  • MediaDB / «Betrayal in Naples" by Neil Griffiths: download fb2, read online

    About the book: 2006 / Ten DON'Ts in Naples: DO NOT take a taxi at the airport without knowing the exact route. DO NOT wander down dark alleys in areas not intended for tourists. DO NOT cross the streets like the Neapolitans - it takes a lifetime to learn this! DO NOT return to your former lover. You can’t step into the same river twice! DO NOT use your poor Italian - if you are able to order a pizza, this does not mean that you can correctly understand a Neapolitan. DO NOT imagine yourself as an action hero - you are just on vacation. Don’t get involved in adventures. DO NOT sleep with someone else’s wife if it was HER HUSBAND who invited you to the country house. DO NOT help a young girl connected with the mafia, no matter how much she asks. DO NOT ignore advice to get out of the city if this advice is given by thugs, who broke into your room. AND - THE MAIN THING: YOU CAN'T FORGET - the judge, and the policeman, and the landlady, and the cook in the restaurant, and the tramp on the street are first of all NEAPOLITAN, and you are a STRANGER. REMEMBER THIS - IF YOU WANT TO STAY ALIVE!
