Loyalty, love, desire and betrayal – Roberto Saviano and Barbara Auer on women in the Mafia
For his 2006 international bestselling book “Gomorrah”, Roberto Saviano spent years undercover investigating the structures and machinations of the Camorra crime clan. The publication of the book brought Saviano worldwide fame – but also death threats. Ever since, the multi-award-winning journalist and author has been living under police protection and continues to write important and informative books. His latest, published under the title Treue [“Loyalty”] in German, brings to light a murky topic: the role of women in the Mafia. He shows how the structures and values of organized crime dictate love life and family life. Saviano provides unique insights into women’s fates in the male-dominated world of the Mafia, with grippingly told real biographies. He traces their life journeys that weave between love and intrigue, repression and empowerment. German text: Barbara Auer; Host: Karen Krüger
