Those Who Leave And Those Who Stay by Elena Ferrante
Part of the bestselling saga about childhood friends following different paths by "one of the great novelists of our time" (The New York Times).
In the third book in the New York Times-bestselling Neapolitan quartet that inspired the HBO series My Brilliant Friend, Elena and Lila have grown into womanhood. Lila married at sixteen and has a young son; she has left her husband and the comforts her marriage brought and now works as a common laborer. Elena has left the neighborhood, earned her college degree, and published a successful novel, all of which has opened the doors to a world of learned interlocutors and richly furnished salons. Both women are pushing against the walls of a prison that would have seen them living a life of misery, ignorance, and submission. They are afloat on the great sea of opportunities that opened up for women during the 1970s. And yet, they are still very much bound to each other in a book that "shows off Ferrante's strong storytelling ability and will leave readers eager for the final volume of the series" (Library Journal).
"One of modern fiction's richest portraits of a friendship." --NPR
La mayoria de criticos la saludan como la nueva Elsa Morante, una voz extraordinaria que ha dado un vuelco a la narrativa de los ultimos anos. El exito de critica y de publico se refleja en articulos publicados por periodicos y revistas tan notables como The New York Times y Paris Review.
En 2010 Lumen publico un volumen titulado Cronicas del desamor, donde se reunian las tres novelas para el publico adulto publicadas por Ferrante a lo largo de los anos, dos de las cuales fueron llevadas al cine. Luego vino esta saga compuesta por La amiga estupenda, Un mal nombre, Las deudas del cuerpo, y finalmente La nina perdida, un cuarto volumen que cierra una obra destinada a convertirse en un clasico de la literatura europea del siglo XXI. No me arrepiento de mi anonimato. Descubrir la personalidad de quien escribe a traves de las historias que propone, de sus personajes, de los objetos y paisajes que describe, del tono de su escritura, no es ni mas ni menos que un buen modo de leer.
