Summary
Una joya de la literatura contemporánea que ya ha fascinado a más de medio millón de lectores en Italia y Estados Unidos.
Una Saga Memorable
Con La amiga estupenda, Elena Ferrante inaugura una tetralogia deslumbrante que tiene como telón de fondo la ciudad de Nápoles a mediados del siglo pasado y como protagonistas a Lenù y Lila, dos jóvenes mujeres que están aprendiendo a gobernar su vida en un entorno donde la astucia, antes que la inteligencia, es el ingrediente de todas las salsas.
La relación a menudo tempestuosa entre Lila y Lenù viene acompañada 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 más fuerte, pero La amiga estupenda está lejos del realismo social: lo que aquí 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 narración muy amplia, poniendo en escena un verdadero tableau vivant donde no hay espacio para el tópico: todo es vida y todo respira al hilo de la mejor literatura.
«El reto para quien escribe es llenar la distancia entre lo que vives y lo que cuentas, sentir físicamente el impacto de la narración...» (Elena Ferrante)

Written through clenched teeth
I’ve read the four volumes of ’My Brilliant Friend’ not long after their release in Italian. I remember the experience only vaguely: two ragazze from Naples, the one diligent, loveable and brave, the other, the ’brilliant one’ being greedy and wicked and overrated and depressing and full of allures: disgust at first sight. I remember the characters were painfully stereotypical, always int he middle of a quarrel and handling their problems shouting in the top of their lungs or throwing heavy domestic objects upon each others’ head. And I remember the exquisite prose, the heavenly structure and the excited pleasure of waiting for the next volume.
’My Brilliant Friend’ could be happily written by any Spanish author: the total lacking of humor, the overdose of mindless passion and exhausting pseudo-intellectual, pseudo-psychological pondering is not first hand Italian matter. The Spanish translation is simply celestial and I can taste again the joy of reading this fine fine novel quartet. I will follow Elena and Lila on their way in Spanish and non obstant the irregularities of the storytelling, I will certainly find my pleasures in this audio edition wit the hypnotic voice of Mercé Montalá.
