*Das Parfum*, a contemporary novel, which at first sight stands out for the extensive and astonishing descriptions it contains, hides behind it the story of a young man who lives submerged in the misery of his own being due to his inability to love and the profound social and family rejection that has accompanied him throughout his life. The existential emptiness, the craving for power, the loneliness, the identity problem of the subject and many other aspects emerge from the work in a discreet but at the same time shocking way, where in any case it is not difficult to end up feeling.

Una storia geniale, con uno dei protagonisti più negativi che abbia mai incontrato, terribile ma al tempo stesso magnifico. La storia ti cattura dalla prima all'ultima pagina con continui cambi di rotta, quando credi di aver capito il verso della storia ecco che tutto cambia fino allo splendido finale.
Assolutamente da leggere!!!
An odd book. The world 18th century Paris comes to life with vivid description of scent.
