A sangre fría

With one foot in journalism and the other in literature, Capote narrates the murder of the four members of the Clutter family in Kansas on November 15, 1959, and the fate of the two responsible for the deaths: Dick Hickcock and Perry Smith.

Originally published in 1966, In Cold Blood established Truman Capote as one of the great writers of 20th-century American narrative. With one foot in journalism and the other in literature, he narrates the murder of the four members of the Clutter family in Kansas on November 15, 1959, and the fate of the two responsible for the deaths: Dick Hickcock and Perry Smith.

Capote delves into the life of the quiet town, sketches portraits of the victims, accompanies the police in the investigations that led to the discovery of the murderers, and, above all, focuses on the criminals until he builds two masterful characters whom we come to know in depth.

A novel about violence and madness that, fifty years after its first appearance, reads as if it had been written yesterday. This special edition allows more readers to access one of the fundamental texts of New Journalism and one of the most complete examples of non-fiction.
