Uno de los mejores libros del Siglo XXI según el
New York Times
Una joya de la literatura contemporánea que ya ha fascinado a más de medio millón de lectores en Italia y Estados Unidos.
Primer libro de la saga 'Dos Amigas", que inspiró la serie de HBO.
UNA SAGA MEMORABLE
Con
La amiga estupenda
, Elena Ferrante inaugura una tetralogia deslumbrante que tiene como telón de fondo la ciudad de Nápoles a mediados del siglo pasado y como protagonistas a Lenù y Lila, dos jóvenes mujeres que están aprendiendo a gobernar su vida en un entorno donde la astucia, antes que la inteligencia, es el ingrediente de todas las salsas.
La relación a menudo tempestuosa entre Lila y Lenù viene acompañada de un coro de voces que dan cuerpo a su historia y nos muestran la realidad de un barrio pobre, habitado por gente humilde que acata sin rechistar la ley del más fuerte, pero
está lejos del realismo social: lo que aquí tenemos son unos personajes de carne y hueso, que nos intrigan y nos deslumbran por la fuerza y la urgencia de sus emociones.
Por primera vez Ferrante aborda una narración muy amplia, poniendo en escena un verdadero
tableau vivant
donde no hay espacio para el tópico: todo es vida y todo respira al hilo de la mejor literatura.
«El reto para quien escribe es llenar la distancia entre lo que vives y lo que cuentas, sentir físicamente el impacto de la narración...».-Elena Ferrante
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
One of the
’s 100 Best Books of the 21st Century
Book one in the
bestselling Neapolitan quartet about two friends growing up in post-war Italy is a rich, intense, and generous-hearted family epic by Italy’s most beloved and acclaimed writer, Elena Ferrante, “one of the great novelists of our time.” (Roxana Robinson,
The New York Times
)
Beginning in the 1950s in a poor but vibrant neighborhood on the outskirts of Naples, Ferrante’s four-volume story spans almost sixty years, as its protagonists, the fiery and unforgettable Lila, and the bookish narrator, Elena, become women, wives, mothers, and leaders, all the while maintaining a complex and at times conflictual friendship. Book one in the series follows Lila and Elena from their first fateful meeting as ten-year-olds through their school years and adolescence.
Through the lives of these two women, Ferrante tells the story of a neighborhood, a city, and a country as it is transformed in ways that, in turn, also transform the relationship between her protagonists.
“An intoxicatingly furious portrait of enmeshed friends,” writes
Entertainment Weekly
. “Spectacular,” says Maureen Corrigan on
NPR
’s Fresh Air. “A large, captivating, amiably peopled bildungsroman,” writes James Wood in
The New Yorker
Ferrante is one of the world’s great storytellers. With
My Brilliant Friend
she has given her readers an abundant, generous, and masterfully plotted page-turner that is also a stylish work of literary fiction destined to delight readers for many generations to come.
