Breakfast at Tiffany's & Other Voices, Other Rooms

Watched the recent series on Hulu and became hooked on Truman Capote’s history. Great books at a time before he went off the rails.

村上春樹訳の「ティファニーで朝食を」を読み、色彩豊かな表現と繊細な心の機微が素敵で、カポーティいいな、是非原文で読みたいなと思ったのと、ティファニーブルーの表紙に惹かれて購入。処女作の「遠い声、遠い部屋」も村上春樹訳が最近出版されたので予習も兼ねて。表紙はカバーに過ぎず、剥がすと地味なベージュのハードカバーなので注意。

I read Breakfast at Tiffany's many years ago and promptly went through a 'Capote phase' reading everything he had written and everything about him. Inevitably my passion burned itself out and his books remained on my shelves - never to be thrown away. But then I realised I had lent Breakfast at Tiffany's to a friend and never got it back (never lend books!) and I decided to order this copy to set things right.And of course I dipped in to it when it arrived and then more or less read it in one sitting. It all came back to me - Capote once again wove his spell. It is a masterpiece - nothing more nothing less.

I've been a breakfast at tiffany's fan for ages, the book and the movie, and I was devastated when my room mate took off with my copy of the book. When I searched for a new one, I was delighted to see this one came in a combo of Breakfast at Tiffany's and Other Voices, Other Rooms! The hardcover and the book jacket are absolutely beautiful. This one will be on display in my home for some time.For those who have only watched the movie - please do not expect to receive the movie script in book form. Without giving away the plot, a lot of changes were made between book and screen. Both are excellent, but the movie is a far different story.

Book was in excellent condition, better than expected.
