Sinossi
Il Profumo di Patrick Süskind è un romanzo classico sulla morte e la sensualità a Parigi, pubblicato per la prima volta come Penguin Essential. "Nella Francia del XVIII secolo viveva un uomo che era uno dei personaggi più dotati e abominevoli in un'epoca che non conosceva la mancanza di personaggi dotati e abominevoli. Il suo nome era Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, e se il suo nome è stato dimenticato oggi, non è certamente perché Grenouille fosse inferiore a quei mascalzoni più famosi quando si trattava di arroganza, misantropia, immoralità o, più succintamente, malvagità, ma perché i suoi doni e la sua unica ambizione erano limitati a un dominio che non lascia tracce nella storia: al regno fugace del profumo. ''Un sorprendente tour de force sia nel concetto che nell'esecuzione' Guardian 'Un racconto fantastico di omicidio ed erotismo contorto controllato da un disgustato odio per l'umanità. Intelligente, elegante, avvincente e vale la pena di essere letto' Literary Review 'Una meditazione sulla natura della morte, del desiderio e del decadimento. Un notevole esordio' Peter Ackroyd, The New York Times Book Review 'Diverso da qualsiasi altra cosa si sia mai letta. Un fenomeno. Tutti sembrano voler annusare questo strano profumo, che rimarrà unico nella letteratura contemporanea' Figaro 'Una fantasia ingegnosa e totalmente avvincente' Daily Telegraph 'Spiritoso, elegante e ferocemente avvincente' Observer.

Dalla quarta di copertina
Patrick Süskind's Perfume is a classic novel of death and sensuality in Paris, published as a Penguin Essential for the first time.
'In eighteenth-century France there lived a man who was one of the most gifted and abominable personages in an era that knew no lack of gifted and abominable personages. His name was Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, and if his name has been forgotten today, it is certainly not because Grenouille fell short of those more famous blackguards when it came to arrogance, misanthropy, immorality, or, more succinctly, wickedness, but because his gifts and his sole ambition were restricted to a domain that leaves no traces in history: to the fleeting realm of scent . . .'
