Reviews
Praise for Elena Ferrante and The Neapolitan Novels "Everyone should read anything with Ferrante's name on it." -The Boston Globe "Ferrante's novels are intensely, violently personal, and because of this they seem to dangle bristling key chains of confession before the unsuspecting reader." - James Wood , The New Yorker "One of the more nuanced portraits of feminine friendship in recent memory." - Megan O'Grady , Vogue "Amazing! My Brilliant Friend took my breath away. If I were president of the world I would make everyone read this book. It is so honest and right and opens up heart to so much. Reading Ferrante reminded me of that child-like excitement when you can't look up from the page, when your eyes seem to be popping from your head, when you think: I didn't know books could do this!" - Elizabeth Strout, author of Olive Kitteridge "Elena Ferrante will blow you away." - Alice Sebold, author of The Lovely Bones "Ferrante's emotional and carnal candor are so potent." - Janet Maslin , The New York Times "I like the Italian writer, Elena Ferrante, a lot. I've been reading all her work and all about her." - John Waters , actor and director ""Elena Ferrante tackles girlhood and friendship with amazing force."- Gwenyth Paltrow "Elena Ferrante may be the best contemporary novelist you've never heard of"- The Economist "[Ferrante's Neapolitan Novels] don't merely offer a teeming vision of working-class Naples, with its cobblers and professors, communists and mobbed-up businessmen, womanizing poets and downtrodden wives; they present one of modern fiction's richest portraits of a friendship." - John Powers , Fresh Air, NPR "Ferrante's freshness has nothing to do with fashion…it is imbued with the most haunting music of all, the echoes of literary history." - The New York Times Book Review "Elena Ferrante's THE STORY OF A NEW NAME, book two in her Naples series. Two words. Read it." - Ann Hood , author of The Obituary Writer "Ferrante writes with a ferocious, intimate urgency." - Susanna Sonnenberg , author of Her Last Death: A Memoir " The Days of Abandonment is a powerful, heartrending novel." - Jhumpa Lahiri, author of The Lowlands "I am such a fan of Ferrante's work, and have been for quite a while." - Jennifer Gilmore , author of The Mothers "No one has a voice quite like Ferrante's. Her gritty, ruthlessly frank novels roar off the page with a barbed fury, like an attack that is also a defense…Imagine if Jane Austen got angry and you'll have some idea of how explosive these works are." - John Freeman , The Australian "The women's fraught relationship and shifting fortunes are the life forces of the poignant book" - Publisher's Weekly "An engrossing, wildly original contemporary epic about the demonic power of human (and particularly female) creativity checked by the forces of history and society." - The Los Angeles Review of Books, #1 BEST BOOK OF THE CENTURY - NEW YORK TIMES "A large, captivating, amiably peopled bildungsroman."--James Wood, The New Yorker "One of modern fiction's richest portraits of a friendship."--John Powers, Fresh Air, NPR "Elena Ferrante is one of the great novelists of our time."--Roxana Robinson, The New York Times Book Review "Compelling, visceral and immediate . . .

My Brilliant Friend took my breath away. If I were president of the world I would make everyone read this book. It is so honest and right and opens up heart to so much. Reading Ferrante reminded me of that child-like excitement when you can't look up from the page, when your eyes seem to be popping from your head, when you think: I didn't know books could do this!"--Elizabeth Strout, author of Olive Kitteridge "The Neapolitan novel cycle is an unconditional masterpiece . . . I read all the books in a state of immersion; I was totally enthralled. There was nothing else I wanted to do except follow the lives of Lila and Lenù to the end." --Jhumpa Lahiri, Pulitzer-prize winning author of The Lowland "Everyone should read anything with Ferrante's name on it." --The Boston Globe "Ferrante's own writing has no limits, is willing to take every thought forward to its most radical conclusion and backwards to its most radical birthing."--The New Yorker, "Everyone should read anything with [Elena Ferrante's] name on it." - The Boston Globe "One of the more nuanced portraits of feminine friendship in recent memory." - Vogue "This gorgeous novel should bring a host of new reader's to one of Italy's most acclaimed authors." - The Barnes and Noble Review "Ferrante, beautifully translated by Ann Goldstein...writes with a ferocious, intimate urgency." - The San Francisco Chronicle "Ferrante draws an indelible picture." - Shelf Awareness "A compelling and moving coming-of-age story" - Booklist "More than a conventional up-from-poverty tale." - Publishers Weekly, #1 BEST BOOK OF THE CENTURY - NEW YORK TIMES "The book expands as propulsively as the early universe, encompassing ideas about art and politics, class and gender, philosophy and fate, all through a dedicated focus on the conflicted, competitive friendship between Elena and Lila...uncompromising, unforgettable."--The New York Times, The #1 Best Book of the 21st Century "A large, captivating, amiably peopled bildungsroman."--James Wood, The New Yorker "One of modern fiction's richest portraits of a friendship."--John Powers, NPR's Fresh Air "Elena Ferrante is one of the great novelists of our time."--Roxana Robinson, The New York Times Book Review "Compelling, visceral and immediate...The Neapolitan novels are a tour de force."--Jennifer Gilmore, The Los Angeles Times "It took my breath away...so honest and right and opens up heart to so much."--Elizabeth Strout, writer "The Neapolitan novel cycle is an unconditional masterpiece."--Jhumpa Lahiri, writer "Everyone should read anything with Ferrante's name on it."--Eugenia Williamson, The Boston Globe "Ferrante's own writing has no limits, is willing to take every thought forward to its most radical conclusion and backwards to its most radical birthing."--The New Yorker "One of the more nuanced portraits of feminine friendship in recent memory."--Megan O'Grady, Vogue "It's just hypnotic. I could not stop reading it or thinking about it."--Hillary Clinton "Ferrante tackles girlhood and friendship with amazing force."--Gwyneth Paltrow, actor "Ferrante's writing seems to say something that hasn't been said before in a way so compelling its readers forget where they are, abandon friends and disdain sleep."--Joanna Biggs, The London Review of Books "Ferrante has written about female identity with a heft and sharpness unmatched by anyone since Doris Lessing."--Elizabeth Lowry, The Wall Street Journal "No one has a voice quite like Ferrante's.

- h***i (1367)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufI sent the seller a friendly request after buying, asking them to please not ship the book in a thin plastic mailer. My message was sent back to me, the seller never saw it or replied. Ebay said that the seller blocks messages. The Book was in fact shipped in a thin plastic mailer. It arrived okay, but sometimes they don't. Bought another book from a different seller at the same time who replied to my message and who ships his books in boxes. Guess who I'll be a repeat buyer with?
