From the author of the international sensation My Brilliant Friend This book invites readers into Elena Ferrante’s workshop. It offers a glimpse into the drawers of her writing desk, those drawers from which emerged her three early standalone novels and the four instalments of My Brilliant Friend, known in English as the Neapolitan Quartet. Consisting of over twenty years of letters, essays, reflections, and interviews, it is a unique depiction of an author who embodies a consummate passion for writing. In these pages Ferrante answers many of her readers’ questions. She addresses her choice to stand aside and let her books live autonomous lives. She discusses her thoughts and concerns as her novels are being adapted into films. She talks about the challenge of finding concise answers to interview questions. She explains the joys and the struggles of writing, the anguish of composing a story only to discover that it isn’t good enough for publication. She contemplates her relationship with psychoanalysis, with the cities she has lived in, with motherhood, with feminism, and with her childhood as a storehouse of memories, material, and stories. The result is a vibrant and intimate selfportrait of a writer at work.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Named the #1 Book of the 21st Century by the New York Times The "enduring classic" about the lifelong friendship of two women from Naples (The Atlantic). Now an HBO series: the first volume in the New York Times-bestselling "enduring masterpiece" about a lifelong friendship between two women from Naples (The Atlantic). Beginning in the 1950s in a poor but vibrant neighborhood on the outskirts of Naples, Elena Ferrante's four-volume story spans almost sixty years, as its main characters, 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 conflicted friendship. This first novel in the series follows Lila and Elena from their 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 two women. "An intoxicatingly furious portrait of enmeshed friends."--Entertainment Weekly "Spectacular."--Maureen Corrigan, NPR's Fresh Air "Captivating."--The New Yorker

“High stakes, subversive literature.”—The Telegraph When Elena Ferrante set out to write the story of Elena and Lila, she conceived it as one single work of fiction, one expansive novel that would capture the reality and ambivalence of female friendship, motherhood, marriage, class and adolescence. 2025 marks 10 years since publication of the quartet was completed. To celebrate this anniversary, as well as honour and acknowledge the author’s original conception, we are releasing the four novels in one volume. Described by the New Yorker’s James Wood as “large, captivating, amiably peopled...a beautiful and delicate tale of confluence and reversal,” the Neapolitan Quartet tells a poignant, universal story about friendship and belonging. “The capacity of stories to speak to anyone and in any time is the fruit of a mysterious mixture of sensibility, ability, and luck, and no writer really knows how that fruit ripens and if it has fully matured.”—Elena Ferrante

Un estuche que re ne los cuatro vol menes de la memorable saga «Dos amigas de Elena Ferrante: La amiga estupenda, Un mal nombre, Las deudas del cuerpo y La ni a perdida. Una tetralog a deslumbrante que tiene como tel n de fondo la ciudad de N poles a mediados del siglo pasado y como protagonistas a Len y Lila, dos j venes mujeres que est n aprendiendo a gobernar su vida en un entorno dif cil. La relaci n a menudo tempestuosa entre Lila y Len viene acompa ada 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 m s fuerte. Pero en las cuatro novelas tenemos personajes de carne y hueso, que nos intrigan y nos deslumbran por la fuerza y la urgencia de sus emociones, as como por la manera en que logran salir adelante con el empuje de su inteligencia. «Quer a contar solo la vida de dos mujeres -ha dicho la autora-. Y para hacerlo era necesario que filtrara la historia en el trasfondo de sus existencias, las cosas que de un modo u otro ten an que ver con ellas. Me gustar a que el relato ayudase a contemplar en t rminos narrativos un pedazo de la historia de Italia . El resultado es una fabulosa novela r o en cuatro entregas, que perdurar como una de las obras maestras de la literatura del siglo XXI. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A box set of the first four volumes in Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan Novels series: My Brilliant Friend, The Story of a New Name, Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay, and The Story of the Lost Child. A stunning four-book series set in mid twentieth-century Naples and featuring Len and Lila, two young women learning to navigate their lives in a complex environment. Their often-tempestuous friendship is accompanied by a chorus of voices that lend context to their story, creating a portrait of a poor neighborhood of resilient people governed by the reality of the survival of the fittest. All four novels feature compelling protagonists fleshed out by the power and immediacy of their emotions and persevering by their wits. "I wanted to tell the story of two women," the author has said, "and to do that, I had to incorporate the history that served as the backdrop of their lives, all the aspects that were related to them in one way or another. The sum illuminates a piece of the history of Italy." This stunning four-part narrative will endure as a masterpiece of twenty-first century literature.

