Synopsis

Una brillante retrato de las ataduras de la maternidad. Una joya de la literatura contemporánea de la gran Elena Ferrante.

A menudo, un gran viaje hacia nuestra parte más oscura empieza con un gesto sin sentido.
Leda es una profesora de literatura inglesa, divorciada hace mucho tiempo, dedicada a sus hijas y al trabajo. Cuando ellas se trasladan a vivir con el padre, en vez de vivir la nostalgia y la soledad que esperaba, Leda de repente se siente liberada y decide tomarse unas vacaciones en un pequeño pueblo de la costa. Pero los días de calma aparente se acaban cuando vemos a esta mujer de mediana edad y mucho criterio huyendo de la playa con una muñeca en brazos.

Página a página, un agradable descanso a la orilla del mar se convierte en el retrato de una mujer terca y sola, asaltada por unas preguntas que la llevan a arriesgarlo todo. En La hija oscura, la novela más querida por Elena Ferrante, la locura anda de la mano de la lucidez absoluta: nada sobra cuando un gesto sin sentido nos acerca a la gran literatura.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

From the author of My Brilliant Friend

Leda is a middle-aged divorcée devoted to her work as an English teacher and to her two children. When her daughters leave home to be with their father in Canada, Leda anticipates a period of loneliness and longing. Instead, slightly embarassed by the sensation, she feels liberated, as if her life has become lighter, easier. She decides to take a holiday by the sea, in a small coastal town in southern Italy. But after a few days of calm and quiet, things begin to take a menacing turn. Leda encounters a family whose brash presence proves unsettling, at times even threatening. When a small, seemingly meaningless, event occurs, Leda is overwhelmed by memories of the difficult and unconventional choices she made as a mother and their consequences for herself and her family. The apparently serene tale of a woman's pleasant rediscovery of herself soon becomes the story of a ferocious confrontation with an unsettled past.

Following the extraordinary success of The Days of Abandonment, Elena Ferrante's standalone novel The Lost Daughter candidly explores the conflicting emotions that tie us to our children.

About the Author

Nadie sabe quién es Elena Ferrante, y sus editores de origen procuran mantener un silencio absoluto sobre su identidad. Alguien ha llegado a sospechar que sea un hombre; otros dicen que nació en Nápoles para trasladarse luego a Grecia y finalmente a Turín.
La mayoría de críticos la saludan como la nueva Elsa Morante, una voz extraordinaria que ha dado un vuelco a la narrativa de los últimos años. El éxito de crítica y de público se refleja en artículos publicados por periódicos y revistas tan notables como The New York Times y Paris Review.

En 2010 Lumen publicó un volumen titulado Crónicas del desamor, donde se reunían las tres novelas para el público adulto publicadas por Ferrante a lo largo de los años, dos de las cuales fueron llevadas al cine. Luego vino esta saga compuesta por La amiga estupendaUn mal nombreLas deudas del cuerpo, y finalmente La niña perdida, un cuarto volumen que cierra una obra destinada a convertirse en un clásico de la literatura europea del siglo XXI.
«No me arrepiento de mi anonimato. Descubrir la personalidad de quien escribe a través de las historias que propone, de sus personajes, de los objetos y paisajes que describe, del tono de su escritura, no es ni más ni menos que un buen modo de leer.»
Elena Ferrante en una entrevista via mail de Paolo di Stefano para Il Corriere della Sera.
