Synopsis

Con La amiga estupenda, Elena Ferrante inaugura una trilogia deslumbrante que tiene como telon de fondo la ciudad de Napoles a mediados del siglo pasado y como protagonistas a Lenu y Lila, dos jovenes mujeres que estan aprendiendo a gobernar su vida en un entorno donde la astucia, antes que la inteligencia, es el ingrediente de todas las salsas. La relacion a menudo tempestuosa entre Lila y Lenu viene acompanada 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 mas fuerte, pero La amiga estupenda esta lejos del realismo social: lo que aqui tenemos son unos personajes de carne y hueso, que nos intrigan y nos deslumbran por la fuerza y la urgencia de sus emociones. Por primera vez Ferrante aborda una narracion muy amplia, poniendo en escena un verdadero tableau vivant donde no hay espacio para el topico: todo es vida y todo respira al hilo de la mejor literatura. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION The story 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 they grow, as their paths repeatedly diverge and converge, Elena and Lila remain best friends whose respective destinies are reflected and refracted in the other. They are likewise the embodiments of a nation undergoing momentous change. 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 her protagonists, the unforgettable Elena and Lila."

About the Author

Nadie sabe quién es Elena Ferrante, y sus editores de origen procuran mantener un silencio absoluto sobre su identidad. Alguien ha llegado a sospechar que sea un hombre; otros dicen que nació en Nápoles para trasladarse luego a Grecia y finalmente a Turín.
La mayoría de críticos la saludan como la nueva Elsa Morante, una voz extraordinaria que ha dado un vuelco a la narrativa de los últimos años. El éxito de crítica y de público se refleja en artículos publicados por periódicos y revistas tan notables como The New York Times y Paris Review.
En 2010 Lumen publicó un volumen titulado Crónicas del desamor, donde se reunían las tres novelas para el público adulto publicadas por Ferrante a lo largo de los años, dos de las cuales fueron llevadas al cine. Luego vino esta saga compuesta por La amiga estupenda, Un mal nombre, Las deudas del cuerpo, y finalmente La niña perdida, un cuarto volumen que cierra una obra destinada a convertirse en un clásico de la literatura europea del siglo XXI.

«No me arrepiento de mi anonimato. Descubrir la personalidad de quien escribe a través de las historias que propone, de sus personajes, de los objetos y paisajes que describe, del tono de su escritura, no es ni más ni menos que un buen modo de leer.»
Elena Ferrante en una entrevista via mail de Paolo di Stefano para Il Corriere della Sera.
