This translation originally published: London: Hamish Hamilton, 1986.
Born in sweaty, fetid 18th-century Paris, Grenouille is distinctive even in infancy. He has a sense of smell more powerful than any other human's and no personal odour. Süskind develops this idea into a tale of murder controlled by a loathing of humanity.
