The Neapolitan Novels Boxed Set by Elena Ferrante
In one volume, the New York Times-bestselling epic about hardship and female friendship in postwar Naples that has sold over five million copies.
Beginning with My Brilliant Friend, the four Neapolitan Novels by Elena Ferrante follow Elena and Lila, from their rough-edged upbringing in Naples, Italy, not long after WI, through the many stages of their lives--and along paths that diverge wildly. Sometimes they are separated by jealousy or hostility or physical distance, but the bond between them is unbreakable, for better or for worse.
This volume includes all four novels: My Brilliant Friend; The Story of a New Name; Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay; and The Story of the Lost Child.
Imagine if Jane Austen got angry and you'll have some idea of how explosive these works are. --The Australian
Nothing you read about Elena Ferrante's work prepares you for the ferocity of it. --The New York Times
An enduring masterpiece. --The Atlantic
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.
