The highly acclaimed series "Boardwalk Empire," based on the nonfiction book of the same name by Nelson Johnson, is a must-see. In the 1920s, Atlantic City was the world's playground, a dream kingdom on the sand where every man, woman, and child could feel like royalty. The city thrived because it gave its guests what they wanted - the opportunity to have a good time at an affordable price. For much of the 20th century, the city was controlled by politicians and the mafia. This alliance, financed by casinos, bars, and brothels, reached its peak under the rule of Enoch Johnson-Nucky, the greatest authority on the Republican Party and the criminal world. In the book, Atlantic City shimmers with luxury, reeks of cigars, and the lingering aroma of casino halls. Nelson Johnson shows the city's transformation from a quiet seaside resort to a scandalous entertainment and gambling mecca where the mafia rules and no rules apply. Colorful, shocking and frank - this is the chronicle of the prosperity of Atlantic City, the birthplace of the American mafia, which will captivate fans of historical books, films and TV series about criminals. This true story of Atlantic City inspired the HBO® series, which has won multiple Emmy awards, and has already become a favorite among Lithuanian viewers.
