Reviews
"A large, captivating, amiably peopled bildungsroman."--James Wood, The New Yorker "One of modern fiction's richest portraits of a friendship."--John Powers, NPR's Fresh Air "Elena Ferrante is one of the great novelists of our time."--Roxana Robinson, The New York Times Book Review "Compelling, visceral and immediate...The Neapolitan novels are a tour de force."--Jennifer Gilmore, The Los Angeles Times "It took my breath away...so honest and right and opens up heart to so much."--Elizabeth Strout, writer "The Neapolitan novel cycle is an unconditional masterpiece."--Jhumpa Lahiri, writer "Everyone should read anything with Ferrante's name on it."--Eugenia Williamson, The Boston Globe "Ferrante's own writing has no limits, is willing to take every thought forward to its most radical conclusion and backwards to its most radical birthing."--The New Yorker "One of the more nuanced portraits of feminine friendship in recent memory."--Megan O'Grady, Vogue "It's just hypnotic. I could not stop reading it or thinking about it."--Hillary Clinton "Ferrante tackles girlhood and friendship with amazing force."--Gwyneth Paltrow, actor "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."--Joanna Biggs, The London Review of Books "Ferrante has written about female identity with a heft and sharpness unmatched by anyone since Doris Lessing."--Elizabeth Lowry, The Wall Street Journal "No one has a voice quite like Ferrante's. Her gritty, ruthlessly frank novels roar off the page with a barbed fury, like an attack that is also a defense...Imagine if Jane Austen got angry and you'll have some idea of how explosive these works are."--John Freeman, writer "When I read the Neapolitan novels I find that I never want to stop."--Molly Fischer, The New Yorker "Dazzling...stunning...an extraordinary epic."--Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times "Spectacular."--Maureen Corrigan, NPR's Fresh Air "What words do you save? Here's your chance to bring them out, like the silver for the wedding of the first-born: genius, tour de force, masterpiece. They apply to the work of Elena Ferrante...her magnificent Neapolitan quartet seems to me to be the greatest achievement in fiction of the post-war era."--Charles Finch, The Chicago Tribune "We are dealing with masterpieces here, old-fashioned classics, filled with passion and pathos...The sheer power of her books is a challenge to the chilly, dour craftsmanship of too many 21st century literary novels."--Joe Klein, TIME Magazine "The saga is both comfortingly traditional and radically fresh, it gives readers not just what they want, but something more than they didn't know they craved...through this fusion of high and low art, Ms. Ferrante emerges as a 21st-century Dickens."--The Economist "Ferrante's accomplishment in these novels is to extract an enduring masterpiece from dissolving margins, from the commingling of self and other, creator and created, new and old, real and whatever the opposite of real may be...Ferrante's voice is very much her own, but its force is communal."--Judith Shulevitz, The Atlantic "Ferrante adumbrates the mysterious beauty and brutality of personal experience."--Rachel Cusk, The New York Times Book Review "Ferrante's Neapolitan Quartet is the first genuine literary classic of the 21st century."--The Huffington Post, Praise for The Neapolitan Novels "Ferrante's Naples Quartet is anything but theater. It is the first genuine literary classic of the 21st century."-- The Huffington Post "One of modern fiction's richest portraits of a friendship."--John Powers, Fresh Air, NPR "The Neapolitan Novels tell a single story with the possessive force of an origin myth." --Megan O'Grady, Vogue "Elena Ferrante is one of the great novelists of our time...This is a new version of the way we live now - one we need, one told brilliantly, by a woman." --Roxana Robinson, The New York Times Book Review "A strong sense of chiaroscuro characterises the tetralogy: the thuggish violence of the Neapolitan stradone, the political activism of the "years of lead", the corruption at every level of society."--Jane Shilling The Evening Standard (UK)

Synopsis
HBO series premiere October 2018 Elena Ferrante's masterpiece, the Neapolitan Novels, available as a beautiful boxed set. "Nothing quite like this has ever been published before," proclaimed The Guardian about the Neapolitan Novels in 2014. Against the backdrop of a Naples that is as seductive as it is perilous and a world undergoing epochal change, Elena Ferrante tells the story of a sixty-year friendship between the brilliant and bookish Elena and the fiery, rebellious Lila with unmatched honesty and brilliance. The four books in this novel cycle constitute a long, remarkable story, one that Vogue described as "gutsy and compulsively readable," which readers will return to again and again, and each return will bring with it new revelations., The complete four-volume boxed set of the New York Times -bestselling saga, including the New York Times #1 Best Book of the Century, My Brilliant Friend . Beginning with My Brilliant Friend , the four Neapolitan Novels by Elena Ferrante follow Elena and Lila, from their rough-edged upbringing in Naples, Italy, not long after WWII, through the many stages of their lives--and along paths that diverge wildly. Sometimes they are separated by jealousy or hostility or physical distance, but the bond between them is unbreakable, for better or for worse. This volume includes all four novels: My Brilliant Friend ; The Story of a New Name ; Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay ; and The Story of the Lost Child . "Imagine if Jane Austen got angry and you'll have some idea of how explosive these works are."-- The Australian "Nothing you read about Elena Ferrante's work prepares you for the ferocity of it."-- The New York Times "An enduring masterpiece."-- The Atlantic, The complete four-volume boxed set of the New York Times-bestselling saga, including the New York Times #1 Best Book of the Century, My Brilliant Friend.
