«Parole d'onore» is Attilio Bolzoni's essay on the Italian mafia, published by BUR in paperback (410 pages, in Italian).
Bolzoni draws on words, threats and promises heard during his years as a reporter to enter the language of Cosa Nostra. Omertà, money, dignity, family, religiosity and friendship are some of the terms he examines; each voice reveals rules, pacts, blackmail and betrayals, and composes a map of half a century of mafia through those who lived it.
First edition published in 2008 in the BUR Futuropassato collection; work classified under History, with a focus on criminology and social sciences.
For readers interested in criminology, Italian social history and journalistic reportage.
