Review: The most immersive read I have experienced in a longtime - I don't like giving 5 stars for a book because perfection should be a special thing in literature but I found this series exceptional. There is so much to admire, it is well constructed into short chapters with each one seemingly ending on a mini cliff hanger making it very hard to put down. It is a work of amazing scope; a saga of the children of several families that grew up in a rough neighbourhood of Naples, starting from the 1950s to present day. I feel there is a small part of Naples I now know well and have a deep understanding of its post war history. Although the books centre very much on two characters its real quality I found came from its near clinical examination of class connections, and with such a rich cast of characters there are many connections to examine. Why do some kids grow up to be fascist, others gangsters, others communists etc. And what happens when someone gets out of the ghetto and joins an intellectual elite? Are they ever really accepted? What happens when privileged radicals become comrades to working class activists? In practice how different are the fascists, the red brigades, the gangsters, the capitalists, and the politicians? Some readers may find it over long and slow or be confused by the sheer number of characters. However I think Ferrante keeps the pace going by varying the tempo, after a long descriptive passage the plot accelerates. The big cast is managed really well; there are constant reminders of the all important familial connections and flashbacks to key events, in similar books I have often got overwhelmed by so many characters but not here. A truly great series, I feel it will be a long time till I am next so inspired. According to female reviews she gets the inner female voice right, I wouldn't know, but if she does I am now a bit better educated. Review: What a fabulous read - I loveElena Ferrante's books, as she's such a close observer of human behaviour. Her books aren't full of excitement but carefully told stories about human dilemmas. The Neopolitan Quartet is her most famous and best loved work I think that was also made into a TV series which retold the tale of two close friends over many years. It's good to the last drop and draws you into its Neopolitan characters and the poor Naples environment where most of it takes place. It was so good that, for a little while afterwards I was at a loss as to what to do with my evenings and I didn't want to let go of the characters. This edition was reasonably priced and is a good edition. I can only say, "if you haven't read these books - read them"! ## Features - Neapolitan novels series elena ferrante collection 4 books bundle (my brilliant friend, the story of a new name, those who leave and those who stay, story of the lost child) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 528 Reviews | ## Images ![Neapolitan Novels Series Elena Ferrante Collection 4 Books Bundle (My Brilliant Friend, The Story of a New Name, Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay, Story of the Lost Child) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71NHsvN3S3L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The most immersive read I have experienced in a longtime *by R***. on 28 September 2023* I don't like giving 5 stars for a book because perfection should be a special thing in literature but I found this series exceptional.

I can only say, "if you haven't read these books - read them"! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful evocation of female friendship. *by P***S on 26 February 2025* Unremittingly brilliant books defining the multi- layered complexities of the female friendship between Elena and Lina - the brilliant friend. Its all here, love, compasssion, anger, lying, betrayal. The friendship is set against the violent male misogyny which saturates post war Naples and later the political violence in Italy from the late 1960s. This is a book that stays with you. If possible do try to watch the superb TV adaptation on Sky Atlantic. ## Frequently Bought Together - Neapolitan Novels Series Elena Ferrante Collection 4 Books Bundle (My Brilliant Friend, The Story of a New Name, Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay, Story of the Lost Child) - The Lying Life of Adults: A Novel - The Days of Abandonment: A Novel --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.gr/products/66646059-neapolitan-novels-series-elena-ferrante-collection-4-books-bundle-my](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/66646059-neapolitan-novels-series-elena-ferrante-collection-4-books-bundle-my) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-08-04*
