Beginning with My Brilliant Friend , the four Neapolitan Novels by Elena Ferrante follow Elena and Lila, from their rough-edged upbringing in Naples, Italy, not long after WWII, through the many stages of their lives—and along paths that diverge wildly. Sometimes they are separated by jealousy or hostility or physical distance, but the bond between them is unbreakable, for better or for worse. This volume includes all four novels: My Brilliant Friend ; The Story of a New Name ; Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay ; and The Story of the Lost Child . “Imagine if Jane Austen got angry and you’ll have some idea of how explosive these works are.”— The Australian “Nothing you read about Elena Ferrante’s work prepares you for the ferocity of it.”— The New York Times “An enduring masterpiece.”— The Atlantic Review: Entrancing story of a long and enduring friendship - I found the Neapolitan novels to be utterly absorbing, full of plot developments and fascinating turns in the story. Elena Ferrante weaves a fascinating account of the evolving lives of a group of friends and families over the course of decades as they and the city change. The ups and downs of their lives and the ever changing relationships keep you guessing and wanting more with every chapter. Bravura series of novels and a real page turner throughout these four books. Review: Beautiful story of a lifelong friendship. - Elena Ferrante's words are magic. I read all four books in one week, because (obviously) I couldn't put them down. I had to know what happened to both heroines, their families, their neighborhood, friends, various locations in Italy, etc. The translational the books from Italian to English isn't always smooth. There are cultural and expression differences that just don't have a mirrored counterpart in English, but meaning is understood. I found the parts where the translation was not a perfect match to be some of the most interesting reads, because it gave you a truer presentation of what a native speaker would say and how they might express themselves. While on this train of thought, I was struck by the domestic violence and wondered whether this was a product of the time period in which the stories took place, whether it was common in poorer Italian locations (the author didn't show this type of spousal or girlfriend abuse amongst the wealthier characters)or whether it was simply fictionalized. It was interesting. Anyway - I could not recommend this series of books higher!!! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #867,970 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3,862 in Women's Divorce Fiction #4,404 in Friendship Fiction (Books) #5,623 in Coming of Age Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 3,077 Reviews | ## Images ![The Neapolitan Novels Boxed Set - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71me7JIuh6L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Entrancing story of a long and enduring friendship *by M***N on May 10, 2022* I found the Neapolitan novels to be utterly absorbing, full of plot developments and fascinating turns in the story.
