"Truman Capote is the most perfect writer of my generation. He writes the best sentences word for word, rhythm upon rhythm. If you want to capture a period in New York, no other book has done it so well. He could capture period and place like few others" (Norman Mailer). The film adaptation was directed by Blake Edwards, starring Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard.

Handsomely bound in finely woven yellow cloth stamped in gilt and black on the spine. Very clean and tight throughout with light blue topstaining. Dedicated to Truman's lover Jack Dunphy. In a complete, original dust jacket designed by Ismar David with the original price of $3.50 at the top of the inside front flap and the date code of "10/58" at the bottom of the flap. With a touch of fading to the orange spine, but with the white title "Breakfast at Tiffany's readable and "Truman Capote" and "Random House" printed in bold black ink. The rear panel is splendidly white and clean; it features a charcoal drawing of Capote. The inside flaps are also quite white and crisply printed. Overall, a lovely, collector's copy of this classic novella in the scarce dust jacket. Unusual in this condition. The 3 stories included are: House of Flowers, A Diamond Guitar, and A Christmas Memory. Breakfast at Tiffany's is a novella by Truman Capote published in 1958. The main character, Holly Golightly, is one of Capote's best-known creations. In autumn 1943, the unnamed narrator becomes friends with Holly Golightly, who calls him "Fred", after her older brother. The two are both tenants in a brownstone apartment in Manhattan's Upper East Side. Holly (age 1819) is a country girl turned New York café society girl. As such, she has no job and lives by socializing with wealthy men, who take her to clubs and restaurants, and give her money and expensive presents; she hopes to marry one of them. According to Capote, Golightly is not a prostitute but an "American geisha". Holly likes to shock people with carefully selected tidbits from her personal life or her outspoken viewpoints on various topics. Over the course of a year, she slowly reveals herself to the narrator, who finds himself fascinated by her curious lifestyle. The novella was loosely adapted into the 1961 movie Breakfast at Tiffany's starring Audrey Hepburn and directed by Blake Edwards. The movie was transposed to circa 1960 rather than the 1940s, the period of the novella. In addition to this, at the end of the film the protagonist and Holly fall in love and stay together, whereas in the novella there is no love affair whatsoever Holly just leaves the United States and the narrator has no idea what happened to her since then, except for a photograph of her with a tribe in Africa. Capote originally envisioned Marilyn Monroe as Holly, and lobbied the studio for her, but the film was done at Paramount, and though Monroe did independent films, including for her own production company, she was still under contract with Twentieth Century Fox, and had just completed Let's Make Love with Yves Montand.

Hard Cover. Condición: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Included. First Edition. First edition, first printing. Publisher's yellow cloth, black label lettered in gilt to spine; in its original orange dust jacket, lettered in black and white, and designed by Ismar David. Near fine, with a touch of soiling to front board, and very light rubbing to spine; near fine unclipped dust jacket, with unfaded spine, light wear to spine ends, few nicks and a small closed tear to top of front panel. Overall, a bright example of the original dust jacket that is prone to fading. Breakfast at Tiffany's is the author's third novel and includes the short stories, "House of Flowers," "A Diamond Guitar," and "A Christmas Memory," in addition to the title novella. This beloved text features the iconic protagonist Holly Golightly, a passionate and free-spirited young woman living in New York City. The plot tells of an unnamed narrator, a writer, as he gets to know Holly and learns about her quest to find happiness and a place to call home. Breakfast at Tiffany's was first published in Esquire magazine in 1958 after being rejected by Harper's Bazaar for being too risqué. Random House published the novella along with three of Capote's popular short stories, and it was made into a film starring Audrey Hepburn three years later. Interestingly, Holly Golightly was originally named Connie Gustafson, and Capote only changed her name as a last-minute decision shortly before publication.

The book is issued its first issue dust jacket with the 10/58 date code one the front flap.

Capote originally sold his story Breakfast at Tiffany's to Harper's Bazaar for $2,000, with intended publication in its July 1958 issue. Shortly after the publication was scheduled, Harper's editor Carmel Snow was ousted by the magazine's publisher, the Hearst Corporation, and Hearst executives began asking for changes to the novella's language as there was concern that Tiffany's & Co., a major advertiser, would react negatively. The story was removed from the Harper s Bazzar publication schedule but Capote soon resold the work to Esquire for $3,000. His novella appeared in Esquire s November 1958 issue. A collection of the Breakfast at Tiffany s novella and three short stories by Capote was published by Random House in the same year. The novella received glowing reviews. "If you want to capture a period in New York, no other book has done it so well. He could capture a period and place like few others" (Norman Mailer). The novella was quickly adapted for the 1961 hit film starring Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard. Truman Capote was born in New Orleans and educated in New York and Connecticut. He worked in the Art Department of The New Yorker and as a writer on a television show before going on his own as a full-time writer. His first novel at age 24, Other Voices, Other Rooms, brought him literary fame and a strong following, which continued throughout his life, reaching a peak with the success of his "nonfiction true crime novel In Cold Blood. Capote s story, Shut a Final Door, won the O. Henry award in 1946. CONDITION: Very good condition. Octavo. Retains the original first issue orange dust jacket, now protected with a mylar sleeve.
