Ripley Séries

Cette série suit la vie d'un escroc charismatique mais psychopathe qui construit sa vie sur des mensonges et des usurpations d'identité.

    Since his debut in 1955, Tom Ripley has evolved into the ultimate bad boy sociopath, influencing countless novelists and filmmakers. In this first novel, we are introduced to suave, handsome Tom Ripley: a young striver, newly arrived in the heady world of Manhattan in the 1950s. A product of a broken home, branded a "sissy" by his dismissive Aunt Dottie, Ripley becomes enamored of the moneyed world of his new friend, Dickie Greenleaf. This fondness turns obsessive when Ripley is sent to Italy to bring back his libertine pal but grows enraged by Dickie's ambivalent feelings for Marge, a charming American dilettante. A dark reworking of Henry James's The Ambassadors, The Talented Mr. Ripley is an unforgettable introduction to this debonair confidence man, whose talent for self-invention and calculated murder is chronicled in four subsequent novels.

    Dans ce livre s'entremêlent des personnages réels et leurs ombres, à un rythme obsessionnel que Patricia Highsmith rend insupportable. Le suspense est ici - et plus que - jamais - d'une intensité lancinante ; mais le talent de Patricia Highsmith se révèle également dans la minutieuse analyse psychologique de Tom Ripley, personnage ambigu, acharné à survivre et absent de lui-même, solitaire et perpétuellement en quête de son identité, assassin presque malgré lui ou plutôt incapable de retenir ses instincts criminels.
