In Cold Blood : A True Account of a Multiple Murder and its Consequences (9780141182575)



The chilling true crime 'non-fiction novel' that made Truman Capote's name, In Cold Blood is a seminal work of modern prose, a remarkable synthesis of journalistic skill and powerfully evocative narrative published in Penguin Modern Classics.

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.

Truman Capote (1924-84) was born in New Orleans. He left school when he was fifteen and subsequently worked for The New Yorker, which provided his first - and last - regular job. He wrote both fiction and non-fiction - short stories, novels and novellas, travel writing, profiles, reportage, memoirs, plays and films; his other works include In Cold Blood (1965), Music for Chameleons (1980) and Answered Prayers (1986), all of which are published in Penguin Modern Classics.

If you enjoyed In Cold Blood, you might like Jack Kerouac and William S. Burroughs' And the Hippos were Boiled in their Tanks, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.

'It is the American dream turning into the American nightmare ... By juxtaposing and dovetailing the lives and values of the Clutters and those of the killers, Capote produces a stark image of the deep doubleness of American life ... a remarkable book'
Spectator

Versecircus (9780993580246)

Verse - Worte, Ungesagtes zwischen den Zeilen und zarte, zauberhafte Klänge kunstvoll vereinend - begleiten unser Leben oftmals von frühen Zeiten an. Ob durch das Bewusstsein der Gegenwart ziehend oder wie Glühwürmchen im großen Raum der Erinnerung auf und ab tanzend, vermögen sie unsere Seele in feinste Schwingungen zu versetzen, ja, unsere Gefühle und Gedanken an unsichtbaren Fäden in entrückte, frühere und frühe Zeiten zu verlocken. So sei der Versecircus, eine für Kinder aber auch Erwachsene gedachte, bunte Sammlung an Gedichten, ein Begleiter für Streifzüge durch die in träumerisches Licht getauchten, gerade lebhaft begangenen oder schon vergangenen und doch unvergänglichen Landstriche der Kindheit.
