Das Parfum, a contemporary novel, which at first sight stands out for the extensive and astonishing descriptions it contains, hides behind it the story of a young man who lives submerged in the misery of his own being due to his inability to love and the profound social and family rejection that has accompanied him throughout his life. The existential emptiness, the craving for power, the loneliness, the identity problem of the subject and many other aspects emerge from the work in a discreet but at the same time shocking way, where in any case it is not difficult to end up feeling.
