The perfume: The story of a killer, author: Patrick Süskind

In an era not lacking geniuses and scoundrels, lived in France in the eighteenth century a man of the most genius and scoundrelly stature. A man whose story will be narrated here. His name was Jean-Baptiste Grenouille. And if his name has become forgotten, unlike the names of other scoundrelly geniuses such as de Sade, Saint-Jost, Fouché, Napoleon, and others, it is not because he was more arrogant or contemptuous of humanity nor immoral than them, but because his genius and obsession were confined to a field that leaves only a little trace in history, which is the field of fragrant scents.
