The iconic Italian author Robert Saviano's latest work of nonfiction is an urgent cry for people to stand up for themselves and the things they believe in, featuring those who have most inspired him - Russian poet Anna Akhmatova, Martin Luther King Jr., the Calipygian Venus, immortalised in marble - alongside those whose actions were most deplorable - Nazi propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels and Rwandan radio host Kantano Habimana, who encouraged the 1993-'94 genocide there.
