Más información sobre el libro

Truman Capote's novella is set in 1940s New York City and highlights a unique form of female independence that was rare in the mid-20th century. The protagonist, Holly, lives life on her own terms, largely disregarding societal expectations. As a young woman who supports herself by associating with wealthy men, she faces relentless criticism for her lifestyle. To maintain her autonomy, Holly is even willing to break the law and flee to another country. This work gained immense popularity, particularly due to its film adaptation featuring Audrey Hepburn as Holiday Golightly, whose iconic dark glasses and black dress became fashion symbols. The narrative explores themes of independence, societal judgment, and the lengths one might go to preserve personal freedom.
