“我希望她在场，这是我写作的目的。”
《我的天才女友》《新名字的故事》 后续，
意大利最神秘的作家费兰特（Elena Ferrante）

《离开的，留下的》 是埃莱娜·费兰特的“那不勒斯四部曲”的第三部，聚焦“我”（埃莱娜）和莉拉躁动、紧密相依的中年。
“我”在未婚夫彼得罗一家人的帮助下，出版了第一本小说，享受着成功的喜悦，而留在那不勒斯的莉拉却身陷贫困而卑贱的工厂生活。“我”像个骑士一样，再度介入莉拉的生活，并动用丈夫一家人的关系，让莉拉和恩佐的生活有了转机——他们成了那不勒斯地区最早学习、掌握计算机技术的人，他们顽强、坚韧的学习能力让他们开始积累了巨大的财富。
我和莉拉之间再次胜负难辨。婚后的“我”开始面临自己的创作危机，而平静的、中产阶级式的婚姻也令“我”疲惫不堪。对社会变革颇为冷淡的彼得罗希望“我”放弃作家的身份，而“我”在扮演“母亲”、“妻子”这些角色时，总是避免不了内心的分裂、紧张。
莉拉对“我”的新作品的指责更是让我产生彻底的自我怀疑：我接受的教育和拥有的知识是否只是让我的作品徒有其表，没有真正的思想，也永远无法拥有莉拉近乎粗野的表达中那些令人不安的真相。直到有一天，“我”丈夫突然将尼诺带回了家……

The Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Peter the Great, Nicholas and Alexandra, and The Romanovs returns with another masterpiece of narrative biography, the extraordinary story of an obscure young German princess who traveled to Russia at fourteen and rose to become one of the most remarkable, powerful, and captivating women in history.
Born into a minor noble family, Catherine transformed herself into Empress of Russia by sheer determination. Possessing a brilliant mind and an insatiable curiosity as a young woman, she devoured the works of Enlightenment philosophers and, when she reached the throne, attempted to use their principles to guide her rule of the vast and backward Russian empire. She knew or corresponded with the preeminent historical figures of her time: Voltaire, Diderot, Frederick the Great, Empress Maria Theresa of Austria, Marie Antoinette, and, surprisingly, the American naval hero, John Paul Jones.
Reaching the throne fired by Enlightenment philosophy and determined to become the embodiment of the “benevolent despot” idealized by Montesquieu, she found herself always contending with the deeply ingrained realities of Russian life, including serfdom. She persevered, and for thirty-four years the government, foreign policy, cultural development, and welfare of the Russian people were in her hands. She dealt with domestic rebellion, foreign wars, and the tidal wave of political change and violence churned up by the French Revolution that swept across Europe. Her reputation depended entirely on the perspective of the speaker. She was praised by Voltaire as the equal of the greatest of classical philosophers; she was condemned by her enemies, mostly foreign, as “the Messalina of the north.”
Catherine’s family, friends, ministers, generals, lovers, and enemies—all are here, vividly described. These included her ambitious, perpetually scheming mother; her weak, bullying husband, Peter (who left her lying untouched beside him for nine years after their marriage); her unhappy son and heir, Paul; her beloved grandchildren; and her “favorites”—the parade of young men from whom she sought companionship and the recapture of youth as well as sex. Here, too, is the giant figure of Gregory Potemkin, her most significant lover and possible husband, with whom she shared a passionate correspondence of love and separation, followed by seventeen years of unparalleled mutual achievement.
The story is superbly told. All the special qualities that Robert K. Massie brought to Nicholas and Alexandra and Peter the Great are present here: historical accuracy, depth of understanding, felicity of style, mastery of detail, ability to shatter myth, and a rare genius for finding and expressing the human drama in extraordinary lives.
History offers few stories richer in drama than that of Catherine the Great. In this book, this eternally fascinating woman is returned to life.
