This German edition of Patrick Süskind’s celebrated novel “Perfume: The Story of a Murderer” offers collectors a chance to own a well-preserved copy of a modern classic. Published in 1985, this dark and haunting tale follows the life of Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, a man born with an extraordinary sense of smell in 18th-century France. Süskind’s vivid prose immerses readers in the gritty, pungent world of pre-revolutionary Paris, exploring themes of obsession, societal outcasts, and the intersection of beauty and monstrosity. Despite its disturbing subject matter, the novel was an international bestseller and cemented Süskind’s reputation as a master of psychological suspense. This hardcover edition, though showing some wear on the dust jacket, remains in good condition overall, with clean pages and a secure binding – a solid addition to any collector’s library of influential German literature from the late 20th century.
