ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A MODERN CLASSIC, ONE OF THE MOST UNSETTLING NOVELS OF RECENT DECADES, NOW IN A HARDCOVER EDITION Perhaps scents make us feel invisible. Before touch comes scent, the messenger of an essence that vanishes into the air yet holds immense power. The seduction of scent is relentless: it settles within us and seals its influence in the fabric of memory. Jean-Baptiste Grenouille is marked from birth: he gives off no scent, provoking fear of something inhuman. Yet he possesses an extraordinary gift: a remarkable sense of smell that allows him to perceive every scent in the world. Born into poverty and abandoned to the care of monks, Grenouille rises through society to become a renowned perfumer. He creates fragrances that can render him invisible or inspire sympathy, love, and compassion... but to craft his most powerful creations, he must murder young virginal women to capture their scent. His art becomes a dark and masterful obsession. Patrick S skind delivers a sharp reflection on human nature in a novel rich with imagination. As compelling as its protagonist, it draws readers into a literary journey through the spectrum of scents and the disturbing depths of the human soul.
