description
7N poles es la ciudad m s violenta de la Uni n Europea. Su criminalidad organizada, la Camorra, ha asesinado desde 1980 a m s de 3.600 personas, m s que la suma de IRA, ETA y Brigadas Rojas, y mucho m s que la Cosa Nostra siciliana. Pero el rojo de la sangre es s lo un aspecto de la calamidad.

La otra cara del problema es negra: una ciudad que vive de la econom a sumergida se condena a vivir al otro lado de la ley. Los jefes de clan, los usureros y los mafiosos sustituyen gradualmente a los pol ticos, los bancos y los polic as.

Ese es el mundo en el que se adentra el escritor y periodista napolitano Roberto Saviano. Colaborador de varios medios de comunicaci n y miembro del centro de estudios sobre la camorra y la ilegalidad, con Gomorra ha logrado un xito inmediato entre los lectores y una impostergable llamada de atenci n sobre la situaci n de su ciudad natal, donde el desempleo ronda el 20% (en algunos barrios llega hasta el 50%) y la delincuencia es la aspiraci n de la mayor a de los j venes, que ans an entrar en el "Sistema", como es conocido.

Una tupida red de actividades criminales que partiendo del puerto de N poles, punto de entrada en Europa del comercio chino que escapa en su inmensa mayor a a las Aduanas, y una ingente red de talleres clandestinos, alcanza dimensiones globales

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A New York Times Notable Book of the Year

A 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.
