Sigue las vivencias de las protagonistas de la saga «Dos amigas»: una historia de amistad que recorre los años más importantes del siglo XX.

UNA SAGA MEMORABLE.


Érase una vez dos niñas, Elena y Lila, que nacieron en 1944 en un barrio pobre de la ciudad de Nápoles, y desde entonces su historia ha sido el hilo conductor de esta espléndida saga napolitana que ahora llega a su tercera entrega.

Lila se casó muy joven con el hombre más adinerado del barrio y poco tardó en dejarlo. Ahora vive en un lugar miserable, pero su ingenio no ha mermado; solo se ha transformado en rabia. Es quizá este odio lo que la llevará a capitanear las revueltas en la fábrica y a negarse a una convivencia pacífica y modesta con su nuevo compañero.

Elena, en cambio, ha continuado con los estudios e incluso ha escrito una novela. Ahora vive entre Nápoles y Pisa, y se ha casado con un profesor de la Universidad de Florencia.

Así, a primera vista, nada une ya a las dos amigas, pero el barrio de Nápoles donde fueron niñas aún las reclama, las viejas costumbres las devuelven a un tiempo que ya se fue, y la vida se cobra su precio.


Los autores la elogian...

«Siempre que disfruto con un libro, lo regalo, y ahora escogería una de las novelas de Elena Ferrante.»

«La magia de Elena Ferrante consiste en convertir la complejidad de la vida en una lectura apasionante.»

Núria Escur, La Vanguardia

Benjamín G. Rosado, Cultura (El Mundo)

«Seguramente sea la revelación más trascendente de la narrativa europea en el último cuarto de siglo.»
Robert Saladrigas, La Vanguardia

«Todo el mundo debería leer cualquier cosa que lleve la firma de Elena Ferrante.»

The Boston Globe

«Elena Ferrante puede ser una de las mejores autoras de las que hayas oído hablar.»

Time

«Una historia de amor épica, destinada a formar parte de las grandes obras de la literatura Occidental.»

Huffington Post

Famosos de todo el mundo alaban su obra...

«Yo... no tengo palabras para describir lo que sesiente al descubrir un tesoro como éste. Los que disfrutáis con la lectura me entenderéis.¿Cómo no conocía yo a Elena Ferrante? Su saga de Nápoles es fascinante.»

Carmen Chaparro

«Sé que me sumo tarde a la fiesta... ¡pero este libro es increíble!»

James Franco

«Ferrante es única (...) Sus libros permanecerán siempre conmigo.»

Jennifer Morrison, actriz en House, Once Upon a Time

English Description

The incredible story continues in book three of the critically acclaimed Neapolitan Novels!

Since the publication of
My Brilliant Friend, the first of the Neapolitan novels, Elena Ferrante's fame as one of our most compelling, insightful, and stylish contemporary authors has grown enormously. She has gained admirers among authors—Jhumpa Lahiri, Elizabeth Strout, Claire Messud, to name a few—and critics—James Wood, John Freeman, Eugenia Williamson, for example. But her most resounding success has undoubtedly been with readers, who have discovered in Ferrante a writer who speaks with great power and beauty of the mysteries of belonging, human relationships, love, family, and friendship.

In this third Neapolitan novel, Elena and Lila, the two girls whom readers first met in
My Brilliant Friend, have become women. 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 have attempted 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 during the nineteen-seventies. Yet they are still very much bound to each other by a strong, unbreakable bond.

Editorial Reviews

About the Author

Nadie sabe quién es Elena Ferrante, y sus editores de origen procuran mantener un silencio absoluto sobre su identidad. Alguien ha llegado a sospechar que sea un hombre; otros dicen que nació en Nápoles para trasladarse luego a Grecia y finalmente a Turín.
La mayoría de críticos la saludan como la nueva Elsa Morante, una voz extraordinaria que ha dado un vuelco a la narrativa de los últimos años. El éxito de crítica y de público se refleja en artículos publicados por periódicos y revistas tan notables como
The New York Times y Paris Review.
En 2010 Lumen publicó un volumen titulado
Crónicas del desamor, donde se reunían las tres novelas para el público adulto publicadas por Ferrante a lo largo de los años, 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 niña perdida, un cuarto volumen que cierra una obra destinada a convertirse en un clásico de la literatura europea del siglo XXI.

«No me arrepiento de mi anonimato. Descubrir la personalidad de quien escribe a través de las historias que propone, de sus personajes, de los objetos y paisajes que describe, del tono de su escritura, no es ni más ni menos que un buen modo de leer.»
Elena Ferrante en una entrevista via mail de Paolo di Stefano para
Il Corriere della Sera.

Loved reading this in Spanish. Need to get back to my Native Language. It adds more richness to the story. Now, time to read the final book in this extraordinary novel.

I enjoyed the first two more, but it’s still
a captivating story. I’d call it a story about friendship, women and the chais of life.
Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2015
La tercera novela de la trilogia es un profundo analisis de la mujer en los anos sesenta y setenta en Italia. Con gran maestria, Elenta Ferrante presenta las angustias de una mujer joven, que ha escrito una novela exitosa y su relacion con los amigos de juventud en un barrio pobre de Napoles. Al mismo tiempo conocemos el ambiente de violencia e inestabilidad que se vivia alli tanto en lo politico como en lo social. La amiga brillante de la juventud, Lila o Lina y el amigo Nino crecen y se desrrollan de manera intrigante.

Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2015
Sin duda la parte más flojita del tríptico napolitano. No obstante, ello es consecuencia del flujo de la historia misma (Elena Greco y su amiga estupenda ya no son unas muchachitas abriéndose paso por la vida). El estilo de Elena Ferrante sigue siendo voraz y sólido, con una franqueza demoledora.

La traducción, todo hay que decirlo, es impecable.

¿La buena noticia? Señoras y señores: habrá secuela (de ahí que la serie no sea en realidad un tríptico). Espero ansioso.

It is absolutely wonderful! Full of anecdotes, amazing descriptions of life in poor suburbs of Naples, and above all, an exquisite picture of a lifelong friendship told with brutal honesty by one of the incumbents. You can't stop reading it to the last page, and wishing for more.

Aunque me ha sorprendido la situación de Italia, no dejo de compararla con nuestros pueblos, con el sometimiento de la mujer y la vida en los minúsculas poblaciones en las que al final no se sabe quién es hijo de quién

Sinceramente quiero que las siguientes generaciones de mujeres no dependan del hombre para su felicidad. Que la idea de valerse por si mismas sea real al 100%. Que tengan y aprovechen su indivualidad sin necesidad de nadie. Que vivan para si mismas y no para agradar a nadie menos al sexo opuesto. Que esto no sea un decir sinó un realidad.
