Synopsis "I'M Still Alive "

For the first time since the publication of his internationally bestselling novel, Gomorrah, Roberto Saviano shares his early-life experience with the violence of the Neapolitan Mafia and how exposing them irrevocably changed his life. Italian journalist Roberto Saviano was twenty-six years old when he published his first book, Gomorrah, to international acclaim. The book, which has gone on to sell 10 million copies worldwide, was a detailed exposé of the Neapolitan mafia, the Camorra, whose organized crime tactics have permeated all matters of industry in Naples: government, infrastructure, high fashion, and drugs. Over fifteen years after Gomorrah's release, Saviano's life has been under constant threat from would be assassins who forced him to leave his native Italy and to live under constant police protection. For the first time since then, Saviano shares his deepest thoughts and experiences of early life in Naples, witnessing the power and violence of Camorra firsthand, his current existence living under guard, all the while continuing to call attention to the deeply rooted crime and corruption that plagues his home. Collaborating with award-winning cartoonist Asaf Hanuka (The Realist, The Divine), both writer and artist examine a life behind armed guard whose best recourse against oppression is through old fashioned pen and paper.

Colabora con La Repubblica y L’Espresso, The Washington Post, The New York Times, El País, Die Zeit, Expressen, Dagens Nyheter y The Times. Por su actividad como escritor y por su compromiso cívico, le han sido concedidos el Premio Viareggio Opera Prima, el Premio Nazionale Enzo Biagi, el Geschwister-Scholl-Preis, el Premio Periodístico de Leipzig, el Premio Manuel Vázquez Montalbán y el European Book Prize. Desde 2006 vive con escolta, debido a las amenazas de los clanes a los que denunció. En 2008 diversos galardonados con el Nobel se solidarizaron con Saviano, y estuvo en la sede de la Academia Sueca para pronunciar un discurso sobre la libertad de expresión. En palabras de Mario Vargas Llosa: «Debemos agradecer a Roberto Saviano que haya devuelto a la literatura la capacidad de abrir los ojos y la conciencia». En Anagrama ha publicado Vente conmigo: «Crónicas excelentemente engarzadas… Es menos ruidoso que Gomorra, pero tiene más “cerebro” y más profundidad» (Félix Soria, La Voz de Galicia), CeroCeroCero: «Uno de los periodistas más interesantes y lúcidos del momento… ¡Qué tristeza da este libro fino y brillante y bien hecho, como un estilete!» (Gregorio Morán, La Vanguardia), La banda de los niños: «Una novela solvente, emotiva y creíble que muestra la putrefacción moral de una sociedad» (Rafael Narbona, El Cultural), Beso feroz: «Un retrato muy crudo de la Camorra… ¡Bendito Saviano!» (Ángeles López, La Razón), Los valientes están solos: «Un homenaje a la memoria del magistrado tratando de reconstruir uno a uno los pasos de un hombre que nunca quiso ser un icono, sino hacer justicia» (Soraya Melguizo, La Razón), y Grita: «Un llamamiento al coraje civil» (Oliver Meiler, Süddeutsche Zeitung).
