'Een non-fictie-tegenhanger van de Great American Novel.' ····· NRC De naam Sackler prijkt groots op de muren van het Louvre, het Metropolitan Museum of Art, Oxford en Harvard University. De familie staat bekend om de omvangrijke donaties aan kunst en wetenschap. De bron van het familiefortuin was jarenlang onbekend, totdat uitkwam dat de Sacklers miljarden verdienden aan het produceren en op de markt brengen van de pijnstiller OxyContine. Dit verslavende medicijn was de aanjager van de wereldwijde opiatencrisis die honderdduizenden mensen fataal werd. In dit literaire meesterwerk onthult Patrick Radden Keefe de schokkende waarheid die schuilgaat achter een van de rijkste en meest gesloten families ter wereld. Het pijnstillerimperium is het verhaal van de opkomst en de val van een Amerikaanse dynastie, en een aanklacht tegen de hebzucht van de superrijken in de eenentwintigste eeuw. 'Als er een non-fictie-tegenhanger zou bestaan van de Great American Novel dan zou dit boek daar een geslaagd voorbeeld van zijn. [...] een knap staaltje onderzoeksjournalistiek.' in NRC Handelsblad 'Dit boek zal je bloed doen koken [...] Een vernietigend portret van een familie die door hebzucht gedreven wordt en die weigert ook maar een greintje verantwoordelijkheid te nemen voor wat zij teweeg heeft gebracht.' John Carreyrou, auteur van Bad Blood, in The New York Times

La família Sackler és una de les més riques del món i és coneguda per haver fet donacions molt generoses a entitats i institucions de l'àmbit de les arts i les ciències. També és la responsable de produir i promocionar l'OxyContin, un opiaci venut com a analgèsic que ha provocat milers de morts i milions d'addictes als Estats Units. Patrick Radden Keefe retrata de forma implacable les tres generacions de la dinastia farmacèutica que ha causat una de les crisis sanitàries més devastadores dels últims anys, i en responsabilitza, també, tot l'entramat d'advocats, funcionaris, metges i polítics que han ajudat a perpetuar-la. L'imperi del dolor és una obra mestra que revela amb rigor i precisió la cara més fosca de l'ambició humana.

Ganador del Goodreads Choice Awards 2021 de Historia y Biografías Seleccionado como uno de los mejores libros de no-ficción del 2021 por Publishers Weekly Finalista del 2021 National Book Critics Circle 2021 La historia que inspiró el documental de HBO Crime of the Century Tras No digas nada, llega lo nuevo de Patrick Radden Keefe. El retrato demoledor de una dinastía cuya fortuna se construyó gracias a Valium y cuya reputación fue destruida por OxyContin. El apellido Sackler adorna los muros de las instituciones más distinguidas: Harvard, el Metropolitan, Oxford, el Louvre… Es una de las familias más ricas del mundo, benefactora de las artes y las ciencias. El origen de su patrimonio siempre fue dudoso, hasta que salió a la luz que lo habían multiplicado gracias a OxyContin, un potente analgésico que catalizó la crisis de los opioides en Estados Unidos. El imperio del dolor empieza en la Gran Depresión, con la historia de tres hermanos dedicados a la medicina: Raymond, Mortimer y el infatigable Arthur Sackler, dotado de una visión especial para la publicidad y el marketing. Años después, contribuyó a la primera fortuna familiar ideando la estrategia comercial de Valium, un revolucionario tranquilizante, para una gran farmacéutica. Tras unas décadas fue Richard Sackler, el hijo de Raymond, quien pasó a dirigir los negocios del clan, incluida Purdue Pharma, su propia empresa fabricante de medicamentos. Basándose en las tácticas agresivas de su tío Arthur para vender el Valium, lanzó un fármaco que había de ser definitivo: OxyContin. Con él ganaron miles de millones de dólares, pero terminaría por arruinar su reputación. Desde 2017, Patrick Radden Keefe ha investigado los secretos de la dinastía Sackler: las complicadas relaciones familiares, los flujos de dinero, sus dudosas prácticas corporativas… El resultado es una bomba periodística que relata el auge y declive de una de las grandes familias americanas y su oscuro emporio de la salud. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Finalist of the 2021 National Book Critics Circle Winner of the Goodreads Choice Awards 2021 on History & Biography Publishers Weekly Best Book 2021 Nonfiction INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER A grand, devastating portrait of three generations of the Sackler family, famed for their philanthropy, whose fortune was built by Valium and whose reputation was destroyed by OxyContin. From the prize-winning and best-selling author of Say Nothing, as featured in the HBO documentary Crime of the Century. The Sackler name adorns the walls of many storied institutions - Harvard, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Oxford, the Louvre. They are one of the richest families in the world, known for their lavish donations to the arts and the sciences. The source of the family fortune was vague, however, until it emerged that the Sacklers were responsible for making and marketing a blockbuster painkiller that was the catalyst for the opioid crisis. Empire of Pain begins with the story of three doctor brothers, Raymond, Mortimer and the incalculably energetic Arthur, who weathered the poverty of the Great Depression and appalling anti-Semitism. Working at a barbaric mental institution, Arthur saw a better way and conducted groundbreaking research into drug treatments. He also had a genius for marketing, especially for pharmaceuticals, and bought a small ad firm. Arthur devised the marketing for Valium and built the first great Sackler fortune. He purchased a drug manufacturer, Purdue Frederick, which would be run by Raymond and Mortimer. The brothers began collecting art, and wives, and grand residences in exotic locales. Their children and grandchildren grew up in luxury. Forty years later, Raymond’s son Richard ran the family-owned Purdue. The template Arthur Sackler created to sell Valium - co-opting doctors, influencing the FDA, downplaying the drug’s addictiveness - was employed to launch a far more potent product: OxyContin. The drug went on to generate some 35 billion dollars in revenue, and to launch a public health crisis in which hundreds of thousands would die. This is the saga of three generations of a single family and the mark they would leave on the world, a tale that moves from the bustling streets of early 20th-century Brooklyn to the seaside palaces of Greenwich, Connecticut, and Cap d’Antibes to the corridors of power in Washington, D.C. Empire of Pain chronicles the multiple investigations of the Sacklers and their company, and the scorched-earth legal tactics that the family has used to evade accountability. The history of the Sackler dynasty is rife with drama - baroque personal lives; bitter disputes over estates; fistfights in boardrooms; glittering art collections; Machiavellian courtroom maneuvers; and the calculated use of money to burnish reputations and crush the less powerful. Empire of Pain is a masterpiece of narrative reporting and writing, exhaustively documented and ferociously compelling. It is a portrait of the excesses of America’s second Gilded Age, a study of impunity among the super elite and a relentless investigation of the naked greed and indifference to human suffering that built one of the world’s great fortunes.

