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 neighborhood 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 neighborhood, a city, and a country undergoing momentous change. --front flap
Very slow and very dense writing, but I got quite into it towards the end. Don't think I could read the entire quartet though.
Elena Ferrante goitizenaren atzean nor ezkutatzen den zehazki ez dakigun arren, deskribapenetarako gaitasun paregabea duen idazle batekin topo egiten dugu.
Nik italieraz irakurri nituen tetralogia honetako lau liburuak baina Igela argitaletxeak euskarara itzulita argitaratu ditu. Napoli inguruak eta protagonistaren bilakaera gertu gertutik ezagutzeko aukera ematen digu testuak, behin eta berriz itzultzeko moduko bidaia polit polit bat!
