Book 1: Breakfast at Tiffany's
Incredibly atmospheric and full of heartbreaking nostalgia, Breakfast at Tiffany's is a small book about a big dream and a person's eternal search for a place in the world that he or she could call his or her own. But when the past hangs over you like a dark wall, from which you are trying your best to escape, how can you distinguish this search from a desperate flight with your eyes closed? The life of Holly Golightly, an attractive and sophisticated young woman, may seem like a dream come true at first glance. Loud, upbeat music blares from the windows of her Manhattan apartment every night and champagne flows. Millionaires, Hollywood bigwigs and gangsters consider it an honour to be her guests. Wherever she appears, she instantly causes a real sensation. It seems that the whole of New York is at her feet... But behind the shiny facade of success lies a confused and frightened human being who blindly chases the phantoms of happiness, not fully believing in them, just to avoid having to stop and look back...
House number 12 on Fifth Avenue in New York. An ordinary building with nothing special about it. Except for an old mechanical lift. And the mysterious Indian lift driver Sanjay. Chloe, the owner of the ninth-floor apartment, has no idea who the new liftman really is. Nor does she know that he is ready to give up all the treasures of the world to be on the ninth floor again. To open the door, look her in the eye and say: "I've been looking for someone like you all my life." Eight floors, one small secret, and a tumultuous life full of surprises lie between them...
"City of Girls" is the new bestselling novel by Elizabeth Gilbert, who conquered the world with her novels Eat, Pray, Love and The Nature of All Things.
This is an intriguing novel about female sexuality and freedom, about the courage to be yourself and the right to live the way you want. It is also the story of a very unusual love, shadowed by war, and true friendship, which is not easy to find, understand and appreciate, especially in a city as complex and volatile as New York.
The novel "City of Girls" begins in 1940, when nineteen-year-old Vivian Morris is expelled from a prestigious college. Her parents send their daughter to Manhattan to live with her aunt, who owns a small but very eccentric theatre. Unexpectedly, Vivian finds herself in a real whirlpool of pre-war bohemian life. Meetings with stars, unusual theatrical performances, unrestrained sex, rivers of alcohol and a feeling of complete freedom first fascinate and seduce her, and then knock the ground out from under her feet. And this is just the beginning of Vivian's lifelong journey to realise that you don't have to be a good girl to be a good person.
