Gomorra with delivery to Ireland

Published in 2006, Gomorra brought its 27-year-old author, Roberto Saviano, great literary success, but it also put his life in such serious danger that the authorities assigned him protection, and the writer had to leave Naples for a time. In his remarkable, multi-genre work, Saviano describes the new workings of the Neapolitan Camorra, which in recent years has quietly wrapped its tentacles around practically the whole world. He reveals the vast financial empires built on the international trade in arms and drugs, on aggressive, illegal competition, on blackmail, extortion, corruption and murder. Describing the world of the mafia, wars between clans, vendettas, killers and dealers, Saviano shows that the Neapolitan Camorra, in terms of numbers, economic strength and ruthlessness, is far stronger and more powerful than the famous Sicilian mafia and other organised criminal groups of southern Italy.
Gomorra has been a great success in many European countries; in November 2007 it appeared on the New York Times list of the 100 best non-fiction books, announced every year. The newspaper's reviewer described its author as "Salman Rushdie fighting organised crime". The film based on the book, with the same title, directed by Matteo Garrone, received the Grand Prix at the Cannes festival and was also chosen as Italy's candidate for an Oscar nomination in the foreign film category.
