PERFUME
How could the story of an eccentric 18th-century murderer fascinate so many readers? It's all about the desire for recognition, to be loved, to be seen, to be somebody and the idea that there's a genius hiding in everyone, and if it were unleashed, the world would be stunned! It's a myth we all carry within ourselves. Based on the best-selling novel by Patrick Suskind, "Perfume-The Story of a Murderer" is a story of a deadly obsession set in 18th-century France. Jean Baptiste Grenouille, orphaned as a newborn in the streets of Paris, is alone in the world. A peculiar child who rarely speaks, Grenouille is alienated from others but blessed with a remarkable gift. His sense of smell is so refined, so attuned to every blade of grass and blossoming flower, that it's tragic when he's sold into servitude to a tannery at the age of 13. But there comes a day when Jean-Baptiste discovers the object that will transform his life: perfume. Eager to learn the art of creating sophisticated fragrance, he proves to be a savant whose almost mystical knowledge of scent surpasses anything that can be taught to him by masters of the craft. When he discovers the most intoxicating scent he has ever experienced-the natural fragrance of a beautiful young girl-he learns that the only method to preserve her innocence and fresh beauty will require murder. The novel has sold over 15 million copies worldwide, has been translated into 45 languages(even Latin) and continues to appear on "must read" lists in publications such as Oprah and In Style.
