Snídaně u Tiffanyho / Breakfast at Tiffany´s - Zrcadlová četba (B2-C1) – Capote Truman (2024)

Truman Capote's novella Breakfast at Tiffany's is set in New York City in the 1940s and draws the reader's attention to a certain kind of female independence that was rather uncommon in the mid-20th century. Holly, an independent girl, lives her life according to what she wants, paying little attention to what other people expect of her. As a young woman who financially sustains herself by spending time with wealthy men, Holly faces constant criticism and disapproval of the way she lives. To protect her autonomy, she is even willing to break the law and escape to a foreign country. Breakfast at Tiffany's is one of Truman Capote's most famous works, due in large part to the film adaptation of it, with Audrey Hepburn as Holiday Golightly, whose dark glasses and black dress soon became fashion icons.
