Manuscript "Breakfast at Tiffany's" sold
Manuscript notorious Truman Capote's novel "Breakfast at Tiffany's" was sold on the online auction RR Auction for 306,000 dollars. Such a generous amount paid for the priceless copy of the Russian billionaire, the founder of a network of shops "Old Hottabych" Igor Sosin.
Despite the fact that the text of the novel is printed on a typewriter, its pages have a lot of corrections and amendments made by the author. For example, the name of the protagonist on all 86-page handwritten works fixed Connie Gustafson Holly Golightly. According to the organizers of the auction, they expected to get for the manuscript of at least 250 thousand dollars, but certainly not counting on a generous amount of 306 thousand.
I recall that Truman Capote novel was published in 1958, and his worldwide fame he gained three years later, when the screens went iconic painting "Breakfast at Tiffany's" with Audrey Hepburn in the title role.
