For those interested in the olfactory world, there is this beautiful novel „Perfume: The Story of a Murderer” by Patrick Süskind. I read it as a teenager and it changed my world. Unfortunately, the title already suggests that the English translation may not be as good as the original in German.
- war1025 8y agoThey made a movie a few years back based on this novel. It was pretty good from what I remember.
