Beauty and the Inferno Book

Roberto Saviano is best known for his work on the Italian mafia but Beauty and the Inferno also tackles universal themes with great insight and humanity with urgency and often with anger. This important collection includes essays on the legacy of the earthquake at L'Aquila a town at risk of becoming overrun by mafia; on boxing as an escape route; on the life of the legendary South African jazz singer Miriam Makeba; on an encounter with Salman Rushdie and a tribute to Frank Miller author of the graphic novel 300; on Michael Herr's Dispatches. One essay reflects on the aftermath of the publication of his book and subsequent film Gomorrah and how his life has been conditioned by the mafia's death threats and the final essay in the collection celebrates the life of the Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya.Read More
