Europa Editions (UK) Ltd My Brilliant Friend
Book SynopsisOVER 5 MILLION COPIES SOLD IN ENGLISH WORLDWIDE OVER 14 MILLION COPIES OF THE NEAPOLITAN QUARTET SOLD WORLDWIDE GUARDIAN 100 BEST BOOKS OF THE 21st CENTURY From one of Italy’s most acclaimed authors, comes this ravishing and generous-hearted novel about a friendship that lasts a lifetime. The story of Elena and Lila begins in the 1950s in a poor but vibrant neighbourhood on the outskirts of Naples. Growing up on these tough streets the two girls learn to rely on each other ahead of anyone or anything else, as their friendship, beautifully and meticulously rendered, becomes a not always perfect shelter from hardship. Ferrante has created a memorable portrait of two women, but My Brilliant Friend is also the story of a nation. Through the lives of Elena and Lila, Ferrante gives her readers the story of a city and a country undergoing momentous change. “Nothing quite like it has ever been published.”—Guardian “Elena Ferrante has established herself as the foremost writer in Italy—and the world.”—The Sunday Times “This is high stakes, subversive literature.”—The TelegraphTrade Review“Nothing quite like it has ever been published before . . .

An intense, forensic exploration of friendship.” * The TLS *“To the uninitiated, Elena Ferrante is best described as Balzac meets The Sopranos and rewrites feminist theory.” * The Times *“Ferrante’s writing seems to say something that hasn’t been said before, in a way so compelling its readers forget where they are, abandon friends and disdain sleep.” -- Joanna Biggs * LRB *“A modern classic.” * The Times *"Ferrante confronts female sexual awakening with such an absence of romantic enchantment it leaves you gasping." * The Daily Mail *"Elena Ferrante is an expert chronicler of adolescence and its many indignities, as well as its erratic, overwhelming passions." * The Observer *"Ferrante is a hypnotist." * The Spectator *

Wordsworth Editions Ltd Othello
Book SynopsisEdited, Introduced and Annotated by Cedric Watts, M.A., Ph.D., Emeritus Professor of English, University of Sussex. The Wordsworth Classics' Shakespeare Series, with Henry V and The Merchant of Venice as its inaugral volumes, presents a newly-edited sequence of William Shakespeare's works. The textual editing takes account of recent scholarship while giving the material a careful reappraisal. Othello has long been recognised as one of the most powerful of Shakespeare’s tragedies. This is an intense drama of love, deception, jealousy and destruction. Desdemona’s love for Othello, the Moor, transcends racial prejudice; but the envious Iago conspires to devastate their lives. In its vivid rendering of racism, sexism, contested identities, and the savagery lurking within civilisation, Othello is arguably the most topical and accessible tragedy from Shakespeare’s major phase as a dramatist. Productions on stage and screen regularly renew its power to engross, impress and trouble the imagination.
