n una versione ampiamente rivista e significativamente arricchita, il libro propone tutti i temi affrontati da Saviano nei suoi monologhi: l'importanza dell'Unità d'Italia, il subdolo meccanismo della diffamazione, l'espansione delle mafie al Nord, la battaglia per la vita condotta da Piergiorgio Welby, l'infinita "emergenza" dei rifiuti a Napoli, la sfida senz'armi di don Giacomo Panizza alla 'ndrangheta calabrese, la tragedia annunciata del terremoto a L'Aquila, il dovere di difendere la Costituzione. Nell'introduzione Saviano racconta retroscena della sua partecipazione al programma e propone una riflessione sul suo eccezionale impatto. Il risultato è un serratissimo ritratto dell'Italia di oggi: accanto alla denuncia delle ferite vecchie e nuove che affliggono il nostro Paese, c'è ilò racconto - commosso e ammirato - di vite vissute con onestà e coraggio, esempi su cui possiamo ancora contare per combattere il male, risollevarci e costruire un'Italia diversa.

Trente portraits de personnalités, de la Gréce antique á nos jours, illustrent les convictions de l'auteur afin de dénoncer les manipulations, la propagande, la censure, les dérives du monde contemporain et inviter a reflechir. Emile Zola, Anna Akhmatova, Edward Snowden, entre autres, incarnent le courage et la dignite dans la perseverance de leurs engagements.

The explosive international bestseller.Published to coincide with the new Sky Atlantic TV series, Roberto Saviano''s groundbreaking and utterly compelling book is a major international bestseller and has to date sold 750,000 copies in Italy alone. Since publishing his searing expose of their criminal activities, the author has received so many death threats from the Camorra that he has been assigned police protection. Known by insiders as ''the System'', the Camorra, an organized crime network with a global reach and large stakes in construction, high fashion, illicit drugs and toxic-waste disposal, exerts a malign grip on cities and villages along the Neapolitan coast is the deciding factor in why Campania has the highest murder rate in all of Europe and why cancer levels there have skyrocketed in recent years.In pursuit of his subject, Saviano worked as an assistant at a Chinese textile manufacturer and on a construction site, both controlled by ''the System'', and as a waiter at a Camorra wedding. Born in Naples, 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 help an eighteen-year-old victim, left for dead in the street.Gomorrah is both a bold and engrossing piece of investigative writing and one heroic young man''s impassioned story of a place under the rule of a murderous organization.

With the open-hearted rashness that belongs to every true writer, Saviano returns to tell the story of the fierce and grieving heart of Naples.' Elena Ferrante In Naples, a new kind of gang rules the streets: the `Paranze', the `Children's Gangs', groups of teenage boys who divide their time between Facebook or playing Call of Duty on their PlayStations and patrolling the streets armed with pistols and AK-47s, terrorizing local residents in order to mark out the territories of their Mafia bosses. Roberto Saviano's eye-opening novel The Piranhas tells the story of the rise of one such gang and its leader, Nicolas - known to his friends and enemies as the `Maharajah'. But Nicolas's ambitions reach far beyond doing other men's bidding: he wants to be the one giving orders, calling the shots, and ruling the city. But the violence he is accustomed to wielding and witnessing soon spirals out of his control . . .

Après les événements tragiques qui clôturent Piranhas, Nicolas, dit Maharaja, a juré de se venger. Il ne reculera devant rien pour conquérir Naples, enterrer les vieux parrains et être couronné roi.

A Naples, Nicolas évolue avec sa bande d'amis violents et fascinés par la criminalité.

Hace diez años, la publicación deGomorra conmocionó al mundo y cambió para siempre la vida de Roberto Saviano. Una década más tarde, Debate relanza el libro incluyendo un nuevo prólogo conmemorativo del autor.Este increible y fascinante relato real es un viaje al imperio empresarial y delictivo de la Camorra, que comienza y termina bajo el signo de las mercancias. Las mercancias frescas, bajo las formas mas variadas (videojuegos, relojes, ropa de marca) llegan al puerto de Napoles, y para ser almacenadas y escondidas se sacan de los gigantescos contenedores e invaden antiguos palacetes, previamente vaciados por completo.Las mercancias muertas, procedentes de toda Italia y de media Europa, en forma de residuos quimicos, restos toxicos o fango, son vertidas abusivamente en los campos, donde envenenan, entre otros, a los mismos capos que erigen en esas tierras sus fastuosas y absurdas mansiones.Esta es hoy la Camorra (o el Sistema, ya que casi nadie usa la palabra Camorra): por un lado, una organizacion empresarial con impresionantes ramificaciones por todo el planeta y una zona oscura siempre mas extensa donde cuesta distinguir cuanta riqueza es producto directamente de la sangre y cuanta de simples operaciones financieras, y por el otro, un fenomeno criminal profundamente influido por los medios de comunicacion y la sociedad del espectaculo, cuyos dirigentes imitan la manera de vestir y de moverse de las estrellas del cine y de las figuras miticas, de los gansteres de Tarantino a las siniestras apariciones deEl cuervo con Brandon Lee.En este libro absorbente y escrupulosamente documentado, Roberto Saviano ha reconstruido tanto la aterradora logica economico-financiera y expansionista de los clanes napolitano y casertano como las febriles fantasias que suman el fatalismo mortuorio de los samurais medievales japoneses.El resultado es un libro extraordinario y potente, apasionado y brutal, al tiempo objetivo y visionario, de investigacion y literario, lleno de horrores e inquietantes fascinaciones; un libro narrado siempre en primera persona por este joven autor, nacido y criado en la tierra de la Camorra mas dura.Reseñas:Una reconstruccion minuciosa de los entresijos y el funcionamiento de la mafia napolitana. Detalles, fechas, nombres y apellidos dotan al texto de un realismo estremecedor.El PeriodicoUn dicho antiguo afirmaba que Napoles era "un paradiso abitato da diavoli". De los diablos que habitan ese fascinante paraiso se ocupa Roberto Saviano enGomorra.Jose Luis Garcia Martin,ABC

Un libro che racconta il potere della camorra, la sua affermazione economica e finanziaria, e la sua potenza militare, la sua metamorfosi in comitato d''affari. Una scrittura in prima persona fatta dal luogo degli agguati, nei negozi e nelle fabbriche dei clan, raccogliendo testimonianze e leggende. La storia parte dalla guerra di Secondigliano, dall''ascesa del gruppo Di Lauro al conflitto interno che ha generato 80 morti in poco piu di un mese. Una narrazione-reportage che svela i misteri del "Sistema" (cosi gli affiliati parlano della camorra, termine che nessuno piu usa), di un''organizzazione poco conosciuta, creduta sconfitta e che nel silenzio e diventata potentissima superando Cosa Nostra per numero di affiliati e giro d''affari.
