«La banda de los niños» is Roberto Saviano's novel about the Camorra in Naples, published by Editorial Anagrama in paperback (392 pages, in Spanish).
Naples appears as a city dominated by the Camorra where a gang of ten teenagers, led by Nicolas Fiorillo, alias Marajá, tries to take over the drug trafficking and extortion business. Coming from ordinary families, they use motorcycles to move around the city and spread fear with extreme violence: a «like» on Facebook can become a death sentence and new weapons are tested against migrants. Saviano turns fiction into a chronicle of the rot of a city that extends to other peripheries of the world.
The book belongs to Anagrama's Compactos collection, where it occupies number 729, and returns to the territory of «Gomorra», Saviano's earlier work.
Recommended for readers of crime fiction and social chronicle who want to approach the reality of the Neapolitan Camorra through fiction.
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.
