Gomorrah a personal journey into the violent international empire of Naples' organized crime system

Gomorrah is a bold and important work of investigative writing that holds global significance. A groundbreaking, unprecedented bestseller in Italy, Roberto Saviano's gripping account traces the decline of Naples under the rule of organized crime. The Camorra is a network with an international reach and stakes in construction, high fashion, illicit drugs, and toxic waste disposal. Known by insiders as the System, it has infiltrated the economic and social fabric of the city and its region. A native of Naples, Saviano recalls seeing his first murder at the age of thirteen and remembers his own father, a doctor, suffering a brutal beating for trying to aid a teenage victim who had been left for dead in the street. In pursuit of his story, he infiltrates the System's work life and society. He investigates the Camorra's control of thousands of factories contracted to manufacture fashion goods, legally and illegally, for distribution around the world, and reveals how their abusive handling of toxic waste has created devastating pollution. Unique, brave, and graphic in detail, Gomorrah is one heroic young writer's impassioned story of a city --and a world--under the swa of a murderous organization.

  • "A major bestseller in Italy, this is a heroic young man's impassioned 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 why cancer levels there have skyrocketed in recent years. Author Saviano, who saw his first murder at age 14, worked under cover to investigate the Camorra's control of Chinese factories contracted to manufacture fashion goods, legally and illegally, for distribution around the world, and relates how the abusive handling of toxic waste is causing devastating pollution not only for Naples but also China and Somalia.--From publisher description."@en

  • "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."@en
