Soon to be an HBO series, book four in the New York Times bestselling Neapolitan quartet about two friends in post-war Italy is a rich, intense, and generous-hearted epic by one of today's most beloved and acclaimed writers, Elena Ferrante, “one of the great novelists of our time.” (Roxana Robinson, The New York Times)
Here is the dazzling saga of two women, the brilliant, bookish Elena and the fiery uncontainable Lila. In this book, life’s great discoveries have been made, its vagaries and losses have been suffered. Through it all, the women’s friendship, examined in its every detail over the course of four books, remains the gravitational center of their lives. Both women once fought to escape the neighborhood in which they grew up. Elena married, moved to Florence, started a family, and published several well-received books. But now, she has returned to Naples to be with the man she has always loved. Lila, on the other hand, never succeeded in freeing herself from Naples. She has become a successful entrepreneur, but her success draws her into closer proximity with the nepotism, chauvinism, and criminal violence that infect her neighborhood. Yet somehow this proximity to a world she has always rejected only brings her role as unacknowledged leader of that world into relief.
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.
Elena Ferrante is the author of seven novels, including four New York Times bestsellers; The Beach at Night, an illustrated book for children; and, Frantumaglia, a collection of letters, literary essays, and interviews. Her fiction has been translated into over forty languages and been shortlisted for the MAN Booker International Prize. In 2016 she was named one of TIME's most influential people of the year and the New York Times has described her as "one of the great novelists of our time." Ferrante was born in Naples.
In truth, Lila is a character so extreme, so unadulterated in all her qualities—fierceness, courage, defiance, honesty, resourcefulness, determination, self-reliance, and, eventually, pessimism—that she never seems persuasively real. Actually human beings...
评分For a woman, it's obviously true that a better-off living standard could save her destiny to a large extent; nice material life, however, must pale into insignificance when compared with good education and books that could tame one completely. As both my in...
评分 评分今年居然看了/听了几本书,包括一分钟前终于听完的那不勒斯四部曲 听的时候想了几个可以写在朋友圈的段子,听完了觉得那样轻浮的态度不太合适现在的心情。 如海水席卷一般的细节,细碎却生动,冗长却真实,听的时候产生奇怪的不耐烦,一边感慨感同身受一边抱怨so what. 几乎每...
评分那不勒斯四部曲的最后一部,步入老年生活后节奏开始慢下来了,作品里有太多未解之谜,Lila这个角色固有她天才之处,但我觉得很大一部分都来源于Lenu自己的臆想和猜测。以及这部作品让我对那不勒斯这座城市简直入迷了。20h51m
评分第四本依然在重蹈先前的反复,作者也毫不掩饰第一人称主角的自私,不是一本讨喜的书,当然“讨喜”不是作者的写作初衷,很明显这是一套非常个人情感的书,读者试图在人物和事件中摸到一丝连贯的线索,但这努力是徒劳的,本质上这是一本借lenu之笔写lila之魂的书,书里lenu作为小说家认为小说应该是“everything has to seem coherent even if it's not”,而lila认为“if the coherence isn't there, why pretend?”,作为读者,一个站在故事界限之外的人,我很难说这种私人式的叙述是“好”的,想想自己也是一直被吸引着看到最后,还是给个四星吧。

评分这么久,总算是把这个系列读完了,虽然给四星,但坦白讲全篇读下来,我并没有像很多人一样觉得Lila就是完美与神性的化身,也没有觉得她和Elena之间的感情能称之为一段伟大的友谊。相反,从她很多的行为方式中我看到的是一种市井的小聪明和狭隘的控制欲,即使毫无疑问她是一个有着极高智商和领悟能力的人,也可能我还是不懂吧。但无论如何,作者对人物对事件的塑造还是很成功不是么,至少开始读了之后你会很关心两个主人公的命运,关心她们之间关系以及各自生活的走向,并且几乎是一定会产生读完全系列的欲望。#21
