Breakfast at Tiffany's: Reclam Universal-Bibliothek, cartea 14129

Autor Truman Capote Editat de Herbert Geisen
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 ian 2022
Immortalised by Audrey Hepburn's sparkling performance in the 1961 film of the same name,Breakfast at Tiffany'sis Truman Capote's timeless portrait of tragicomic cultural icon Holly Golightly, published in Penguin Modern Classics.
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.
This edition also contains three stories: 'House of Flowers', 'A Diamond Guitar' and 'A Christmas Memory'.
Truman Capote (1924-84) was born in New Orleans. He left school when he was fifteen and subsequently worked forThe New Yorker, 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 includeIn Cold Blood(1965),Music for Chameleons(1980) andAnswered Prayers(1986), all of which are published in Penguin Modern Classics.

Notă biografică

Truman Capote wurde am 30. September 1924 als Truman Streckfus Persons in New Orleans geboren und starb am 25. August 1984 in Los Angeles. Er war ein US-amerikanischer Schriftsteller, Schauspieler und Drehbuchautor.

Capote wuchs nach der Scheidung seiner Eltern hauptsächlich bei seiner Großmutter in Alabama auf. Nach der erneuten Heirat der Mutter zog er mit der Familie nach New York, wo er sich für das Theater begeisterte und über Bekanntschaften Mitglied der High Society wurde. Im Alter von achtzehn Jahren arbeitete Capote als Redaktionsgehilfe für das Magazin "The New Yorker". 1945 gelang ihm der literarische Durchbruch, als verschiedene Zeitschriften seine Erzählungen veröffentlichten.

Sein Romandebüt "Other Voices, Other Rooms" wurde 1948 als literarische Sensation gehandelt. Zur selben Zeit beendete Capote eine Affäre mit einem über zwanzig Jahre älteren Literaturprofessor und begann ein langjährige Beziehung mit dem Schriftsteller Jack Dunphy.

Während seiner Zeit in Europa in den 1950er Jahren schrieb Capote an Drehbüchern, Musicals und Reisebeschreibungen. Welterfolge landete er 1958 mit den Romanen "Breakfast at Tiffany's" sowie 1966 "Kaltblütig", deren Verfilmungen zu Klassikern der Filmgeschichte wurden. Dem Höhenflug folgte eine schwere Krise mit Drogen und Affären, und dem Ausschluss aus der New Yorker Gesellschaft, nachdem er deren persönlichste Geheimnisse veröffentlicht hatte.

Truman Capote starb am 25. August 1984 einsam in Los Angeles im Haus einer Bekannten, die seine Asche 2016 versteigerte.

Recenzii

“Truman Capote is the most perfect writer of my generation. He writes the best sentences word for word, rhythm upon rhythm.”—Norman Mailer

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

In this seductive, wistful masterpiece, Truman Capote created a woman whose name has entered the American idiom and whose style is a part of the literary landscape. Holly Golightly knows that nothing bad can ever happen to you at Tiffany's; her poignancy, wit, and naïveté continue to charm.

This volume also includes three of Capote's best-known stories, “House of Flowers,” “A Diamond Guitar,” and “A Christmas Memory,” which the Saturday Review called “one of the most moving stories in our language.” It is a tale of two innocents—a small boy and the old woman who is his best friend—whose sweetness contains a hard, sharp kernel of truth.
