Talented Mr. Ripley. Haismit P.

Having arrived in New York, Tom Ripley was full of ambitious plans: to become a famous actor, to become ill, to get rich... But reality is much more prosaic. Into -interrupting random earnings and suffering from a sense of own worthlessness, Mr. Ripley cannot even stay in the department store as an accountant. But suddenly he receives an unexpected offer - to go to Italy and persuade his good acquaintance Dicky Greenlif, the son of one wealthy businessman, to return home to America.

A meeting with Dicky, a careless beam of fate, a chosen one for whom he was on earth is a chance to start with a clean sheet. However, very soon the hopes of Mr. Ripley turn to dust. The world again rejects him with the usual negligence. And Ripley understands: he remains either to die or become another person - Richard Greenlif.
