Summary:
"¿Quién es el inquietante y escurridizo Tom Ripley? Apareció por primera vez en El talento de Mr. Ripley. Al comienzo de la novela, era un tímido joven neoyorquino. Hasta que un millonario le pidió que convenciera a su hijo de que volviera a casa. Y, al final del libro, Tom Ripley ya era un hombre muy seguro de sí mismo, establecido en Europa, y con un nuevo interés, la pintura, aunque esta feliz transformación se sostuviera en dos asesinatos, en falsificaciones y mentiras. Veinte años después, Patricia Highsmith hizo reaparecer a su antihéroe en La máscara de Ripley: casado con una rica heredera, ahora es un hombre aparentemente respetable. Ripley regresará en otras tres novelas: en El amigo americano, involucrado una vez más en una de sus ambiguas relaciones con otro hombre; en Tras los pasos de Ripley, donde conoce a un extraño adolescente que no quiere separarse de él; y en Ripley en peligro, el brillante cierre de este quinteto de novelas magistrales, donde los insufribles Pritchard parecen conocer algunos de los secretos oscuros de Ripley, y están dispuestos a usarlos. En este primer tomo reunimos las novelas El talento de Mr. Ripley y La máscara de Ripley."--Publisher's description.
"Who is the creepy and elusive Tom Ripley? He first appeared in The Talented Mr. Ripley. At the beginning of the novel, he was a shy young New Yorker. Until a millionaire asked him to convince his son to return to And, by the end of the book, Tom Ripley was already a very self-confident man, settled in Europe, and with a new interest, painting, although this happy transformation was sustained in two murders, in forgeries and lies. Twenty Years later, Patricia Highsmith made her antihero reappear in Ripley's Mask: married to a wealthy heiress, he is now a seemingly respectable man. Ripley will return in three more novels: in The American Friend, once again involved in one of his ambiguous relationships with another man; in In the footsteps of Ripley, where he meets a strange teenager who does not want to be separated from him; and in Ripley in danger, the brilliant closing of this quintet of master novels, where the ins Fribles Pritchard seem to know some of Ripley's dark secrets, and are willing to use them. In this first volume we bring together the novels The Talent of Mr. Ripley and The Mask of Ripley. "- Publisher's description.
