Holly Golightly es, tal vez, el personaje mas cautivador creado por este maestro de la seduccion que era Truman Capote. Atractiva sin ser linda, tras haber rechazado una carrera de actriz en Hollywood, Holly se convierte en una de las figuras del Nueva York mas sofisticado. Mezcla de picardia e inocencia, de astucia y autenticidad, se contenta con vivir el dia, sin pasado, no queriendo pertenecer a nada ni a nadie, sintiendose desterrada en todas partes, sonando siempre en ese paraiso que para ella es Tiffany's, la famosa joyeria neoyorquina. A la novela corta del titulo la acompanan tres cuentos no menos extraordinarios: Una casa de flores, Una guitarra de diamantes y Un recuerdo navideno. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION 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 naivete 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.

Truman Capote

Truman Capote was born in New Orleans in 1924 and was raised in various parts of the south, his family spending winters in New Orleans and summers in Alabama and New Georgia.

By the age of fourteen he had already started writing short stories, some of which were published. He left school when he was fifteen and subsequently worked for the New Yorker which provided his first - and last - regular job.

Following his spell with the New Yorker, Capote spent two years on a Louisiana farm where he wrote Other Voices, Other Rooms (1948). He lived, at one time or another, in Greece, Italy, Africa and the West Indies, and travelled in Russia and the Orient.

He is the author of many highly praised books, including A Tree of Night and Other Stories (1949), The Grass Harp (1951), Breakfast at Tiffany's (1958), In Cold Blood (1965), which immediately became the centre of a storm of controversy on its publication, Music for Chameleons (1980) and Answered Prayers (1986), all of which are published by Penguin. Truman Capote died in August 1984.
