Beschreibung

<p>Immortalised by Audrey Hepburn's sparkling performance in the 1961 film of the same name, <i>Breakfast at Tiffany's </i>is Truman Capote's timeless portrait of tragicomic cultural icon Holly Golightly, published in Penguin Modern Classics.<br><br>It's New York in the 1940s, where the martinis flow from cocktail hour till breakfast at Tiffany's. And nice girls don't, except, of course, for Holly Golightly: glittering socialite traveller, generally upwards, sometimes sideways and once in a while - down. Pursued by to Salvatore 'Sally' Tomato, the Mafia sugar-daddy doing life in Sing Sing and 'Rusty' Trawler, the blue-chinned, cuff-shooting millionaire man about women about town, Holly is a fragile eyeful of tawny hair and turned-up nose, a heart-breaker, a perplexer, a traveller, a tease. She is irrepressibly 'top banana in the shock deparment', and one of the shining flowers of American fiction.<br><br>This edition also contains three stories: 'House of Flowers', 'A Diamond Guitar' and 'A Christmas Memory'.<br><br>Truman Capote (1924-84) was born in New Orleans. He left school when he was fifteen and subsequently worked for <i>The New Yorker</i>, which provided his first - and last - regular job. He wrote both fiction and non-fiction - short stories, novels and novellas, travel writing, profiles, reportage, memoirs, plays and films; his other works include <i>In Cold Blood</i> (1965), <i>Music for Chameleons </i>(1980) and <i>Answered Prayers </i>(1986), all of which are published in Penguin Modern Classics.<br><br>If you enjoyed <i>Breakfast at Tiffany's</i>, you might like Capote's <i>In Cold Blood</i>, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.<br><br>'One of the twentieth century's most gorgeously romantic fictions'<br><i>Daily Telegraph</i><br><br>'The most perfect writer of my generation ... I would not have changed two words of <i>Breakfast at Tiffany's</i>'<br>Norman Mailer</p>
