Journalist, bestselling author, and one of Italy’s most influential public intellectuals, Roberto Saviano has transformed the way the world understands organized crime, power, and the economic systems that sustain it. His international bestseller Gomorrah, translated into more than 50 languages, became a global publishing phenomenon and inspired both an award-winning film and one of the most successful Italian television series ever produced. Since 2006, Saviano has lived under police protection because of his investigative work and the threats he has received from organized crime.
