Roberto Saviano is best known for his work on the Italian mafia,
but Beauty and the Inferno, winner of the European Book Award 2010,
also tackles universal themes with great insight and humanity, with
urgency, and often with anger. This important collection includes
essays across a remarkably wide field of interests, celebrating
personal heroes as diverse as Frank Miller and Lionel Messi.
However as with the bestselling Gomorrah, his fearless and
unflinching condemnation of the mafia takes centre stage. Implicit
in Saviano's tributes to writers, musicians, sportsmen and
journalists is the message that there is an alternative to living
in corruption and fear. Beauty and the Inferno is a searing polemic
that encompasses Saviano's vision of life and of art, of the good
to be found in humanity and the evil inherent in power. His
commitment to truth resonates from every page.
