
For readers of true crime, organized crime and investigative journalism, as well as for those who want to learn about the reality of the Camorra in Naples.
Roberto Saviano is an Italian writer, journalist, and screenwriter. In his writings, including articles and his book Gomorrah, he uses literature and investigative reporting to tell of the economic reality of the territory and business of organized crime in Italy, in particular the Camorra crime syndicate, and of organized crime more generally.