‘Reads like a mashup of The Godfather and Chinatown, complete with gun battles, a ruthless kingpin and a mountain of cash. Except that it’s all true.’ – Time In this thrilling panorama of real-life events, the bestselling author of Empire of Pain investigates a secret world run by a surprising criminal: a charismatic middle-aged grandmother, who from a tiny noodle shop in New York’s Chinatown, managed a multimillion-dollar business smuggling people. In The Snakehead, Patrick Radden Keefe reveals the inner workings of Cheng Chui Ping aka Sister Ping’s complex empire and recounts the decade-long FBI investigation that eventually brought her down. He follows an often incompetent and sometimes corrupt INS as it pursues desperate immigrants risking everything to come to America, and along the way he paints a stunning portrait of a generation of undocumented immigrants and the intricate underground economy that sustains and exploits them. Grand in scope yet propulsive in narrative force, The Snakehead is both a kaleidoscopic crime story and a brilliant exploration of the ironies of immigration in America. ‘A powerful piece of reportage about the violent underworld of New York’s Chinatown’ - The Times

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • From the award-winning author of Empire of Pain and Say Nothing—and one of the most decorated journalists of our time—twelve enthralling true stories of skulduggery and intrigue "An excellent collection of Keefe's detective work, and a fine introduction to his illuminating writing." —NPR “Fast-paced...Keefe is a virtuoso storyteller." —The Washington Post Patrick Radden Keefe has garnered prizes ranging from the National Magazine Award to the Orwell Prize to the National Book Critics Circle Award for his meticulously-reported, hypnotically-engaging work on the many ways people behave badly. Rogues brings together a dozen of his most celebrated articles from The New Yorker. As Keefe says in his preface “They reflect on some of my abiding preoccupations: crime and corruption, secrets and lies, the permeable membrane separating licit and illicit worlds, the bonds of family, the power of denial.” Keefe brilliantly explores the intricacies of forging $150,000 vintage wines, examines whether a whistleblower who dared to expose money laundering at a Swiss bank is a hero or a fabulist, spends time in Vietnam with Anthony Bourdain, chronicles the quest to bring down a cheerful international black market arms merchant, and profiles a passionate death penalty attorney who represents the “worst of the worst,” among other bravura works of literary journalism. The appearance of his byline in The New Yorker is always an event, and collected here for the first time readers can see his work forms an always enthralling but deeply human portrait of criminals and rascals, as well as those who stand up against them.

"El nombre de los Sackler adorna las paredes de muchas instituciones de renombre : Harvard, el Museo Metropolitano de Arte, Oxford, el Louvre. Es una de las familias más ricas del mundo, conocida por sus generosas donaciones a las artes y las ciencias. Sin embargo, el origen de la fortuna familiar era impreciso hasta que se supo que los Sackler eran responsables de la fabricación y comercialización de un analgésico de gran éxito que fue el catalizador de la crisis de los opioides. Empire of Pain comienza con la historia de tres hermanos médicos, Raymond, Mortimer y el incalculablemente enérgico Arthur, que capean la pobreza de la Gran Depresión y el espantoso antisemitismo. Trabajando en una bárbara institución mental, Arthur vio un camino mejor y llevó a cabo una investigación pionera sobre tratamientos farmacológicos. También tenía un genio para el marketing, especialmente para los productos farmacéuticos, y compró una pequeña empresa de publicidad. Arthur ideó el marketing del Valium y construyó la primera gran fortuna de los Sackler. Compró un fabricante de medicamentos, Purdue Frederick, que sería dirigido por Raymond y Mortimer. Los hermanos comenzaron a coleccionar arte, y esposas, y grandes residencias en lugares exóticos. Sus hijos y nietos crecieron en el lujo. Cuarenta años más tarde, el hijo de Raymond, Richard, dirigió la empresa familiar Purdue. El modelo que Arthur Sackler creó para vender Valium -cooperar con los médicos, influir en la FDA, restar importancia a la adicción de la droga- se empleó para lanzar un producto mucho más potente : OxyContin. El fármaco generó unos 35.000 millones de dólares de ingresos y desencadenó una crisis de salud pública en la que murieron cientos de miles de personas". Editor.
