Publisher's summary

Quizá los olores evoquen el privilegio de la invisibilidad. Antes del tacto, sucede el olor, como mensajero de una esencia que sabe desaparecer en el aire y ser agente de un gran poder. La seducción que despliega el olor es implacable: se instala en nosotros y sella su poderío en los tejidos de la memoria.

Jean-Baptiste Grenouille tiene su marca de nacimiento: no despide ningún olor y por ello hace temer la presencia de algún demonio. Al mismo tiempo posee un don excepcional: un olfato prodigioso que le permite percibir todos los olores del mundo.

Desde la miseria en que nace, abandonado al cuidado de unos monjes, Jean-Baptiste Grenouille lucha contra su condición y escala posiciones sociales convirtiéndose en un afamado perfumista. Crea perfumes capaces de hacerle pasar inadvertido o inspirar simpatía, amor, compasión... Para obtener estas fórmulas magistrales debe asesinar a jóvenes muchachas vírgenes, obtener sus fluidos corporales y licuar sus olores íntimos. Su arte se convierte en una suprema e inquietante prestidigitacion.

Patrick Süskind, convertido en maestro del naturalismo irónico, nos transmite una visión ácida y desengañada del hombre en un libro repleto de sabiduría olfativa, imaginación y enorme amenidad. Su persuasión iguala la de su personaje y nos propone una inmersión literaria en el arco iris natural de los olores y en los turbadores abismos del espíritu humano.

Language usage

Very interesting and unusual plot. The book is undoubtedly a great and unique read. The ending however seemed a bit abrupt and far fetched. Otherwise a fenomenal writing.

Recordando!

Este libro lo ley hace 22 años y me fascinó a la vez que horrorizo lo descriptivo de algunas escenas.
Después lo vi en película y me dejó un sabor amargo, si muy apegado al original, pero me quedo a deber un poco.
Hoy lo escucho y lo vuelvo a disfrutar, a vivir capitulo a capitulo.
Sencillamente me encanta!!!
Y la narración es estupenda.

Mixed feelings

I like the interpretation and the story is very well structured, keep your attention. I just don’t like the horror, is a very dark story and only show sick and pervert side of a human been.
I would no recommend unless you like to heard nauseous stories.