Four "pitch-perfect" (Oprah Daily) essays by the author of My Brilliant Friend and The Lost Daughter.In these four crisp essays, Ferrante offers a rare look into the origins of her literary prowess. She describes her influences, her struggles, and her formation as both a reader and a writer; she warns against the perils of "bad language" and the ways in which it has long excluded women's truth; she proposes a choral fusion of feminine talent as she brilliantly discourses on the work of Emily Dickinson, Gertrude Stein, Ingeborg Bachmann, and many others.An "incandescent...philosophical monograph on the nature of writing," (Molly Young, New York Times) this candid collection by one of the great novelists of our time is destined to delight general readers, writers, and Ferrante fans in equal measure."Everyone should read everything with Elena Ferrante's name on it."--The Boston Globe

Elena Ferrante romaan "Täiskasvanute valelik elu" avaldati 2019. aastal ja mõned aastad hiljem tehti sellest ka teleseriaal. Taas kord toimub tegevus Napolis, kus 1990. aastate alguses kuuleb 12-aastane peategelane Giovanna juhuslikult pealt, kuidas tema jumaldatud isa väitel hakkab ta tasapisi omandama oma tädi, isa õe Vittoria nägu. See jahmatav avaldus on seda ebameeldivam, et Vittoriat peetakse inetuks. Kuuldu ajendab tüdrukut lähemalt uurima isapoolset perekonda, keda tema vanemad on püüdnud oma elust eemale hoida. Romaan järgib Giovanna psühholoogilist ja seksuaalset kujunemist kahes vastandlikus Napolis: tuttavas keskklassi Rione Alto ülemises linnaosas ja all vaeses ja räpases tööstusrajoonis. Mõlemas püüab ta leida vastust teda kasvueas vaevavatele küsimustele, õpib tundma all-linna inimesi, keda tema vasakpoolsete vaadetega haritlastest vanemad põlgavad. Tema kodune elu keeratakse pea peale, kui isa perekonna maha jätab. Ornas murdeeas on seda kõike peaaegu liiga palju, kuid varasemalt kardetud all-linnas kohtab ta nii mõndagi uut ja lootustandvat. Tädi Vittoria ja kõik, mida ta esindab, on täielik vastand Giovanna vanematele, see on "nagu Napoli, aga hoopis teine planeet". Elena Ferrante sai ülemaailmselt tuntuks oma Napoli-ainelise tetraloogiaga "Minu geniaalne sõbranna", millest on olemas ka teleseriaal. Ka käesoleva raamatu ekraniseering on pälvinud rohkelt tunnustust.

Vad gör man när ens bästa väninna sedan 60 stormiga år tillbaka plötsligt valt att försvinna? Lilas och Lenùs livslånga vänskap börjar när de sex år gamla tar varandra i handen för att få mod att konfrontera den fruktade svartabörshandlaren Don Achille och kräva tillbaka sina dockor. Det är femtiotal och bistra efterkrigstider i en eländig förort till Neapel. Flickornas uppväxt präglas av fattigdom, våld i familjen och utanför och stenhårda könsroller. Skomakarens dotter Lila är den självklara ledaren av de två, utmanande, tuff och briljant, medan vaktmästardottern Lenù är blyg och noggrann. De både stöttar varandra med självuppoffrande kärlek och tävlar med vass rivalitet om att vara bättre än den andra. En suggestiv tolkning av första boken i Elena Ferrantes världsberömda Neapelkvartett om två kvinnors komplexa och ibland konfliktfyllda vänskap. Denna första del i serien följer Lila och Lenù från deras möte som sexåringar genom skolåren och upp i tonåren.
