Elena Ferrante

Ungjenta og einebarnet Giovanna får livet snudd på hovudet den dagen ho overhøyrer far sin, som ho elskar så høgt, seie at han synest ho er stygg. Denne vesle augneblinken er starten på den første av mange oppdagingar Giovanna gjer, som får grunnmuren i den trygge heimen til å smuldre. Foreldra er ikkje dei ho trur dei er, og ho lærer på den harde måten kva det vil seie å vere vaksen. Elena Ferrante er ein av vår tids største forfattarar. Med Napoli-kvartetten gjekk ho tett på kvinners liv og vilkår i det 20. hundreåret og skildra vennskap på ein måte som manglar sidestykke i litteraturhistoria. I «Dei vaksnes løgnaktige liv» er handlinga lagd til eit middelklassemiljø i Napoli i 1990-åra. Ferrante legg opp til eit stort og tett familiedrama om oppvekst, identitet og klasse, om seksualitet, utruskap og kunsten å balansere sanning og løgn. FRÅ MELDINGAR: «Nytt mesterverk av Ferrante» Ole Jacob Hoel, Adressa «Ferrante overgår seg selv» Jon Rognlien, Dabladet «Ferrante leverer igjen» Guri Hjeltnes, VG «Ferrante har stålgrep om handverket slik at det glir lett for lesaren. Motstanden ligg i folka på sidene, ikkje i komposisjonen eller omsetjinga.» Vidar Kvalshaug, Bok365 «[Ferrante] har en helt sjelden evne til å fortelle noe menneskelig interessant i en form som suger leseren med seg som i det mest heseblesende actiondrama.» Bjørn Ivar Fyksen, Klassekampen «Magnetisk medrivende» Leif Ekle, NRK «Litterær kløkt og opprørsk glede [...] Historia er høgst levande.» Margunn Vikingstad, Morgenbladet «Få kan som Ferrante skildre skam, fortviling, sinne og begjær - «Dei vaksnes løgnaktige liv» er stinn av dei flauaste, nedrigaste, såraste livserfaringane, og vik aldri unna å setje ord på dei.» Gerd Elin Stava Sandve, Dagsavisen «Oppvakning av dimensjonar i Elena Ferrantes nye roman. [...] Ein kjenner att den språklege råskapen, klarleiken og ordrikdomen frå tidlegare utgjevingar.» Sofie Braut, Sta

OVER 14M OF THE NEAPOLITAN QUARTET SOLD WORLDWIDE “Nothing quite like this has ever been published before.”—The Guardian “This is high stakes, subversive literature.”—The Daily Telegraph “With the publication of her Neapolitan Novels, (Ferrante) has established herself as the foremost writer in Italy—and the world.”—The Sunday Times “An unconditional masterpiece . . . I was totally enthralled.”—Jhumpa Lahiri “An extraordinary epic.”—Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times “To the uninitiated, Elena Ferrante is best described as Balzac meets The Sopranos and rewrites feminist theory.”—The Times “Ferrante’s writing seems to say something that hasn’t been said before, in a way so compelling its readers forget where they are, abandon friends and disdain sleep.”—London Review of Books “Stunning. An intense, forensic exploration of friendship.”—The Times Literary Supplement Set in the late 1960s and the 1970s, Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay continues the story of the feisty and rebellious Lila and her lifelong friend, the brilliant and bookish Elena. Lila, after separating from her husband, is living with her young son in a new neighbourhood of Naples and working at a local factory. Elena has left Naples, earned a degree from an elite college, and published a novel, all of which has opened the doors to a world of learned and fascinating interlocutors. The era, with its dramatic changes in sexual politics and social costumes, with its seemingly limitless number of new possibilities, is rendered with breathtaking vigour. This third Neapolitan Novel is not only a moving story of friendship but also a searing portrait of a rapidly changing world.

Meisterlege artiklar frå Ferrante. Elena Ferrante er ein av dei mest anerkjende og bestseljande forfattarane i vår tid, særleg kjend for Napoli-kvartetten. Ei av verdas største aviser, The Guardian, gav henne eit spanande oppdrag: å skrive ei fast helgespalte gjennom eit heilt år. Her får du tekstane samla. Ferrante skriv personleg og jordnært om røynda vi lever i: om alt frå sitt første kyss til kvinnefellesskap, frå plantevekstar til klimaendringar, frå beundring for ei kjend filmstjerne til redselen for å flytte og om kvinnefrigjering i eit enno mannsdominert samfunn. «Eit år med Elena Ferrante» er ei skarp og vittig bok og eit must for alle Ferrante-fans. «Eg høyrer til den kategorien menneske som ikkje liker seg sjølv, verken på foto eller film. [...] Men for ei tid sidan fann eg igjen eit fotografi av meg sjølv frå då eg var sytten år, og eg likte det så godt at eg fekk ramma det inn. [...] Litt etter litt måtte eg også erkjenne at eg likte det fotografiet nettopp fordi eg ikkje likna det minste på det bildet eg hadde av meg sjølv.» Frå italiensk ved Kristin Sørsdal.

Uutta Ferrantea suomeksi! Elena Ferrante loistaa äiti-tytärsuhteen kuvaajana. Hän rikkoo täydellisen äitiyden myyttiä julman rehellisessä romaanissaan. Leda on eronnut opettaja jonka tyttäret ovat muuttaneet pois kotoa isänsä luokse. Merkitseekö uusi yksinolo huikaisevaa vapautta vai tyhjän pesän ahdistusta? Lomalla muistot omista vaikeista ja epäsovinnaisista valinnoista äitinä alkavat piinata. Pian tarina naisesta, joka viimein saisi olla ahtaista perinteistä vapaa, vaihtuu raivokkaaksi päänsisäiseksi välienselvittelyksi menneisyyden käsittelemättömien asioiden kanssa. Italian merkittävin nykykirjailija, Elena Ferrante, on noussut rakastetulla Napoli-sarjallaan kansainväliseen suurmenestykseen. Ferranten tuotantoa sävyttää vahva henkilökohtaisuuden tuntu ja feministinen ote. Hänestä on sanottu: "Kaikki hänen romaaninsa ovat erilaisia; ne kaikki ovat myös samoja." Napoli-sarjan lisäksi Ferrantelta on suomennettu kolme varhaisempaa, itsenäistä romaania: Hylkäämisen päivät (uusi laitos 2017), esikoisteos Amalian rakkaus (uusi laitos 2019) sekä ennen suomentamaton Tyttären varjo (2020), josta on tekeillä myös elokuva.

Elena Ferrante is the bestselling author of My Brilliant Friend, now an HBO original series. 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 who has been called "one of the great novelists of our time" (New York Times)." 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.

Gathered together for the first time and accompanied by an entirely new introduction written by Elena Ferrante and by Andrea Ucini’s intelligent, witty, and beautiful illustrations, this is a must for all Ferrante fans.
