A visit to one of the few remaining Savage Reservations, where the old, imperfect life still continues, may be the cure for his Huxley`s ingenious fantasy of the future sheds a blazing light on the present and is considered to be his most enduring masterpiece.

Holly Golightly was undoubtedly the role that made Audrey Hepburn a movie icon. Dressed by Hubert de Givenchy and holding the infamous cigarette holder, she played her most memorable part in Breakfast at Tiffany`s. Adapted from the Truman Capote novella of the same name, the inspired cast took the screenplay and fashioned it into the touching comedy of a young woman finding her way in the world. 2011 is the 50th anniversary of the release of Breakfast at Tiffany`s and this lavish book pays tribute to its ongoing popularity. The only official companion to be published in association with Paramount Pictures and the Audrey Hepburn estate, it includes favourite images from the film as well as unpublished behind the scenes footage from the...

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 naivete 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.
Steeplechase jockey Christmas "Kit" Fielding has had more than his share of close calls both on and off the course. But trouble hits close to home when a grudge between his family and his sister`s in-laws turns into a blood feud.
