Omschrijving
Bringing together classic books with gorgeous artwork, this is the ultimate gift for design and literature lovers alike
The Italian coastal scenes, beautiful cast and sense of summer languor that disguises evil impulses make this a disturbing but gorgeous read
An outstanding thriller which has deservedly become a classic
I love that [Highsmith] makes this sociopath so completely charming that you're rooting for him
Ripley - amoral, hedonistic and charming - is a genuinely original creation. It is hard to imagine anyone interested in modern fiction who has not read the Ripley novels
I'm a huge Highsmith fan. If there's one book I wish I'd written, it's The Talented Mr Ripley
As haunting and harrowing a study of a schizophrenic murder as paper will bear. A glittering addition to the meagre ranks of people who make books that you really can't put down
I love [Highsmith] so much . . . what a revelation her writing was
Its story of a social-climbing con-man is more pertinent than ever
Precisely plotted, stylishly written and kept alert by an icy wit. Streets ahead of the conventional thriller: a cool little classic of its kind
An outstanding thriller which has deservedly become a classic
Patricia Highsmith (1921-1995) was born in Fort Worth, Texas, and moved to New York when she was six. In her senior year, she edited the college magazine, having decided at the age of sixteen to become a writer. Her first novel, Strangers on a Train (1950), was made into a classic film by Alfred Hitchcock in 1951. The Talented Mr Ripley (1955), introduced the fascinating anti-hero Tom Ripley, and was made into an Oscar-winning film in 1999 by Anthony Minghella. Highsmith died in Locarno, Switzerland, in February 1995. Her last novel, Small g: A Summer Idyll, was published posthumously, the same year.
