Penguin Readers Level 4 Breakfast at Tiffany's

Publikacja Atomowe nawyki to sprawdzona i poparta naukowymi dowodami metoda kształtowania dobrych przyzwyczajeń i wyzbywania się złych nawyków. Fundamentem książki Atomowe nawyki jest model nawyków składający się z czterech kroków (wskazówki, pragnienia, reakcji i nagrody) oraz czterech praw zmiany zachowania, które z tych kroków wynikają. Przedstawione przez autora założenia stanowią zintegrowany model bazujący na naukach kognitywnych i behawioralnych. Jego zdaniem jest to jeden z pierwszych modeli ludzkiego zachowania, który uwzględnia wpływ na nawyki zarówno bodźców zewnętrznych, jak i wewnętrznych emocji. Choć niektóre terminy mogą być znane, niektóre szczegóły – oraz zastosowanie czterech praw zmiany zachowania – wskażą czytelnikom nowe podejś...

Starcie dobra ze złem – odwieczny problem ludzkości. Z zimną krwią to pionierska próba nowego pisarstwa, dokument zbrodni popełnionej przez dwóch recydywistów na czteroosobowej rodzinie farmera z Kansas. Wydarzenie to zostało szczegółowo opisane, podobnie jak śledztwo, pościg za mordercami, proces i zachowanie przestępców w sądzie i więzieniu aż po egzekucję. Capote po mistrzowsku przedstawia godny Ajschylosa motyw zbrodni i kary, zmuszając czytelnika do refleksji na temat źródeł zła. Z zimną krwią to arcydzieło, obok którego nie można przejść obojętnie. Tytuł oryginalny: In Cold Blood Tłumacz: Krzysztof Filip Rudolf Redaktor: Elżbieta Bandel

Little Clothbound Classics: irresistible, mini editions of short stories, novellas and essays from the world's greatest writers, designed by the award-winning Coralie Bickford-Smith. Holly Golightly is a glittering socialite mover and shaker: generally upwards, sometimes sideways and, every now and then, down. She's up all night drinking cocktails and breaking hearts. She's a shoplifter, a delight, a drifter, a tease. In short, an icon. Truman Capote's most famous work, Breakfast at Tiffany's is the ultimate ode to dreamers. 'The most perfect writer of my generation ... I would not have changed two words of Breakfast at Tiffany's' Norman Mailer

Selected from across Capote's writing life, the stories range from nostalgic portraits of childhood to more unsettling works that reveal the darkness beneath the festive glitter. In the Deep South of Capote's youth, a young boy, Buddy, and his beloved maiden 'aunt' Sook forage for pecans and whisky to bake into fruitcakes, make kites - too broke to buy gifts - and rise before dawn to prepare feasts for a ragged assembly of guests; it is Sook who teaches Buddy the true meaning of goodwill. In other stories, an unlikely festive miracle, of sorts, occurs at a local drugstore; an eccentric young girl dreams of Hollywood; and a lonely woman has a troubling encounter in wintry New York. Brimming with feeling, these sparkling tales convey both the wonder and the chill of Christmas time

Cztery historie, w których miłość króluje w swoich najbardziej różnorodnych formach. Tytułowe – legendarne! – Śniadanie u Tiffany’ego stało się inspiracją do niezapomnianego filmu z Audrey Hepburn w roli głównej. Holly Golightly to odważna, łamiąca reguły młoda kobieta, pracująca jako dama do towarzystwa. Kontakty z mafijnym półświatkiem nie chronią jej jednak przed zakochaniem się w brazylijskim dyplomacie. Czy wieczna podróżniczka, jak sama siebie nazywa, będzie miała szansę zatrzymać się gdzieś na dłużej i odnaleźć szczęście i miłość? W zbiorze znalazły się również opowiadania: Dom z kwiatów, Brylantowa gitara oraz Bożonarodzeniowe wspomnienie.

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. Pursued by Mafia gangsters and playboy millionaires, Holly is a fragile eyeful of tawny hair and turned-up nose, a heart-breaker, a perplexer, a traveller, a tease. She is irrepressibly 'top banana in the shock department', and one of the shining flowers of American fiction.

Controversial and compelling, In Cold Blood reconstructs the murder in 1959 of a Kansas farmer, his wife and both their children. Truman Capote's comprehensive study of the killings and subsequent investigation explores the circumstances surrounding this terrible crime and the effect it had on those involved. At the centre of his study are the amoral young killers Perry Smith and Dick Hickcock, who, vividly drawn by Capote, are shown to be reprehensible yet entirely and frighteningly human. The book that made Capote's name, In Cold Blood is a seminal work of modern prose, a remarkable synthesis of journalistic skill and powerfully evocative narrative.

Including a previously-unpublished story 'The Bargain', Truman Capote's The Complete Stories is the first ever complete collection stories from one of the masters of American literature, and the author of Breakfast at Tiffany's. This Penguin Classics edition includes an introduction by Reynolds Price. Passionate, perceptive and eloquent, the short stories of Truman Capote are amon the greatest works of twentieth-century American fiction. This new collection gathers them all together for the first time: from early, eerie Southern Gothic tales such as 'Miriam' and 'The Headless Hawk', to the brilliantly evocative 'Children On Their Birth-days' and the tenderly autobiographical 'A Christmas Memory' - an affectionate portrayal of Capote's own Alabama upbringing. Whether describing the Deep Sou...
