Breakfast at Tiffany's

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 naiveté 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.
