Elena Ferrante is the author of The Days of Abandonment (Europa, 2005), Troubling Love (Europa, 2006), The Lost Daughter (Europa, 2008) and the Neapolitan Quartet (Europa 2012-2015). She is also the author of a children’s picture book illustrated by Mara Cerri, The Beach at Night.
My Brilliant Friend is a rich, intense, and generous-hearted story about two friends, Elena and Lila. Ferrante’s inimitable style lends itself perfectly to a meticulous portrait of these two women that is also the story of a nation and a touching meditation on the nature of friendship. 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. Ferrante is the author of three previous works of critically acclaimed fiction: The Days of Abandonment, Troubling Love, and The Lost Daughter. With this novel, the first in a quartet, she proves herself to be one of Italy’s great storytellers. She has given her readers a masterfully plotted page-turner, abundant and generous in its narrative details and characterizations, that is also a stylish work of literary fiction destined to delight her many fans and win new readers to her fiction.

评分 评分 评分《七月与安生》的英文译名为soul mate。当时我觉得没有那么贴切,七月与安生并没有让人感到他们是soul上面的mate。两个女孩最大的矛盾只是围绕着一个男孩子展开而已。 但是埃莱娜和她的天才女友莉拉就不一样了,她俩是真正的soul mate。 观遍人群,只有彼此可以激发...
读着读着想的都是你。我们和书中的两个角色各有重合又各自偏离,自童年和少女期的羁绊让我从不怀疑你在我生命中无比重要,我在乎你,超过在乎每一种可能性中的我自己。
评分真的不知道哪里好了哦(纽约书评一片称赞):英文读来是简单,可是在我看来就是流水账似地记叙。这个叙述者Elena心理对自己朋友Lila的复杂的看法,我真的看的翻白眼。有这么不自信,嫉妒,在乎自己朋友对自己看法的吗?就算你再出身贫民窟,知道自己学习能力后,还是在那里经常自怨自艾。对自己母亲瘸腿的厌恶的描写我想请问作家要表达什么?
评分小说应有的样子,不像一些讨巧的故事那样高潮迭起(更是戏剧手法)。读完之后,并不能觉得她讲了多么重大的事件,却对人物产生了强烈的共情,极其强烈的共情,她是怎么做到的?an extrodinary coming of age novel
