About this product

Product Information

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 na vet 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.

A Diamond in the Rough Which Became a Great Classic in Film
Breakfast at Tiffany's is a genuine classic in world literature; colorful, lifelike, funny, and emotionally wrenching at times. Truman Capote crafted an original, rough diamond that was made into a huge and enchanting gem of a film. It's fun to trace creativity from its source to its near perfection. See the film first, to realize how timely it was. The 1950's and '60's were very eccentric and bubbling with energy, both creative and destructive. Capote was a vivid, realistic writer, and a real oddball to boot. Everyone who lived around his time knew a character like Holly Golightly; funny, beautiful, frustrating, irresponsible, and memorable. Shakespeare would have written about her if he could have.

Great stories from Truman Capote
The book has several stories, and I have only read the first -- "Breakfast at Tiffany's". Truman Capote was such a great writer, very efficient with his words but really painted a picture in the mind. The movie was great, and I wanted to read the book, before I realized that it was a short story, but I loved it even as much as the movie though the two are much different in many ways. I recommend to anyone of any age over 15 to read this story or any of Truman Capote's work, and you won't be disappointed. The book was in great condition as I received it, almost like new. I did try to find a lower price but wanted one in great condition and I am not disappointed that I purchased this one. The book cover does not look like the one pictured, and this was a little disappointing but I am still pleased. I think the one I received was the newer re-print of the book.Read full review

Breakfast at Tiffany's by Truman Capote
I watched the "Capote" movie that basically tells how he wrote the book "In Cold Blood". At the end, they told how Truman was never quite the same after the experience...so much so that he never wrote again. This inspired me to do a study on the man. I decided to read one of his earlier books "Breakfast at Tiffanys" followed by his last book "In Cold Blood". I found them both on eBay. Breakfast at Tiffany's was well written but a rather trite topic by today's standards. It was, however, the perfect read to study Capote's transition from one realm to the next.
