This book is not shocking as "Gomorra" but is rather a modern little "poem" that tells the epic deeds of heroes. There is talk of Saviano from the first steps in the literature up to the writer said, embraced by the earthquake in Italy, which is called the Nobel Academy in Stockholm as an example of courage that can expose through his art is the scourge of the Mafia (whatever its form and name) is the paralysis of a society not yet able to respond, ready than a cowardly smear and tarnish his name, his work, his courage.
It is said of a sample as Lionel Messi, who won the biggest challenge against his own body and Marcianise boxers, so the ring of sweat smells like anger and redemption. Worthy of note are Miriam Makeba, come to Castel Volturno to bring his greetings to fellow Africans exterminated six Camorra from beasts. It also enhances the pint-sized figure of a woman Felicia's mother, Peppino Impastato, who for decades had to face the murderess of her son prior to obtaining justice, a woman fighter who pointed the finger in court " Zu 'Tano "Badalamenti carneficie of the child and the tyrant of Cinisi. It tells the story of Anna Politkovskaya, a journalist and writer, who was killed because there was no other way to plug the mouth in what has Putin's Russia. Saviano then talks about encounter with Joe Pistone aka Donnie Brasco infiltrated the Bonanno mafia clan and the interview with Enzo Biagi in its last transmission.
Thanks Roberto for taking this heroic mission which will benefit all Italians. I can not find other words that carry over to Felicia Impastato Saviano who called on the phone and said: - We should not say anything, I say only two things, one mother and one woman. That mother is "be careful", that a woman is "careful and continuous" -.
IBS.it Review:
"Writing in recent years has given me the opportunity to exist. Articles and reports. Stories and editorials. A job for me was not just a job. Coincided with my life. "Gomorra
Three years later, the novel investigation that has earned him worldwide fame and success, but also the threat of an armored life Camorra and Roberto Saviano takes its dialogue with readers from the pages of a new book, where you breathe in deeply the size of the civil and moral tension in his writing. A writing that explores the reality and boldly says the weapons of literature, combining the charm of the narrative with the commitment of live testimony, not to become a way of life but the reason for life itself. So it is with Saviano and you can tell by reading every line. They understand their readers, to which the author expresses thanks that is also and above all, an admission of intent: "If I had a dream, was to record with my words, to prove that the word literature can still have a weight and the power to change reality. Despite everything that has happened to me, my "prayer", thanks to my readers, has been heard. " To these people, those who are not content to float and to pull a living, between laziness and cynicism, but to those who have made it possible for a text Gomorrah become dangerous for certain powers, he is dedicated to the beauty and hell.
The book comes from the collection of essays and articles originally appeared in newspapers and national media, then reworked and adapted for publication in one volume, with the addition of an introduction and a writing unpublished. Has no intention of being a homogeneous, in contrast leaves space for different voices that spring from personal passions is both the author's sense of duty. The chapters, grouped around five thematic clusters - the south, men, business, war, north - touched on issues dear to the young journalist and author fields: from native lands polluted by the Camorra crime in the affairs of the Lombard real estate market, the boys of Scampia , star for a day at Cannes, the considerations on the Hollywood blockbuster "300", sull'epopea of \u200b\u200bThermopylae, by moving portrait of Michel Petrucciani, Bones crystal, to the memorable meeting with the player Lionel Messi of Barcelona, \u200b\u200bthe only able to repeat, for the better, the goal of Maradona Mexican masterpiece. And finally, the story of the evening with Salman Rushdie the Nobel Academy in Stockholm, a magical place where you can "pick up your lungs and the smell of damp wood that seems to have kept all the appearances of those who has been awarded ". Where Saviano feeds the desire to remain true to its ideals, divided between "beauty", which is necessary for the writer and lives, and its opposite: the 'hell' of evil and corruption that always seems to prevail. Where the writer can show the world what they have always lived on her skin and testifies in his writings. As Albert Camus said, "the charges that are the size of the craft writer are two: the service of truth and that of freedom. "
