Description

Contina la saga Dos amigas, la historia de la amistad de dos
mujeres que recorre los aos ms importantes del siglo XX.

UNA SAGA MEMORABLE

Ella me demostr que yo no haba ganado nada, simplemente porque en
este mundo nuestro no haba nada que ganar... y lo que de verdad vala
la pena era verse de vez en cuando para que el sonido enloquecido de
nuestras mentes fuera rebotando de la una a la otra
sin parar.


Ella es una mujer hermosa, alocada, y su nombre es Lila. Es la misma nia que conocimos en La amiga estupenda, el primer tomo de esta
esplndida saga y ahora, recin cumplidos los diecisis aos, acaba de
casarse con un hombre al que desprecia. La otra, que la escucha, la
sigue y sin querer la imita, es Len, una alumna brillante, empeada en
aprender de los libros todo aquello que Lila aprende de la vida a secas.

As, en este rebote de sensaciones, se desarrolla una amistad muy
peculiar, una relacin donde la complicidad es ley. Basta una mirada de
Lila para que Len entienda qu pasa realmente en el dormitorio de su
amiga. Basta una sonrisa para descubrir qu se esconde tras esos
vestidos caros que se acoplan al cuerpo de Lila como un guante y
provocan a los hombres del barrio. Basta un gesto para que Len sepa que
Lila va a cometer una locura y nadie ser capaz de detenerla.

Npoles, la ciudad que las ha visto crecer, es el escenario de esta
comedia que tiene la fuerza de un drama y se quedar entre nosotros como
una de las obras maestras de la literatura del siglo XXI.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Soon to be an HBO series, the follow-up to My Brilliant Friend in the New York Times bestselling Neapolitan quartet about two friends growing up in post-war Italy is a rich, intense, and generous-hearted family epic by Italy's most beloved and acclaimed writer, Elena Ferrante, "one of the great novelists of our time." (Roxana Robinson, The New York Times).

In The Story of a New Name, Lila has recently married and made her entere into the family business; Elena, meanwhile, continues her studies and her exploration of the world beyond the neighborhood that she so often finds stifling. Love, jealousy, family, freedom, commitment, and above all friendship: these are signs under which both women live out this phase in their stories. Marriage appears to have imprisoned Lila, and the pressure to excel is at times too much for Elena. Yet the two young women share a complex and evolving bond that is central to their emotional lives and is a source of strength in the face of life's challenges. In these Neapolitan Novels, Elena Ferrante, the acclaimed author of The Days of Abandonment, gives readers a poignant and universal story about friendship and belonging.

Ferrante is one of the world's great storytellers. With the Neapolitan quartet she has given her readers an abundant, generous, and masterfully plotted page-turner that is also a stylish work of literary fiction destined to delight readers for many generations to come.
