books by Patrick Suskind     books:       The Double Bass5 reviews Patrick Suskind Hamish Hamilton Ltd, 1987 Better than Perfume Have only seen the play twice. I desperatly want this book. So quickly republish this book.             Perfume (International Writers)6 reviews Patrick Suskind Penguin Books Ltd, 1989 Deliciously decadent. This lusciously depicted novel is both a vivid evocation of life in eighteenth century Paris and an homage to the least celebrated of our senses--that of smell. In language so onomatopoetic it must have been an almost insuperable challenge for the translator, Suskind tells the tale of Grenouille (Frog), an orphan on the streets of Paris whose hard life would have destroyed a less single-minded ...             El Perfume (Campana De Verano 05)1 review Patrick Suskind Seix Barral, 2006 A DAZZLING AND COMPELLING NOVEL... This is the Spanish Test edition of a beautifully written novel, "Perfume". Ingenious in its conception and carefully crafted, the author has created a unique and dazzling work of fiction. Divided into three parts, the book tells the story of a most unusual life, that of Jean-Baptiste Grenouille. The first part of the book establishes that he was born to a woman who was hung from a gibbet for ...             El Perfume1 review Patrick Suskind Editorial Seix Barral, 2003 AN INGENIOUS AND DAZZLING WORK OF FICTION... This is the Spanish text edition of a novel so beautifully written that it transcends into literature. Ingenious in its conception and carefully crafted, the author has created a unique and dazzling work of fiction. Divided into three parts, the book tells the story of a most unusual life, that of Jean-Baptiste Grenouille. The first part of the book establishes that he was born to a woman who ...             Die Taube1 review Patrick Suskind Diogenes, 1987 Home is where the heart is It's a pity that Patrick Süskind has been so defined by Das Parfum. Die Taube is a little gem that is much more interesting in its own way. Its protagonist is about as different from the morbid anti-hero of the Das Parfum as is possible. The hero, as the author tells us, started off life with a series of surprises. Nasty ones. He loses first one parent, then the other. Then he's cuckolded into ...             El Perfume1 review Patrick Suskind Planeta, 2004 A DAZZLING AND COMPELLING NOVEL... This is a beautifully written novel. Ingenious in its conception and carefully crafted, the author has created a unique and dazzling work of fiction. Divided into three parts, the book tells the story of a most unusual life, that of Jean-Baptiste Grenouille. The first part of the book establishes that he was born to a woman who was hung from a gibbet for having left him to die. It turns out ...             Three Stories and a Reflection2 reviews Patrick Suskind Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, 1997 Another great Suskind book. This book is really short. The one I got is a little hardcover copy and it's about 80 pages and written in huge font with huge margins. But what little there is is great. One of my favorite things in Perfume is that scientist Grenouille runs into after coming out of the cave, and his theory about the earth emiting toxins, if you read the book you know what I'm talking about. I thought that ...             Story of Mr Sommer2 reviews Patrick Suskind Bloomsbury Pub Ltd, London, 1992 a easy book with a deep meaning This book is written in a childish style, using normal words and some great artist pictures to describe some deep meanings, which are impressed me very much. I always send this book to a friend as a gift, because I believe it is absolutely interesting to them. After reading this book, the feeling is just like that: I finished a taoist dream.             Mr. Summer's Story3 reviews Patrick Suskind Knopf, 1993 The most enjoyable book I've ever read. My latest out of print Suskind book finally arived today and I tore through the packaging which I let fall to the floor and I sat down and would not get up until it was finished. I had to stop every couple pages and pound the table and laugh and shake my head. When I got about halfway through, I had to get up and walk around and compose myself before continuing. I was walking around wiping my ...             