书籍介绍

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 ...

整个八月读完了那不勒斯的后面两部,感觉就像走完了一段人生,也许就像最后所说城市的命运,有起有伏,也不是按照任何一个线性的原则,你永远无法预知下一步会怎样,你知道的只是你会活下去。
前三本因为有中文版所以一天一本的看完了,第四本无奈只能看英文版,看了一个半月才看完 10/mars/2018
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
终于读完这四部曲了,像走过了Lila和Lenu 从六岁到老的人生,长长的喟叹。第四部出现的转折非常的突然,里面的Lila 变得更模糊了。看见Lenu 对自己的永恒的怀疑时,有这么一句话deeply struck me:我的人生就是为了改变自己的社会阶级打的一场漂亮的仗。
关于友谊真是太真实了,所有丑陋肮脏的部分都写出来了,毫无保留。之后lenu崩溃发现也许lila从头就定义了她的人生,有这样一个朋友,其实未尝不是幸福。只是她太执着于要走出lila的影子,即使她找到了一个很好的自己。
“You can be hurt only if you love someone. But I don’t love anyone.” All Lila does is just do what she has to do in order not to fall out of power and disappear without a trace. 一个敢作敢当,坦然接受生活的痛苦,坚韧的woman💖
2023年结束之前阅读完的“大部头”。真的很少会有一个老奶奶真的把自己的一生娓娓道来讲出来,其中包括很多人生智慧。人物很真实,没有绝对的好人和坏人,没有绝对的现实和真理…总体看到的有个人成长方面内容,三观上的内容,还有时代背景和Naples背景。好看也有很多值得思考的问题🤔
曾以为20多岁时最痛苦,看完四部曲发现人的一生都很苦,吃不同的苦,快乐又挣扎的一生鸭
Endless sadness
为最终部分模糊虚与实的界限加一星。故事从不是closure,而是多样的解读,多种遗憾,遗憾里掩藏的一点希望。
