Ilustration Toward Books Breakfast at Tiffany's
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, Holly Golightly. Pursued by Mafia gangsters and playboy millionaires, 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 department', 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'.Rating Appertaining To Books Breakfast at Tiffany's

The most famous of Capote's novels, Breakfast at Tiffanys charms the reader with wit and a lively storyline. Its subject is the short-lived friendship between a straight woman and a gay man living in New York during the early '40s, its theme the yearning for deep connection and a sense of belonging. In spite of Capote's ethereal prose and dazzling imagery, an excruciating sadness suffuses the novella: none of the self-destructive characters find what they long for by the end, and it seemsHoliday Golightly. Shes quirky, comical, and glamorous. Shes fashionable, in-the-know, and in-the-now. Shes lonely, lost, and waiting to be rescued. You couldnt resist her charm if you tried, and you cant help but fall in love with her. Well, at least in the Hollywood film version. Capotes original novella paints a darker portrait of Miss Golightly. Unlike Audrey Hepburns adorable Holly, who needs a knight in slightly-rusted armor to save her, Capotes girl is a wild thing who cannot be caged,
When I started reading this book, because I haven't seen the movie, I thought Audrey Hepburn's name was Tiffany. Through college I saw so many posters with her face and "Breakfast at Tiffany's" somewhere on the image and that is what stuck in my head and I still have a tough time thinking anything different. When I found out the real reason the title is what it is, I was disappointed that this book was an early version of product placement, but even with all of that said - Breakfast at Tiffany's
Im struggling to figure out what makes this quite so great, it could be Trumans beautiful limpid style which winds its sentences through your inner ear so that you might think that language itself had been melted and turned into vanilla frosting or it could be that this is the sweet sad little tale of a guy who met this creature and got stuck permanently in the friend zone, and kind of almost didnt really mind because at least the friend zone was something and not nothing, thats how entranced he
Breakfast at Tiffany's: Truman Capote's Novella of Love or Something Like It "If she was in this city I'd have seen her. You take a man that likes to walk, a man like me, a man's been walking in the streets going on ten or twelve years, and all those years he's got his eye out for one person, and nobody's ever her, don't it stand to reason she's not there? I see pieces of her all the time, a flat litle bottom, any skinny girl that walks fast and straight--...It's just that I didn't know you'd
If you let yourself love a wild thing. You'll end up looking at the sky. Told in a reflective and almost lyrical tone, this is the story of a writer, referred to as 'Fred', who reminisces about the neighbor he fell for back in 1943. The thing is, Im not sure if we ever get a glimpse of the real Holly Golightly.An enigma of sorts; Hollys not one to get attached or share much of anything about her past. She avoids the truth by putting a fun and often ridiculous spin on things and shes full of
