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.]]></description><link>https://austin.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S67C897144</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://austin.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S67C897144</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ferrante, Elena]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://austin.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/897144067</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781609450786/MC.GIF&amp;client=austinpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay]]></title><description><![CDATA[Since the publication of My Brilliant Friend, the first of the Neapolitan novels, Elena Ferrante's fame as one of our most compelling, insightful, and stylish contemporary authors has grown enormously. She has gained admirers among authors--Jhumpa Lahiri, Elizabeth Strout, Claire Messud, to name a few--and critics--James Wood, John Freeman, Eugenia Williamson, for example. But her most resounding success has undoubtedly been with readers, who have discovered in Ferrante a writer who speaks with great power and beauty of the mysteries of belonging, human relationships, love, family, and friendship. In this third Neapolitan novel, Elena and Lila, the two girls whom readers first met in My Brilliant Friend, have become women. Lila married at sixteen and has a young son; she has left her husband and the comforts of her marriage brought and now works as a common laborer. Elena has left the neighborhood, earned her college degree, and published a successful novel, all of which has opened the doors to a world of learned interlocutors and richly furnished salons. Both women are pushing against the walls of a prison that would have seen them living a life of mystery, ignorance and submission. They are afloat on the great sea of opportunities that opened up during the nineteen-seventies. Yet they are still very much bound to see each other by a strong, unbreakable bond.]]></description><link>https://austin.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S67C1050854</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://austin.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S67C1050854</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ferrante, Elena]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2014 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://austin.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1050854067</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781609452339/MC.GIF&amp;client=austinpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Story of the Lost Child]]></title><description><![CDATA[The brilliant, bookish Elena and the fiery uncontainable Lila have made life's great discoveries, its vagaries and losses have been suffered.

Routine chores overwhelm her; she neglects her appearance and forgets her manners; she throws herself at the older musician downstairs; she sees the poverella's ghost.

Collected here for the first time are the seeds of future novels, the timely reflections of this internationally beloved storyteller, the abiding preoccupations of a writer.

"This is my last column, after a year that has scared and inspired me … I have written as an author of novels, taking on matters that are important to me and that-if I have the will and the time-I'd like to develop within real narrative mechanisms."

With these words, Elena Ferrante bid farewell to her year-long collaboration with the Guardian newspaper. For a full year, she wrote weekly articles, the subjects of which had been suggested by Guardian editors, making the writing process a sort of prolonged interlocution. The subjects ranged from first love to climate change, from enmity among women to the experience of seeing her novels adapted for film and TV.

Translated by Ann Goldstein, the acclaimed translator of Ferrante's novels, this volume is a must for all curious readers.]]></description><link>https://austin.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C12735585</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://austin.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C12735585</guid><category><![CDATA[EAUDIOBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ferrante, Elena]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://austin.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/12735585981</comments><format>EAUDIOBOOK</format><subtitle/><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781094136844/MC.GIF&amp;client=austinpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Lying Life of Adults]]></title><description><![CDATA[Giovanna's pretty face is changing, turning ugly, at least so her father thinks. Giovanna, he says, looks more like her Aunt Vittoria every day. But, can it be true? Is she really changing? Is she turning into her Aunt Vittoria, a woman she hardly knows but whom her mother and father clearly despise? Surely, there is a mirror somewhere in which she can see herself as she truly is. Giovanna is searching for her reflection in two kindred cities that fear and detest one another: Naples of the heights, which assumes a mask of refinement, and Naples of the depths, a place of excess and vulgarity. She moves from one to the other in search of the truth, but neither city seems to offer answers or escape.

Named one of 2016's most influential people by TIME Magazine and frequently touted as a future Nobel Prize-winner, Elena Ferrante has become one of the world's most read and beloved writers. With this new novel about the transition from childhood to adolescence to adulthood, Ferrante proves once again that she deserves her many accolades, she proves once again that she deserves her many accolades. In The Lying Life of Adults, readers will discover another gripping, highly addictive, and totally unforgettable Neapolitan story.]]></description><link>https://austin.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C13498930</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://austin.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S981C13498930</guid><category><![CDATA[EBOOK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ferrante, Elena]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 31 Jan 2020 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://austin.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/13498930981</comments><format>EBOOK</format><subtitle/><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781609455927/MC.GIF&amp;client=austinpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[La frantumaglia]]></title><description><![CDATA[Collection of letters, writings, interviews and literary texts.]]></description><link>https://austin.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S67C2130052</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://austin.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S67C2130052</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[spa]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ferrante, Elena]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 2017 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://austin.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2130052067</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>una viaje por la escritura</subtitle><language>spa</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9786073161800/MC.GIF&amp;client=austinpl&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Crónicas del desamor]]></title><description><![CDATA[Las tres piezas tienen como protagonista a una mujer, y las tres indagan en el dolor femenino con mano firme, sin concesiones al sentimentalismo, poniendo al descubierto con frialdad eso que a menudo las mujeres sienten y piensan, sin atreverse a contarlo.

Readers of Elena Ferrante's The Lost Daughter may recall the little doll-lost or stolen-around which that novel revolves. Here, Ferrante retells the tale from the doll's perspective.

Celina is having a terrible night, one full of jealousy for the new kitten, Min; feelings of abandonment and sadness; misadventures at the hands of the beach attendant; and dark dreams.
