?A fable of criminal genius?. Remarkable."?The New York Times Text: English (translation) Original Language: German
An acclaimed bestseller and international sensation, Patrick Suskind’s classic novel provokes a terrifying examination of what happens when one man’s indulgence in his greatest passion—his sense of smell—leads to murder.
In the slums of eighteenth-century France, the infant Jean-Baptiste Grenouille is born with one sublime gift—an absolute sense of smell. As a boy, he lives to decipher the odors of Paris, and apprentices himself to a prominent perfumer who teaches him the ancient art of mixing precious oils and herbs. But Grenouille’s genius is such that he is not satisfied to stop there, and he becomes obsessed with capturing the smells of objects such as brass doorknobs and fresh-cut wood. Then one day he catches a hint of a scent that will drive him on an ever-more-terrifying quest to create the “ultimate perfume”—the scent of a beautiful young virgin. Told with dazzling narrative brilliance, Perfume is a hauntingly powerful tale of murder and sensual depravity.
Translated from the German by John E. Woods.
A beautiful, dark tale Perfume is a wonderfully written, magical tale full that is sometimes funny, other times scary and often just plain weird. Peer into the incredible, horrible life (and mind) of Grenouille, a man who, from birth, revolts the senses of anyone in his presence. Peer over his shoulder as he goes on a fantastic, perverse quest of self-discovery. At times you may pity him; at times you may loathe him - but it’s doubtful that one would ever forget him. This is one hell of a great read, and it was also made into one of my favorite films. Enjoy!Definitely on my top 10 of best books ever read in my life Definitely on my top 10 of best books ever read in my life. Although it is a translation from the original (I believe it was written in German originally) it is still a masterpiece in the use of the English language. A must read for every single person in the world, if only to relish the use of wonderfully descriptive narrative which is so sadly lacking in the modern world ! As all good books, one is transported into another world each time you pick it up.Kurt Cobain led me here Heard about this book in an interview with Kurt Cobain, who said that this book was the inspiration for the song "Scentless Apprentice". Being a Nirvana fan, I had to give it a shot. I can honestly say that this, despite it being a bit confusing at times, is one of my favorite stories I have ever read. Definitely one to read several times, as I'm convinced that more/deeper meaning would be revealed each and every time.If you're thinking of getting it, DO.
