overview
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.
