My Brilliant Friend (Two Friends 1)
A jewel of contemporary literature that has already fascinated more than 20 million readers and has been translated into 42 countries. A MEMORABLE SAGA "Ferrante is a born storyteller, as extraordinary and addictive as my beloved John Irving, a classic writer in the wonderful sense of the word." With My Brilliant Friend, Elena Ferrante inaugurates a dazzling saga that has the city of Naples in the middle of the last century as a backdrop and Lenù and Lila as protagonists, two young women who are learning to govern their lives in an environment where cunning, rather than intelligence, is the ingredient of all sauces. The tempestuous relationship between Lila and Lenù shows us the reality of a neighborhood inhabited by humble people who accept without question the law of the strongest. Those who fill these pages with their laughter, their gestures and their words are men and women of flesh and blood, who shake us with the force and urgency of their emotions. The first Italian novel in decades that, according to The Guardian, deserves the Nobel Prize has conquered more than twenty million readers and has been adapted for television in a great series. Reviews from authors, press and celebrities who praise Elena Ferrante's work: "I love Lenù so much... I cried reading her." "The wonderful thing about the Ferrante enigma is that we can concentrate only on her works." "Elena Ferrante's novels have kept me glued to my armchair, reading and celebrating pages where emotion is never trivial: the pain and joy of feeling alive are there for the reader to make their own and everything that is said is necessary, without a single adjective being superfluous or missing." "I read the Neapolitan Novels saga when they came out and I remember waiting for the third and fourth to be translated into English and running to the bookstore to buy them as soon as they were available." "Everyone should read anything by Elena Ferrante." "The first Italian work in decades that deserves the Nobel Prize." "Elena Ferrante may be one of the best authors you've ever heard of." "It's best to accept the game as the author presents it: what matters is not her face, nor the details of her life. What matters is her literature stripped of everything that is not the text itself." "Like Anna Karenina, Lila and Elena are volatile, full of desire and anger. They also break domestic conventions, but what fascinates me is that, instead of eradicating them, Ferrante develops them in all their chaos and pain." "Ferrante is a literary phenomenon. Zadie Smith, Juan Marsé or Ken Follet, among others, have paid homage to her." "I... have no words to describe what it feels like to discover a treasure like this. Those of you who enjoy reading will understand me. How did I not know Elena Ferrante? Her Naples saga is fascinating." "I'm a fan of her novels, which deal in great detail with friendship as we women understand it." |
