Es Nueva York en la década de 1940, donde los martinis fluyen desde la hora del cóctel hasta el desayuno en Tiffany. Y las chicas bonitas no lo hacen, excepto, por supuesto, Holly Golightly. Perseguida por los mafiosos de la mafia y los millonarios de playboy, Holly es una frágil mirada de cabello rojizo y nariz revuelta, un rompecorazones, un perplejo, un viajero, una provocación. Ella es irreprimiblemente 'la mejor banana en el departamento de choque', y una de las flores brillantes de la ficción estadounidense.
IDIOMA ORIGINAL
Immortalised by Audrey Hepburn's sparkling performance in the 1961 film of the same name, `Breakfast at Tiffany's` is 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 for The New Yorker, which provided his first - and last - regular job.
