This Penguin Modern Classics edition features a stunning design, making it a perfect addition to any literary collection. ## Description 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. He wrote both fiction and non-fiction - short stories, novels and novellas, travel writing, profiles, reportage, memoirs, plays and films; his other works include In Cold Blood (1965), Music for Chameleons (1980) and Answered Prayers (1986), all of which are published in Penguin Modern Classics. If you enjoyed Breakfast at Tiffany's , you might like Capote's In Cold Blood , also available in Penguin Modern Classics. 'One of the twentieth century's most gorgeously romantic fictions' Daily Telegraph 'The most perfect writer of my generation ... I would not have changed two words of Breakfast at Tiffany's ' Norman Mailer Review: I always expected myself to like 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' - Out of the 4 stories contained in this collection, I always expected myself to like 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'. The movie is one of my most rewatched films and it's too bad that I waited so long to read Capote's book. Half of me was afraid that the book might not live up to the movie, and I did not want to read a lesser version of a story that I love so much. Needless to say, such fears were useless. There are difference between the two storylines, but it's hard to pick which version I like better. Both are equally good. Capote's writing simply captivates you. The big surprise for me was 'A Christmas Memory'. I can't remember the last time I read a short story that touched me so. With just 150 pages I have fallen in love with the genius that Truman Capote is. Review: 1st 100 pages (1st story) avg but last 50 pages(3stories) outstanding...beautiful language. - Good book...it contains 4 stories. 1.breakfast at tiffany. 2.house of flowers. 3.diamond guitor. ... 4.christmas memory. A)if u hav already read "fountain head" & "atlas shrugged" then it would be somewhat boring reading 1st story....avg story...but beautifully presented..... B). The remaining 3 stories are outstanding&beautifully presented...it will tickle ur memories....capotes extrordinory presentation.........

His story 'One Christmas Memory'...almost a non-fiction again...has carved a permanent place in my heart...One of the most poignant I have ever read...And, please, don't take it lightly...I have been reading Hemingway side by side. I wish Capote would have lived longer and would have written more..And more people knew about his writings. A 98 pages one breath long story .The central character of this book is Holly Golightly..a girl who hates the thought of any living being kept in cages..who advises against falling in love with wild beings...hawks..crows..or women... Who doesn't think that a person can ever belong to any other person and most importantly, she has her concept of what a place with complete bliss would be like...it would be like Breakfast at Tiffany's....where the confidence,elegance and comfort arising out of affluence permeates the ambience...and nothing can go wrong at such places. Everything in a calm control. All women have a Holly in them..and all have their own imagination of their personal breakfasts at Tiffany's. (About the movie:May be later....someday we will talk about that.... There is a wonderful movie with the same name based on this book. A beautiful movie with Audrey Hepburn as Holly.... Well, I don't ever get into the debate of the book or the movie.They are two separate media..asking for different sets of methods and treatments...in different types of hands......) This is not a review.This is an attempt to capture my own awe in words...and to share something that is much more than a joy of reading! Reviewing Truman Capote is almost blasphemous.One has to just read him and enter the solitude where he takes us..a world where he has observed everything.. The rain..the mist..the whiff...and even the skidding of wet leaves.. Capote was king of observations.The reader inside us starts looking at all those things and sentiments which one might not have cared to register till now. Capote just conquers your heart and keeps it in his hands to take us to a world you know you have not seen, but you feel that you have travelled there again...you have memories calling.... Capote is wistful always..in all his writings..always longing for some feeling of the past..missing something which he doesn't seem to put in a concrete shape...a loss which he cannot put his finger on..doesn't know whether it existed. And when you read Capote, you see everything he has seen and noted. ## Frequently Bought Together - Breakfast at Tiffany's - In Cold Blood : A True Account of a Multiple Murder and Its Consequences (Penguin Modern Classics) - The Complete Stories (Penguin Modern Classics) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/76534346-breakfast-at-tiffanys](https://www.desertcart.it/products/76534346-breakfast-at-tiffanys) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-07-29*
