Breakfast at Tiffany's

En savoir plus sur le livre

‘MISS HOLIDAY GOLIGHTLY, TRAVELLING’ Holly Golightly, glittering socialite traveller, generally upwards, sometimes sideways and once in a while down. She’s up all night drinking cocktails and breaking hearts. She’s a shoplifter, a delight, a drifter, a tease. She hasn’t got a past. She doesn’t want to belong to anything or anyone. Not to ‘Rusty’ Trawler, the blue-chinned, cuff-shooting millionaire man about women about town. Not to Salvatore ‘Sally’ Tomato, the Mafia sugar-daddy doing life in Sing Sing. Not to a starving writer. Not even to her one-eyed rag-bag pirate of a cat. One day Holly might find somewhere she belongs. Until then she’s travelling. Breakfast at Tiffany’s is Truman Capote’s most lucid and sparkling work. Published with three exceptional short stories — House of Flowers, A Diamond Guitar and A Christmas Memory — it is the finest example of the flawless style and glittering wit of Capote’s earlier writing.
