The debut novel from the author of My Brilliant Friend in a brand-new edition Following her mother’s untimely death, Delia sets off on a breath-taking odyssey through the chaotic, suffocating streets of her native Naples in search of the truth about her family. Reality is buried in the fertile soil of memory, and Delia digs deep to reconcile the past with the mysterious events leading up to her mother’s death. Spurred by a series of anonymous phone calls, Delia reconstructs her mother’s final days and with every new discovery must face the possibility that her mother was not at all the person Delia believed her to be. To learn the truth and to untangle the knot of lies, passions and memories that bind mother and daughter, Delia must return to the Naples of her childhood.

En Cr nicas del desamor se re nen las tres novelas que han convertido a Elena Ferrante en una de las voces de m s prestigio de la literatura italiana contempor nea. Las tres piezas tienen como protagonista a una mujer, y las tres indagan en el dolor femenino con mano firme, sin concesiones al sentimentalismo. El amor molesto, la primera de las piezas, narra la relaci n de Delia con su madre Amelia. "Mi madre se ahog la noche del 23 de mayo, el d a de mi cumplea os", escribe la narradora en la primera p gina, y de ah en adelante todo ser descubrir qui n era realmente Amelia. La segunda pieza, titulada Los d as del abandono, cuenta la historia de una mujer joven, madre de dos hijos, que de repente es abandonada por su pareja y tiene que enfrentarse a un nuevo modo de vivir. Sola en Tur n, la mujer cae en una espiral de dolor que la paraliza, y Ferrante consigue que sintamos esa angustia de una manera casi corp rea: sus gestos, sus palabras, todo su cuerpo es la pura expresi n de un mal oscuro que va m s all de la traici n, como si la tragedia griega se hubiera encarnado en el nimo de una mujer de hoy. Luego, poco a poco, el resurgir, ese nuevo pacto con la vida que ya se hace desde otras premisas, esa madurez tan celebrada que sella con garbo nuestros errores. Cierra la trilog a La hija oscura, donde encontramos a Leda, una mujer que se cree sola y libre en un pueblecito de playa, pero el encuentro con una familia muy peculiar la obligar a revisar las relaciones que ha mantenido con sus hijas y descubrir cu les son los lazos que las unen. Una y otra vez, una trama en apariencia banal se convierte en un arma en manos de Ferrante. Su modo de contar hace da o y alivia a la vez, y eso quiz porque sus historias son las de todos, aunque duela reconocerlo. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Chronicles of Heartbreak compiles the three novels that have made Elena Ferrante, one of the most prestigious voices in contemporary Italian literature. El amor molesto (An Upset Love), the first installment, narrates the relationship between Delia and her mother Amelia. "My mother drowned the evening of May 23rd, the day of my birthday" is how the first page begins. From then on, the reader sets to find out who Amelia was. The second volume, Los d as del abandono (The Days of Abandonment), tells the story of a young mother of two who is suddenly abandoned by her partner and has to face her new reality. Alone in Turin, she descends into a devastating emptiness; she feels a pain and anguish that Ferrante in able to make her readers feel. La hija oscura (The Dark Daughter) is the last of the trilogy, here we find Leda who feels free in a little beach town, until her chance meeting with a peculiar family forced her to analize the relationship she's had with her daughters and find out what are the ties that bind them. Once again, what would seem to be a very stale and unoriginal theme, becomes a weapon in the hands of Ferrante.

Leda er ei 47 år gammal veletablert yrkeskvinne. Døtrene har nettopp flytta til faren i Canada, og no ser ho fram til å dra på ferie åleine til sørkysten av Italia. På stranda er ho kvar dag omgitt av ein støyande napolitansk storfamilie. Ho blir meir og meir oppteken av ei ung jente og dottera hennar. Ho vekslar mellom å beundre og å vere sjalu på den unge kvinna og barnet, men avskyr familieklanen som omgir dei. Leda blir overvelda av minna om dei vanskelege og ukonvensjonelle vala ho gjorde som ung mor, og konsekvensane dei fekk for henne og familien. Den dunkle dottera kom ut på italiensk i 2006. Frå italiensk ved Kristin Sørsdal.

Refleksjonar om skriving. Elena Ferrante er ein av dei mest lesne og kritikarroste forfattarane på 2000-talet. I den nye essaysamlinga si fortel ho meir om kva som ligg bak skrivinga av Napoli-kvartetten og «Dei vaksnes løgnaktige liv», dei ulike tekstlaga i romanane og korleis dei inneber eit skifte frå den tidlege forfattarskapen hennar - eit skifte som handlar om å skrive for andre sitt blikk, noko som ikkje minst gjeld for dei skrivande karakterane hennar. Ho skriv om korleis ho utforskar moglegheitene i romanforma - alltid innanfor margane - og ho skriv om Dante og Beatrice og om bøkene til kanoniske forfattarar som Virginia Woolf, Ingeborg Bachmann, Samuel Beckett og Gertrude Stein, og gir lesaren lyst til å lese. Med «Innanfor margane» stadfestar Ferrante posisjonen sin som ein reflektert og litterær tenkar. Til norsk ved Kristin Sørsdal.

A NEW EDITION TO TIE IN WITH THE CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED FILM DIRECTED BY MAGGIE GYLLENHAAL, STARRING OLIVIA COLMAN, DAKOTA JOHNSON AND PAUL MESCAL From the international bestselling author of MY BRILLIANT FRIEND Leda is devoted to her work as an English teacher and to her two children. When her daughters leave home to be with their father in Canada, Leda anticipates a period of loneliness and longing. Instead, slightly embarrassed by the sensation, she feels liberated, as if her life has become lighter, easier. She decides to take a holiday by the sea, in a small coastal town in southern Italy. But after a few days of calm and quiet, things begin to take a menacing turn. Leda encounters a family whose brash presence proves unsettling, at times even threatening. When a small, apparently meaningless, event occurs, Leda is overwhelmed by memories of the difficult and unconventional choices she made as a mother and their consequences for herself and her family. The seemingly serene tale of a woman’s pleasant rediscovery of herself soon becomes the story of a ferocious confrontation with an unsettled past. The Lost Daughter is a compelling and perceptive meditation on womanhood and motherhood, exploring the conflicting emotions that tie us to our children. 18M copies of Elena Ferrante's books sold worldwide
