The story of the novel "The Octopus" is unusual. We are used to the fact that plays, films, and TV series are based on popular books. In this case, the literary work arose as a novel version of the TV series La Piovra ("The Octopus"), which was a sensation not only in Italy but also far beyond its borders, based on the plot of the famous screenwriter Ennio De Concini. The novel gives millions of TV viewers the opportunity to restore and retain in their memory the events and characters that flashed on the screen, to understand the complex intricacies of the struggle waged by the tireless Commissioner Cattani against the all-powerful "octopus" of corruption. The author of this novelization is the Italian writer and journalist Marco Nese, the Rome correspondent of the influential Milan newspaper "Corriere della Sera". He also collaborated with RAI (Radiotelevisione Italiana - Italian public television and radio company) and the American NBC. In addition to "The Octopus", he wrote several documentary and fiction books, including the study "Under the Sign of the Mafia". Nese slightly changed the script basis, gave the work the character of a literary narrative, rearranged some accents, deepened the psychological characteristics, and paid more attention to the events of the personal life of Commissioner Cattani.
