Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay (The Neapolitan Novels #3)

Elena Ferrante (Ann Goldstein)
Europa Editions • 2014

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 abusive hu...sband and now works as a common laborer. Elena has left the neighborhood, earned her college degree, and published a successful novel, all of which have opened the doors to a world of learned interlocutors and richly furnished salons. Both women have pushed against the walls of a prison that would have seen them living a life of misery, 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 each other by a strong, unbreakable bond.

(s.345). Tretie pokračovanie románu o dvoch priateľkách, ktoré žijú každá na inom spoločenskom brehu. Zatiaľ čo Lina verí v revolučné myšlienky a[...]

Jeden z citátov, ktoré sprevádzajú slovenské vydanie knihy Eleny Ferrante Tí, čo odchádzajú – tí, čo zostávajú z vydavateľstva Inaque, pripomína: „Ak ste nečítali romány Eleny Ferrante, je to akoby ste nečítali Gustava Flauberta v 1856-om... Nesporne geniálne.“
