Napoles es la ciudad mas violenta de la Union Europea. Su criminalidad organizada, la Camorra, ha asesinado desde 1980 a mas de 3.600 personas, mas que la suma de IRA, ETA y Brigadas Rojas, y mucho mas que la Cosa Nostra siciliana. Pero el rojo de la sangre es solo un aspecto de la calamidad. La otra cara del problema es negra: una ciudad que vive de la economia sumergida se condena a vivir al otro lado de la ley. Los jefes de clan, los usureros y los mafiosos sustituyen gradualmente a los politicos, los bancos y los policias. Ese es el mundo en el que se adentra el escritor y periodista napolitano Roberto Saviano. Colaborador de varios medios de comunicacion y miembro del centro de estudios sobre la camorra y la ilegalidad, con "Gomorra" ha logrado un exito inmediato entre los lectores y una impostergable llamada de atencion sobre la situacion de su ciudad natal, donde el desempleo ronda el 20% (en algunos barrios llega hasta el 50%) y la delincuencia es la aspiracion de la mayoria de

Questo libro si propone di affrontare in modo nuovo la questione del crimine organizzato italiano nella seconda met del XIX secolo, utilizzando la categoria di "classi pericolose". Questa impostazione diversa dalla prospettiva, comunemente adottata, che punta viceversa a studiare il crimine organizzato ottocentesco ex post, per cosi dire, "dall'oggi", e cio a partire dalle forme e dalle strutture che la criminalit organizzata si data durante il secondo dopoguerra. Vi al fondo di questa prospettiva un residuo di un pregiudizio di stampo romantico, l'idea per cui vi siano dei soggetti separati, "i criminali", intesi come un popolo a parte, portatore di inequivocabili stigmate comportamentali e attitudinali che li rendono sempre uguali a s stessi malgrado il tempo trascorso. L'adozione del modello delle "classi pericolose" consente invece di muoversi in direzione opposta, basandosi sulla concezione del crimine condivisa nell'Ottocento. Tutto ci ha conseguenze importanti. Piuttosto che considerare, ad esempio, l'analisi della mafia delle origini come una sorta di premessa utile a sceverare le radici lunghe di pratiche criminali che daranno poi luogo nel XX secolo a "Cosa nostra", esso invita invece a immergersi nella confusione dei discorsi e delle pratiche di quell'epoca.

Matteo Garrone's Gomorrah is a stark, shocking vision of contemporary gangsterdom, and one of cinema's most authentic depictions of organized crime. In this tour de force adaptation of undercover Italian reporter Roberto Saviano's best-selling expos of Naples' Mafia underworld (known as the Camorra), Garrone links five disparate tales in which men and children are caught up in a corrupt system that extends from the housing projects to the world of haute couture. Filmed with an exquisite detachm

Malacarne is a stark portrait of the Mafia and its organization: the Cosa Nostra, the Ndrangheta, and the Camorra. Photographer Alberto Giuliani's images convey the influence of the Mafia on the life and culture of the people in the different regions of Italy, These are exclusive, authentic, unsparing photographs. Murder weapons and scenes, the hunters and the hunted, bosses and victims, burials and drug dealings, the concealed and the search operation: Giuliani's photos depict the land of the Mafia as archaic, illuminating the cultural backstory. No less a figure than bestselling author and Mafia expert Roberto Saviano (Gomorra, 3 million sold copies) assisted and advised Giuliani on this project. Malacarne speaks of a country at war.

This work presents a detailed study of the political role of a criminal organization, the Neapolitan Camorra, in its historical context, that of Naples over the last fifty years. In Campania, until 1991, the population tacitly accepted the relationship between the Camorra and the local political elite (based on the exchange of votes for state contracts and protection), and because of the lack of reliable sources it could not seriously be studied by political scientists. In 1991, however, a law was passed which gave generous remission of sentences to criminals who wanted to cooperate with the police. Following this, many members of the Camorra revealed important aspects of the criminal, economic and political activities of their organization. This new information has permitted a re-examination of the Camorra and has provided material for the story to be told.

If George Washington were alive today, what a shining mark he would be for the whole camorra of uplifters, forward-lookers and professional patriots! He was the Rockefeller of his time, the richest man in the United States, a promoter of stock companies, a land-grabber, an exploiter of mines and timber. He was a bitter opponent of foreign alliances, and denounced their evils in harsh, specific terms.

The basis of the Sundance TV series Gomorrah A New York Times Notable Book of the YearA groundbreaking, unprecedented bestseller in Italy, Roberto Saviano's insider account traces the decline of the city of Naples under the rule of the Camorra, an organized crime network more powerful and violent than the Mafia. The Camorra is an elaborate, international system dealing in drugs, high fashion, construction, and toxic waste, and its influence has entirely transformed life in Campania, the province surrounding Naples. Since seeing his first murder victim, at thirteen, Roberto Saviano has watched the changes in his home city. For Gomorrah, he disappeared into the Camorra and witnessed up close the drug cartel's audacious, sophisticated, and far-reaching corruption that has paralyzed his home city and introduced the world to a new breed of organized crime.

I'm never coming back to my home town.A major Italian author’s tale of growing up with Italy’s most brutal criminal enterprise, the Camorra. This striking novella is based on first-hand research of the Camorra, an Italian organized crime network more powerful and violent than the Mafia. It's the brutal organization that was recently exposed by Roberto Saviano, both in his brilliant non-fiction account and the film adaptation. Saviano, as it turns out, first interviewed Camorra members while working as a research assistant to Nanni Balestrini, collecting the stories that would become Sandokan. Though fiction, Sandokan is horribly, devastatingly real. The narrator is a resigned victim of the Camorra. The Camorra members are his neighbors, and he presents an uncompromising description of a world under savage occupation, the true combination of backwardness, violence, and ambition that locks small-town southern Italy under the control of organized crime. It is one of the most meaningful and riveting books to have been produced by Italian literature of recent years, by one of Italy’s most significant authors.The Contemporary Art of the Novella series is designed to highlight work by major authors from around the world. In most instances, as with Imre Kertész, it showcases work never before published; in others, books are reprised that should never have gone out of print. It is intended that the series feature many well-known authors and some exciting new discoveries. And as with the original series, The Art of the Novella, each book is a beautifully packaged and inexpensive volume meant to celebrate the form and its practitioners.

Lionel Scampion, British consul in Naples, has been stabbed to death while bicycling through the piazza of the Porta Carmine. According to his sister, he had no enemies. The Neapolitan police suggest he was murdered by a bicycle-racing rival. In Naples, every mystery is attributed to the Camorra, a powerful criminal society; could its members be involved? Scampion enthusiastically backed the Italian invasion of Libya and befriended army officers of the newly formed Italian Bicycle Brigade. Now the Foreign Office in London has heard that international politics emanating from Rome might have been involved. Seymour of the Special Branch is sent to find out the motive for the murder and, incidentally, to identify the culprit.
