Neapolitan Novels (series)
The Neapolitan Novels is a 4-part series by the Italian novelist Elena Ferrante, translated by Ann Goldstein and published by ''Europa Editions'' (New York). They include the texts: ''My Brilliant Friend,'' ''The Story of a New Name'' (2013), ''Those Who Leave And Those Who Stay'' (2014), and ''The Story of the Lost Child'' (release September, 2015). The series has been characterized as a bildungsroman, or coming-of-age story. In an interview for the ''Harper's Magazine'', Elena Ferrante stated that she considers the four books to be ""a single novel", published serially for reasons of length and duration.〔Jenny Turner, "(The Secret Sharer. Elena Ferrante's existential fiction )", ''Harper's Magazine'', October 2014.〕
The series follows the lives of two perceptive and intelligent girls, Elena (sometimes called “Lenù”) Greco and Raffaella (“Lila”) Cerullo, from childhood to adulthood as they try to create lives for themselves amidst the violent and stultifying culture of their home– a poor neighborhood on the outskirts of Naples, Italy. The novels are narrated by Elena Greco.
