Europa Editions My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante - Neapolitan Quartet Book 1 - Paperback - Translated by Ann Goldstein - Literary Fiction
My Brilliant Friend is the first novel in Elena Ferrante's internationally acclaimed Neapolitan Quartet, translated from the Italian by Ann Goldstein. Set in 1950s Naples, it introduces childhood friends Elena and Lila as they navigate poverty, ambition, and rivalry in a working-class neighbourhood. Named one of the New York Times' best books of the century, it is a searing and unforgettable portrait of female friendship, class, and coming of age in post-war Italy. The book opens in a poor but vibrant neighbourhood on the outskirts of Naples, where two young girls, Elena Greco and Raffaella 'Lila' Cerullo, form an intense and complicated friendship that will shape the rest of their lives. As children, Lila's fierce intelligence and defiance make her the more dazzling of the pair, while Elena watches, studies, and quietly competes to keep pace.

The Neapolitan Quartet by Elena Ferrante 4 Books Collection - Fiction - Paperback Europa Editions (UK) Ltd
Titles In This Set: 1. My Brilliant Friend 2. The Story of a New Name 3. Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay 4. The Story of the Lost Child Description: My Brilliant Friend From one of Italy’s most acclaimed authors, comes this ravishing and generous-hearted novel about a friendship that lasts a lifetime. The story of Elena and Lila begins in the 1950s in a poor but vibrant neighbourhood on the outskirts of Naples. Growing up on these tough streets the two girls learn to rely on each other ahead of anyone or anything else, as their friendship, beautifully and meticulously rendered, becomes a not always perfect shelter from hardship. Ferrante has created a memorable portrait of two women, but My Brilliant Friend is also the story of a nation. Through the lives of Elena and Lila, Ferrante gives her readers the story of a city and a country undergoing momentous change. The Story of a New Name Lila has recently married and made her entrée into the family business; Elena, meanwhile, continues her studies and her exploration of the world beyond the neighbourhood that she so often finds stifling. Love, jealousy, family, freedom, commitment, and above all friendship: these are signs under which both women live out this phase in their stories. Marriage appears to have imprisoned Lila, and the pressure to excel is at times too much for Elena. Yet the two young women share a complex and evolving bond that is central to their emotional lives and is a source of strength in the face of life’s challenges. Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay Set in the late 1960s and the 1970s, Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay continues the story of the feisty and rebellious Lina and her lifelong friend, the brilliant and bookish Elena. Lina, after separating from her husband, is living with her young son in a new neighborhood of Naples and working at a local factory. Elena has left Naples, earned a degree from an elite college, and published a novel, all of which has opened the doors to a world of learned and fascinating interlocutors. The era, with its dramatic changes in sexual politics and social costumes, with its seemingly limitless number of new possibilities, is rendered with breathtaking vigor. This third Neapolitan Novel is not only a moving story of friendship but also a searing portrait of a rapidly changing world. The Story of the Lost Child The Story of the Lost Child is the concluding volume in the dazzling saga of two women― the brilliant, bookish Elena, and the fiery, uncontainable Lila. Both are now adults, with husbands, lovers, aging parents, and children. Their friendship has been the gravitational center of their lives. Both women fought to escape the neighborhood in which they grew up―a prison of conformity, violence, and inviolable taboos. Elena married, moved to Florence, started a family, and published several well-received books. In this final novel she has returned to Naples, drawn back as if responding to the city’s obscure magnetism. Lila, on the...
