Patrick Süskind (born March 26, 1949) is a German writer and screenwriter.
He was born in Ambach am Starnberger See, near Munich in Germany. His father was Wilhelm Emanuel Süskind. He studied Medieval and Modern History at the University of Munich and in Aix-en-Provence from 1968-1974. In the 1980s he worked as a screenwriter, for "Kir Royal" and "Monaco Franze" among others. His best known work is the internationally acclaimed bestseller Perfume: The Story of a Murderer (1985). He is also the author of a play, The Double Bass (1980), a novella, The Pigeon (1988), The Story of Mr. Sommer (1991), Three Stories and a Reflection (1996), and a collection of essays, On Love and Death (2006). For a number of seasons, The Double Bass was a leading piece on German stages.
Süskind lives in Munich, and rarely grants interviews.
An acclaimed bestseller and international sensation, Patrick Suskind's classic novel provokes a terrifying examination of what happens when one man's indulgence in his greatest passion—his sense of smell—leads to murder.
In the slums of eighteenth-century France, the infant Jean-Baptiste Grenouille is born with one sublime gift-an absolute sense of smell. As a boy, he lives to decipher the odors of Paris, and apprentices himself to a prominent perfumer who teaches him the ancient art of mixing precious oils and herbs. But Grenouille's genius is such that he is not satisfied to stop there, and he becomes obsessed with capturing the smells of objects such as brass doorknobs and frest-cut wood. Then one day he catches a hint of a scent that will drive him on an ever-more-terrifying quest to create the "ultimate perfume"—the scent of a beautiful young virgin. Told with dazzling narrative brillance, Perfume is a hauntingly powerful tale of murder and sensual depravity.

金庸的《天龙八部》里,一干人等去应征西夏国驸马,西夏公主的使女问了众人三个问题: ——你生平最快乐的地方在哪里? ——你最爱的人是谁? ——她叫什么? 三个问题里,第一个问题的答案最为有趣。 段誉听到问题后脱口而出:“在一口枯井的烂...
評分曾经和友人说过,文学作品好比一些树,有躯干有枝叶有花朵,有坚硬厚实的部分也有轻灵飘逸的部分。但最精妙的部分在花香——明明强烈地触动人心,却无迹可寻。香气穿透人的感官神经,进入记忆,进入虚无。一刹那你仿佛回到很久以前停留过的一个地方,见到一个很想遇见却无法谋...
評分《香水:一个谋杀犯的故事》就要被搬上银幕了,《看电影》杂志上这么说的,而且很别致地把作者的名字翻译为徐四金。我怀疑电影怕无法拍出小说里的味道,好像从来烂小说都被拍成了好电影,如《阿甘正传》;好小说都被拍成了烂电影,如《玫瑰的名字》(又名《魔宫传奇》),连肖...
評分几年前看的这个小说,看了豆瓣上的评论,有些不平,抒发抒发。 当他们后来敢于这么做,起先是偷偷地、后来则是完全公开地相互对现时,他们不禁破涕为笑。他们感到特别自豪。他们第一次出于爱而做了一点事情。 这是小说的结尾。 聚斯金德实在太酷了,因为他把所有的矛盾、隐...