Le Parfum2 reviews Patrick Suskind French & European Pubns, 2006 A DAZZLING AND UNIQUE WORK OF FICTION... This is the French text edition of "Perfume: The Story of a Murderer", a novel so beautifully written that it transcends into literature. Ingenious in its conception and carefully crafted, the author has created a unique and dazzling work of fiction. Divided into three parts, the book tells the story of a most unusual life, that of Jean-Baptiste Grenouille. The first part of the book ...             El Perfume / Perfume: Historia de un asesino / the Story of a Murderer1 review Patrick Suskind Booket, 2006 una maravilla el perfume una historia fasinante cautivadoraaa,violenta y un tipo de amor diferente alas demas historiaa.... es una historia que conmueve a pesar de tratar de un asesino             Le Pigeon17 reviews Patrick Süskind Fayard, 1987 Oh man, we need more from Suskind. I had to get a copy of The Pigeon used after reading Perfume. I read it in one sitting. It's such a gem. I don't know how many pages go by where the main character is just standing in front of this bank thinking, not doing anything. It's riveting. He eats a meal towards the end of the book and I've never read such tasty descriptions of food. And rain, and peeing in the tub, and ripping your ...             Maitre Mussard's Bequest (Bloomsbury Birthday Quids)1 review Patrick Suskind Bloomsbury Publishing PLC, 1996 Another gem from Suskind I don't know how to describe the contents of this tiny book but more it's effects on me. Suskind is one of those rare authors who, when you read him seems normal enough but his writing stays with you, changing how you see the world. This book is written by Maitre Mussard on his death bed as he feels the need to share his knowledge about the world. I won't ruin his bizarre theory for the reader ...             Perfume16 reviews Patrick Suskind Vintage, 2006 Olfactory-licious! 'Olfactory'- 'to have a smell', a word that is used quite a bit in this novel. I had no idea what it meant until I read this novel. Sounds boring? Not on your life. The protagonist in this novel was a classic SICKO! No, as the author accurately described him, he was a 'tick'. This book had me up late at night anxious to read more about the obsessiveness of this character. The author's style of ...             On Love and Death3 reviews Patrick Suskind Overlook / Rookery Trade Paperback, 2006 Another great Suskind book... I am a great fan of Suskind's work, ever since I read "Perfume" and afterwards, after I read "The Pigeon", there is something compelling about his style; it's equal parts dark and illuminating, it showcases human emotion and makes a point of engaging all your senses into the reading experience. I am sometimes reminded of Kafka's "Metamorphosis" when I've read Suskind, and in this particular ...             El perfume402 reviews Patrick Suskind Booket, 1998 A scentillating examination of a murderer`s mind! Humans that are deprived of one or more of the senses naturally compensate by focusing and overdeveloping the remaining senses. Suskind brilliantly chose to deprive Grenouille of something other than senses, the ability to be recognized. I don't believe any human in history had a complete absence of a body scent, whether it's a pleasant or unpleasant one; we all associate places, loved ones, ...             Il Profumo (Gaja Scienza)1 review Patrick Suskind Longanesi, 1998 A DAZZLING AND INGENIOUS WORK OF FICTION... This is the Italian text edition of "Perfume: The Story of a Murderer", a novel so beautifully written that it transcends into literature.

The first part of the book ...             El Perfume/ the Perfum: Historia De Un Asesiono1 review Patrick Suskind Booket, 2006 La historia alucinantes y obsesiva de un Asesino del siglo XVIII. Un buen amigo me comento que hacer una pelicula de este libro seria una tarea muy dificil,el mismo Stanley Kubrick solia decir que este libro no podia ser adaptado al cine, esto me llamo mucho lo atencion por esta obra,ya que por si tratar de describir olores debe ser toda una proesa, mientras que para Hollywood es una tarea muy facil plasmarlo de manera visual, Patrick Suskind lo a logrado de ...             ADFC-Radtourenkarte 03 Ostseeküste / Mecklenburg 1 : 150 000 Patrick Süskind BVA Bielefelder Verlag, 2002             Das Parfum11 reviews Patrick Süskind Auer Verlag GmbH, 2007 A DAZZLING AND INGENIOUS WORK OF FICTION....
