"Gomorrah" by Roberto Saviano

I had heard a lot regarding Italian writer Roberto Saviano. In fact, he has appeared plenty of times on television for instance because apart from his knowledge he is sentenced to death this is why he has been living with protection 24 hours per day for nearly 20 years insofar as his book Gomorrah, which I have just read, was a success hence this made the Italian mafia to declare he was going to be killed. 

                         READ THIS IN SPANISH Gomorra de Roberto Saviano

I have always enjoyed reading stories about the mafia and besides, I really love movies about this subject but the most incredible thing of this book is that everything contained therein is true as the famous sentence goes: Reality overcomes fiction 

This book similarly has become a movie and a television series and we should not be strange as the happenings described inside the book are extraordinary.

We learn from different mafia clans which operate in the south of Italy, about their wars, murders, or businesses that not only take place in Italy but in the whole world.

Furthermore, the way Roberto Saviano writes is outstanding and he gives a proper tone to the narration. The author tells everything as a witness as he is from this part of Italy.

A really great and well-written book yet it has condemned its author to a reclusive life insofar as the mafia wants to kill him one way or another. However, it is nearly 20 years since the publication of the book and Roberto Saviano is alive to date.

Have you read Gomorrah?
