Roberto Saviano

Roberto Saviano
Nothing in the world—organic or synthetic, metal or chemical—has produced more deaths than the AK-47.  It has killed more than the atom bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, more than HIV, more than the bubonic plague, more than malaria, more than all the attacks by Islamic fundamentalists, more than the total of all the earthquakes that have shaken the globe.  An exponential amount of human flesh, impossible to even imagine.  

Only one advertisement at a convention came anywhere close to a convincing description:  fill a bottle with sugar by pouring the grains from a small hole in the corner of the bag.  Each grain of sugar is someone killed by a Kalashnikov.

Gomorra
(loosely translated by Zara Altair)
