About this item

Uno de los mejores libros del Siglo XXI según el New York Times La historia de cómo una mujer debe reencontrarse a sí misma después de que la separación de su marido suponga el desmoronamiento de todo su mundo. Una joya de la literatura contemporánea de la gran Elena Ferrante. «Un mediodía de abril, justo después de comer, mi marido me anunció que quería dejarme. Lo dijo mientras quitábamos la mesa...» Todo cambia en la vida de Olga cuando, después de quince años de matrimonio, Mario la abandona por una jovencita. Sola con sus dos hijos, el mundo en apariencia perfecto de la mujer se desmorona. Atrapada entre las cuatro pareces del piso que antes llamaba hogar, Olga no duerme, no come y casi no se reconoce: quien está al otro lado del espejo cuando se mira por la mañana es una mujer que ha perdido todos sus atributos y tendrá que buscar otras palabras que la definan y le permitan seguir adelante. Leyendo Los días del abandono nos convertimos en testigos de una caída libre hacia la desolación, un lugar donde ya nada tiene sentido, pero como en todos los buenos libros, también en este «thriller del alma» cabe la sorpresa, y el abandono puede abrir puertas que antes eran muros. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION One of the New York Times’s 100 Best Books of the 21st Century From the author of My Brilliant Friend. "She is among the greatest Italian authors of recent years."-Corriere della Sera "Ferrante dissects the personal microcosm so well, and with awesome lucidity and precision shows us the meanderings of a woman's mind, the suffering that accompanies being abandoned, and the awful rumbling of time passing."-El Mundo "Elena Ferrante has given us a startlingly beautiful novel of exceptional and bold strength."-Il Manifesto "Severe and rigorously unsentimental, packed full of passages written with dizzying intensity at a rare and acute pitch. Ferrante is at her best when her writing holds tight to those nagging, niggling obsessions that make up our mental landscapes."-La Stampa A national bestseller for almost an entire year, The Days of Abandonment shocked and captivated its Italian public when first published. It is the gripping story of a woman's descent into devastating emptiness after being abandoned by her husband with two young children to care for. When she finds herself literally trapped within the four walls of their high-rise apartment, she is forced to confront her ghosts, the potential loss of her own identity, and the possibility that life may never return to normal.
