A sangre fria (In Cold Blood)

by Truman Capote, Jesus Zulaika (Translator)

Overview

Truman Capote captura al lector en una historia apasionante, e inaugura -como él mismo proclamara- un género. Con eficacia pionera, Capote siguió paso a paso la vida del pequeño pueblo de Holcomb y concentró su atención en los criminales; curiosamente, ese trabajo de investigación lo convirtió en el biógrafo de una sociedad.

English Translation: Truman Cape captures the reader in an exciting history, and inaugurates - as he himself proclaimed a sort. With pioneering effectiveness, Cape step by step followed the life of the small town of Holcomb and concentrated its attention in the criminals; peculiarly, that work of investigation turned it into the biographer of a society.
