The Story of the Lost Child: Neapolitan Quartet
Autor Elena Ferrante Traducere de Ann Goldsteinen Limba Engleză Paperback – 12 aug 2020
“Nothing quite like this has ever been published before,” proclaimed The Guardian about the Neapolitan novels in 2014. Against the backdrop of a Naples that is as seductive as it is perilous and a world undergoing epochal change, Elena Ferrante tells the story of a lifelong friendship between two women with unmatched honesty and brilliance.
The Story of the Lost Child is the concluding volume in the dazzling saga of two women― the brilliant, bookish Elena, and the fiery, uncontainable Lila. Both are now adults, with husbands, lovers, aging parents, and children. Their friendship has been the gravitational center of their lives. Both women fought to escape the neighborhood in which they grew up―a prison of conformity, violence, and inviolable taboos. Elena married, moved to Florence, started a family, and published several well-received books. In this final novel she has returned to Naples, drawn back as if responding to the city’s obscure magnetism. Lila, on the other hand, could never free herself from the city of her birth. She has become a successful entrepreneur, but her success draws her into closer proximity with the nepotism, chauvinism, and criminal violence that infect the neighborhood. Proximity to the world she has always rejected only brings her role as its unacknowledged leader into relief. For Lila is unstoppable, unmanageable, unforgettable.
The four volumes in this series constitute a long remarkable story that readers will return to again and again, and each return will bring with it new revelations.

Recenzii
Included as one of 30 blockbuster novels to look out for this fall by"Entertainment Weekly
"Listed as one of"Publisher Weekly's""Most Anticipated Books of Fall 2015"
Included in the "Kirkus" list of "21 Must-read Fall books"
Praise for "The Story of the Lost Child
""Dazzling...stunning...an extraordinary epic."
Michiko Kakutani, "The New York Times"
It's spectacular, but you will only realize how spectacular "The Story of the Lost Child" is if you do not cheat. You must read the three earlier (also superb) Neapolitan Novels or the perfect devastation wrought by the conclusion of this last novel will be lost on you.
Maureen Corrigan, NPR "Fresh Air
" It is the exploration of the women s mental underworld that makes the book so singular an achievement in feminist literature; indeed, in all literature. Joan Acocella, "The New Yorker
""This is Ferrante at the height of her brilliance." Elissa Schappell," Vanity Fair
""What words do you save? Here's your chance to bring them out, like the silver for the wedding of the first-born: genius, tour de force, masterpiece. They apply to the work of Elena Ferrante, whose newly translated novel "The Story of the Lost Child" is the fourth and final one of her magnificent Neapolitan quartet, a sequence which now seems to me, at least within all that I've read, to be the greatest achievement in fiction of the post-war era." Charles Finch, "The Chicago Tribune"
We are dealing with masterpieces here, old-fashioned classics, filled with passion and pathos. [...] The sheer power of her books is a challenge to the chilly, dour craftsmanship of too many 21st century literary novels. Joe Klein, "TIME Magazine"
"The saga is both comfortingly traditional and radically fresh, it gives readers not just what they want, but something more than they didn't know they craved...through this fusion of high and low art, Ms. Ferrante emerges as a 21st-century Dickens." "The Economist
"
Ferrante's accomplishment in these novels is to extract an enduring masterpiece from dissolving margins, from the commingling of self and other, creator and created, new and old, real and whatever the opposite of real may be. [...] Ferrante's voice is very much her own, but it's force is communal. Perhaps her quartet should be seen as one of the first great works of post-authorial literature." Judith Shulevitz, "The Atlantic""
"
" "Ferrante [. . .] adumbrates the mysterious beauty and brutality of personal experience.
Rachel Cusk, "The New York Times Book Review
"
[. . .] with her new novel, The Story of the Lost Child, Ferrante has written what I d call a city book, a knowing and complex tale that encompasses an entire metropolis. The breadth of vision makes this final installment feel like the essential volume. John Domini, "The Washington Post
" This stunning conclusion further solidifies the Neapolitan novels as Ferrante's masterpiece. "Publishers Weekly"(starred review)
Ferrante has created a mythic portrait of a female friendship in the chthonian world of postwar Naples.
"Kirkus Reviews"(starred review)
Word of mouth launched this series, glowing reviews helped, and, eventually, a publishing phenomenon was born. The series conclusion is a genuine literary event.
"Booklist"(starred review)
Praise for "The Neapolitan Novels
""Ferrante's Naples Quartet is anything but theater. It is the first genuine literary classic of the 21st century." "The Huffington Post"
One of modern fiction s richest portraits of a friendship. John Powers, "Fresh Air, NPR"
The Neapolitan Novels tell a single story with the possessive force of an origin myth.
Megan O Grady, "Vogue
"
"" Elena Ferrante is one of the great novelists of our time This is a new version of the way we live now one we need, one told brilliantly, by a woman.
Roxana Robinson, "The New York Times Book Review
"A strong sense of chiaroscuro characterises the tetralogy: the thuggish violence of the Neapolitan stradone, the political activism of the years of lead, the corruption at every level of society.
" "Jane Shilling"The Evening Standard "(UK)"
