The Story Of A New Name by Elena Ferrante
A novel in the bestselling quartet about two very different women and their complex friendship: Everyone should read anything with Ferrante's name on it (The Boston Globe).
The follow-up to My Brilliant Friend, The Story of a New Name continues the epic New York Times-bestselling literary quartet that has inspired an HBO series, and returns us to the world of Lila and Elena, who grew up together in post-WI Naples, Italy.
In The Story of a New Name, Lila has recently married and made her entr e into the family business; Elena, meanwhile, continues her studies and her exploration of the world beyond the neighborhood that she so often finds stifling. Marriage appears to have imprisoned Lila, and the pressure to excel is at times too much for Elena. Yet the two young women share a complex and evolving bond that is central to their emotional lives and a source of strength in the face of life's challenges. In these Neapolitan Novels, Elena Ferrante, one of the great novelists of our time (The New York Times), gives us a poignant and universal story about friendship and belonging, a meditation on love and jealousy, freedom and commitment--at once a masterfully plotted page-turner and an intense, generous-hearted family saga.
Imagine if Jane Austen got angry and you'll have some idea of how explosive these works are. --The Australian
Brilliant . . . captivating and insightful . . . the richness of her storytelling is likely to please fans of Sara Gruen and Silvia Avallone. --Booklist (starred review)
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.
