Condition: Gut. 1. - 3. Tausend. Deutsche Erstausgabe. 196 Seiten. Einband: Karl Hanke. 20,1 cm. Aus dem Besitz des Kunsthistorikers Erhard Göpel mit Besitzername auf dem Vorsatz. Guter Zustand. In der flirrenden Atmosphäre des New Yorker Hochsommers lässt sich die 18-jährige Holly Golightly vom Strom des leichten Lebens treiben. Mit Charme und Einfallsreichtum schlägt sie sich durch zwischen Bohemiens und Playboys. Sie weiß, wie man eine Party feiert. Und sie weiß, was hilft, sobald sie vom ğroten ElendĞ überfallen wird, dieser unbestimmten Furcht: ein Abstecher zu Tiffany. - Truman Capote ['tru?m?n k?'po?ti] (* 30. September 1924 in New Orleans; 25. August 1984 in Los Angeles, geboren als Truman Streckfus Persons) war ein US-amerikanischer Schriftsteller, Schauspieler und Drehbuchautor. Leben: Truman Capote wurde als Truman Streckfus Persons am 30. September 1924 in New Orleans geboren und verbrachte den größten Teil seiner Kindheit bei seiner Großmutter. Nachdem seine Mutter den Kubaner Joseph Capote geheiratet hatte, verließ er 1934 die Südstaaten und seine einzige, dort lebende Freundin Harper Lee, und die Familie zog nach New York. Dort entdeckte Capote das Theater für sich und verschaffte sich durch seine Freundschaften mit Oona O'Neill und Gloria Vanderbilt Eintritt in die High Society. Mit 18 Jahren begann Capote, zunächst als Redaktionsgehilfe für das Magazin The New Yorker zu arbeiten. Der literarische Durchbruch gelang ihm 1945, als verschiedene Zeitschriften seine Erzählungen My Side of the Matter (Wie ich die Dinge sehe), Miriam, Tree of Night (Baum der Nacht) und Jug of Silver (Der silberne Krug) veröffentlichten. Als bedeutendster Nachwuchsautor seiner Generation gelobt, erhielt er 1946 für Miriam und 1948 für Shut a Final Door (Schließ die Tür) den bedeutenden O.-Henry-Preis für englischsprachige Kurzgeschichten. Other Voices, Other Rooms (Andere Stimmen, andere Räume), das Romandebüt des gerade 23-jährigen Capote, wurde eine literarische Sensation, spaltete aber die Meinungen der Kritiker und wurde in den USA und Europa das meistdiskutierte Buch des Jahres 1948. Zu dieser Zeit beendete der homosexuelle Capote seine Affäre mit dem 24 Jahre älteren Literaturprofessor Newton Arvin und verbrachte die folgenden drei Jahrzehnte mit dem Schriftsteller Jack Dunphy. Sein zweiter Roman The Grass Harp (Die Grasharfe) erntete schließlich das uneingeschränkte Lob der Kritiker, die Capotes Talent mit dem anderer Südstaatenautoren wie Carson McCullers und William Faulkner verglichen. In den 1950er Jahren reiste Capote längere Zeit durch Europa. Während dieser Zeit versuchte er sich an literarischen Experimenten wie der Arbeit an Drehbüchern, Musicals und Reisebeschreibungen. Nach seinem weltweiten Erfolg mit Breakfast at Tiffany's (Frühstück bei Tiffany) reiste Capote mit seiner Jugendfreundin Harper Lee nach Kansas, wo er die Morde an einer Farmerfamilie recherchierte. Dieser Fall beschäftigte Capote über sechs Jahre, und er schuf aus diesem Stoff einen der ersten dokumentarischen Romane, In Cold Blood (Kaltblütig), der dem Reportagestil des New Journalism zugeordnet wird. Das Buch wurde 1966 zu einem Bestseller und löste eine Medienlawine aus, die in einer von Capote selbst in New York ausgerichteten Mega-Party gipfelte, dem legendären Black-&-White-Ball, zu dem er die 500 berühmtesten Persönlichkeiten der USA einlud. In kreativer Hinsicht jedoch war der 45-jährige Capote erschöpft. Er tourte mit den Rolling Stones durch die USA, arbeitete erfolglos an Drehbüchern, wurde alkohol- und drogenabhängig und versank in zahllosen Affären, erlitt Nervenzusammenbrüche und Gefängnisaufenthalte. Nachdem er acht Jahre lang keine Prosa veröffentlicht hatte, erschien 1975 das erste Kapitel seines schon länger angekündigten, groß angelegten Sittenpamphlets Answered Prayers (Erhörte Gebete) im Esquire-Magazin. In den Auszügen des geplanten Schlüsselromans enthüllte er persönlichste Geheimnisse der High Society, zu der er als geschätzter Exzentriker 25 Jahre lang unbeschränkten Zugang gehabt hatte, was mit zum Selbstmord der darin porträtierten Millionärswitwe Ann Woodward führte. Die gezielten Indiskretionen führten zum Bruch jahrzehntelanger Freundschaften und zu Capotes gesellschaftlicher Ächtung. Capote versank in Depressionen, feierte Partys im Studio 54 und nahm Drogen. Nach mehreren Klinikaufenthalten begann er mit 55 Jahren wieder mit dem Schreiben und veröffentlichte 1980 den Erzählband Music for Chameleons (Musik für Chamäleons). Durch die Drogensucht verursachte Halluzinationen verfolgten ihn während seiner letzten Lebensjahre, die er über längere Zeiträume hinweg in Krankenhäusern und Sanatorien verbrachte. Am 25. August 1984 starb er einsam in Los Angeles an einer Überdosis Tabletten. Drei Jahre später erschien das Fragment Answered Prayers und 1988 schließlich die von Capote noch selbst autorisierte Biographie von Gerald Clarke. Ende des Jahres 2004 wurde in einem alten Pappkarton bei Sotheby's in New York ein vollständiges Manuskript abgegeben: Summer Crossing Sommerdiebe. Es war Truman Capotes erster Roman, den er 1943, mit neunzehn Jahren, zu schreiben begonnen hat. Es handelt sich um die Geschichte der 17jährigen Grady, schön, reich und widerspenstig, ein Geschöpf der Upper East Side. Es beschreibt ein Mädchen mit der Klasse und dem Eigensinn jener Gefährtinnen, mit denen sich der junge Truman Capote selbst gerne umgab, Gloria Vanderbilt beispielsweise, Oona O'Neill, Tochter des berühmten Dramatikers Eugene O'Neill etc (aus Sommerdiebe", Kein und Aber-Verlag, editorische Notiz von Anuschka Roshani). .

ISBNÊ10: 0141189533 Found online: 'Penguin asked the brilliant leather designer, Bill Amberg, to design a six book set. Amberg chose vegetable tanned buffalo skin from 'fallen animals' - which means they died from natural causes. The skins were processed in a totally ecological way, where the water is recycled after filtering through reed beds. The resultant leather is tough and aesthetic, and, like all great leather bindings, can only improve with handling. Amberg has used Yapp binding, where the leather overlaps the exposed edges of the text block. Such bindings are limp, with rounded corners, so the leather edges protect the text block as the y soften and envelope the pages. The leather edges are beautifully sewn. Additionally, there is a tethered bookmark in the same material which bears the book's title. At the base of the leather spine is a blind embossed Penguin logo.' Fine. Box very faintly handled. Excellent condition. .
