About this product

Product Information

Patrick S skind's Perfume is a classic novel of death and sensuality in Paris '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 . . .' 'An astonishing tour de force both in concept and execution' Guardian 'A fantastic tale of murder and twisted eroticism controlled by a disgusted loathing of humanity ... Clever, stylish, absorbing and well worth reading' Literary Review 'A meditation on the nature of death, desire and decay ... a remarkable debut' Peter Ackroyd, The New York Times Book Review 'Unlike anything else one has read. A phenomenon ... Everyone seems to want to get a whiff of this strange perfume, which will remain unique in contemporary literature' Figaro 'An ingenious and totally absorbing fantasy' Daily Telegraph 'Witty, stylish and ferociously absorbing' Observer Patrick S skind was born near Munich, in 1949. He studied medieval and modern history at the University of Munich. His first play, The Double Bass, was written in 1980 and became an international success. His first novel, Perfume, became an internationally acclaimed bestseller. He is also the author of The Pigeon and Mr. Summer's Story, and a coauthor of the enormously successful German television series Kir Royal. Patrick S skind lives and writes in Munich.

Floppy
I thought I would love this book but no a read more than half I forced myself to and I hated it so had to just put it down I have actually gave the book away I wouldn’t even let it collect dust what a boring read cover is beautiful though but the content is boring and not gripping at all

Boring waste of money
I bought this book as I liked the idea of the story. I found the book ,from the start very boring and gave up reading it after the first few pages. I tried again to read it after a few days ,without success. I think it is the only book I have bought ,and I read a lot, that I have had to give up on. It is a unique story but I could not get interested in it because of the convoluted way in which it is written. I cannot say I found it had any redeeming qualities and that is said after I had tried three times to read it. I would not recommend it.
