Ripley is back. This new publication of Patricia Highsmith's classic inaugurates the complete Ripley series at Norton. 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 —immortalized in the 1998 film starring Matt Damon, Jude Law, and Gywneth Paltrow—is an unforgettable introduction to this debonair confidence man, whose talent for self-invention and calculated murder is chronicled in four subsequent novels.

用户评价

阅读这本书的过程，与其说是在读一个故事，不如说是在经历一场心理的探险。作者以其独特的叙事方式，成功地将我卷入了一个充满悬念和欺骗的世界。从一开始，我就被主人公那种近乎完美的伪装所吸引，但随着故事的展开，我开始察觉到那层光鲜外表下的裂痕，以及隐藏在平静表面下的暗流。让我印象深刻的是，作者并没有急于给出答案，而是让读者随着主人公的视角，一步步地去探索，去感受，去质疑。每一个角色的塑造都极具深度，他们并非简单的符号，而是拥有复杂动机和内心情感的个体。我常常在阅读时，会不由自主地去思考，如果是自己，会如何做出选择，又会在怎样的境遇下屈服。这种代入感，使得阅读体验更加深刻和持久。书中所描绘的那个充满魅力的世界，与主人公的扭曲内心形成了鲜明的对比，这种反差感，让整个故事充满了张力。

当我合上这本书，心中涌起的复杂情感难以言表。它不仅仅是一个关于欺骗和谎言的故事，更是一次对身份认同、社会阶层以及人性弱点的深刻剖析。作者用一种冷静而疏离的笔调，描绘了一个个活生生的人物，他们或光鲜亮丽，或深藏不露，每个人都有自己的欲望和秘密。我尤其被故事中的那种氛围所吸引，那种表面上的优雅与奢华，背后却暗流涌动，危机四伏。每一个场景的切换，都像是一次巧妙的布局，将读者带入一个新的情境，同时又埋下了新的伏笔。我曾经试图去预测故事的走向，但每一次的推断，似乎都被作者精妙的反转所打破。这种智力上的博弈，让我对作者的叙事技巧佩服不已。更重要的是，这本书引发了我对自身和周围世界的思考，关于我们所追求的东西，关于我们所扮演的角色，以及在面对诱惑时，我们内心的真实选择。

这本书，在我翻开扉页的那一刻，就如同踏入了一场精心编织的迷局，让我几乎无法自拔。作者的文字功底深厚，笔触细腻得如同雕刻，将人物的内心世界和所处的环境刻画得淋漓尽致。一开始，我以为这仅仅是一个关于梦想与现实的碰撞，关于年轻人在异国他乡的探索，然而，随着故事的深入，一种难以言喻的张力开始在我胸中涌动。那种对美好生活的向往，对他人拥有之物的贪婪，以及那种近乎癫狂的模仿和占据，被描绘得如此真实，以至于我常常在阅读时感到一种莫名的压抑和不安。我尝试去理解那个主人公的动机，去探寻他内心深处的空虚和对身份的渴望，这种挣扎本身就极具戏剧性。环境的描写也恰到好处，地中海的阳光、海风、古老的建筑，都为故事增添了一抹浪漫而又危险的底色，仿佛一切的美好之下都隐藏着不为人知的阴谋。我一直在思考，是什么让一个人如此彻底地迷失自我，又是什么样的执念能够驱使他走向极端？每一次翻页，都像是走入一个更深的迷宫，我被卷入其中，既害怕真相的揭露，又忍不住想要一探究竟。

这是一次与人性幽暗角落的深度对话，读来让人心惊胆颤，却又忍不住想要继续探寻。故事的推进方式非常巧妙，它并非一股脑地将所有信息倾倒给读者，而是如同抽丝剥茧一般，一点点地揭示出人物的真实面貌和事件的真相。每一次的转折都来得恰到好处，既在意料之外，又在情理之中，让我在阅读过程中，不断地推翻自己的猜测，又形成新的假说。作者对于细节的捕捉极为敏锐，无论是人物的微表情，还是场景的细微变化，都可能成为解开谜团的关键线索。我时常会停下来，反复咀嚼某一段话，去揣摩作者的意图，去感受人物的情绪波动。这种沉浸式的阅读体验，让我感觉自己仿佛置身于故事之中，与主角一同经历着这场惊心动魄的冒险。最令人着迷的是，故事并没有简单地将主人公定义为一个纯粹的恶棍，而是展现了他复杂多面的性格，以及在某些时刻流露出的脆弱和挣扎，这使得人物形象更加立体，也更具讨论价值。

这本书给我带来的冲击，远不止于一个精彩绝伦的故事。它更像是一面镜子，映照出人性中最隐秘、最复杂的一面。作者的叙事手法极为高超，他能够不动声色地营造出一种紧张而又引人入胜的氛围，让我在阅读时，既感到一种难以言喻的兴奋，又隐隐透着不安。我特别欣赏作者对于人物内心世界的刻画，那种对欲望、野心和身份认同的细腻描摹，让我觉得那些人物仿佛就生活在我们身边。故事的结构设计也非常巧妙，每一个转折都经过精心安排，既能出乎意料，又在逻辑上说得通，这极大地增加了故事的可读性和吸引力。在阅读的过程中，我曾多次停下来，去思考主人公的行为动机，去揣测他的下一步计划，这种与作者和主人公共同进行猜谜游戏的过程，无疑是阅读最大的乐趣之一。这本书让我对人性的复杂性有了更深的理解，也让我对“自我”这个概念进行了深刻的反思。

还是觉得电影带感一点儿

he just keeps on killing people XD.

I haven't seen the movie yet, but the book is a bore. Nothing's extraordinary except Ripley's complicated gay feelings, which is fun to reflect upon. No meticulous plans, no smart improvisations, only shoddy excuses with massive amount of dumb luck. The crimes are one joke after another, flouting common stupidity right in the face.
