Capote Truman

In Cold Blood

Capote Truman, 1994

National Bestseller On November 15, 1959, in the small town of Holcomb, Kansas, four members of the Clutter family were savagely murdered by blasts from a shotgun held a few inches from their faces. There was no apparent motive for the crime, and there were almost no clues. As Truman Capote reconstructs the murder and the investigation that led to the capture, trial, and execution of the killers, he generates both mesmerizing suspense and astonishing empathy. In Cold Blood is a work that transcends its moment, yielding poignant insights into the nature of American violence. Подробнее

In Cold Blood

Capote Truman, 2012

Dick became convinced that Perry was that rarity, a natural killer — absolutely sane, but conscienceless, and capable of dealing, with or without motive, the coldest-blooded deathblows. On November 15, 1959, in the small town of Holcomb, Kansas, a wealthy farmer, his wife and their two young children were found brutally murdered. Blood all over the walls, the telephone lines cut, and only a few dollars stolen. Heading up the investigation is Agent Al Dewey, but all he has are two footprints, four bodies, and a whole lot of questions. Подробнее

Breakfast at Tiffany's

Capote Truman, 2008

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. Подробнее

It's New York in the 1940s, where the martinis flow from cocktail-hour to breakfast at Tiffany's. And nice girls don't, except, of course, Holly Golightly.

She is irrepressibly 'top banana in the shock department', and one of the shining flowers of American fiction. Подробнее
