This printing also has a barcode on the back panel. ***Near fine in olive green cloth-covered boards with gilt titles on a paper label to the spine. Tail of spine slightly creased. Very small creases to the lower edge of the front board. The boards are very thin. Corners sharp. Boards clean and unmarked. Maps of Paris illustrate the front and rear free endpapers and pastedowns.

Dustwrapper bright. ***190mm x125mm. 320 pages. ***'This is the story of one Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, born under a fishmonger's bloody slab in eighteenth-century Paris. For his brutal birth signals the beginning of one of the strangest lives ever imagined, and a career of very violent genius. ***As a human being, Grenouille is handicapped from the start, and at the same time outstandingly gifted. His mother is executed for murder. Wet nurses refuse to nurse him. In the orphanage other boys shun him. But as he grows up in isolation two facts begin to dawn on him. One is that he is blessed with an extraordinarily sharp sense of smell. The other - the cause of his rejection - is that he has no smell of his own. Then a chance meeting with an ageing parfumier on the Pont au Change, during which he exactly replicates a perfume for the old man, sets Grenouille on the road to fame. And on the bloody part of murder. ***Part fable, part surreal fantasy, part novel of suspense, Perfume: The Story of a Murderer is the work of a brilliant talent. The originality of the story, the dynamo of the writing, the supremely sensual grasp of one man's secret world, make it a novel worthy of comparison with the great European masters.' (Quote taken from the inside front flap of the dustwrapper of the first British edition) ***A later printing of the first edition in German, complete in its original dustwrapper, in very nice bright collectable condition. Ideal for someone who wants to read this classic work in the original language. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.

Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Near Fine. 1st Edition. Published by Hamish Hamilton, London; 1986. 186pp. 8vo. First UK edition, first impression. Condition: Near Fine/Near Fine. Bound in original black cloth boards with title in gilt to the spine. The binding is square and tight and in excellent condition, with no signs of damage or marks. Inside, there is some toning to the pages, but they are otherwise clean and bright, free from blemishes or wear. The book is housed in its equally smart, first issue dust jacket. It is in lovely condition, with no marking or damage to speak of. The price has been clipped, but this is the only point to note. In all, this is an exceptional example of the scarce UK first edition of one of the best-selling German novels of the 20th century. It was published one year after the German first edition, translated to English by John E. Woods. It is particularly hard to come by in as smart condition as this. It tells the tale of Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, whose brutal birth signals the beginning of one of the strangest lives ever imagined, and a career of very violent genius. After his mother is executed for murder, he grows up isolated and rejected by everyone in an orphanage, aware of two things. One is that he is blessed with an extraordinarily sharp sense of smell. The other - the cause for his rejection - is that he has no smell of his own. He becomes obsessed by smell, and the mayhem he causes. Part fable, part surreal fantasy, part novel of suspense, this novel is the work of a brilliant talent. The originality of the story, the dynamo of the writing, the supremely sensual grasp of one man's secret world, make it a novel worthy of comparison with the great European masters (blurb).
