Patrick Süskind

Ein rares Meisterwerk zeitgenössischer Prosa, eine dicht gesponnene, psychologisch raffiniert umgesetzte Erzählung, die an die frühen Stücke von Patricia Highsmith erinnert, in ihrer Kunstfertigkeit aber an die Novellistik großer europäischer Erzähltradition anknüpft.

O perfume

Michael Hofmann

A boy's village childhood with all the traditional attributes - father, mother, brother, sister, a house on a lake, tree-climbing, going to the races, music lessons, a bicycle, a crush on a girl in the class - is bedevilled by the mystifying appearances of the eccentric Mr. Sommer. Moving through the landscape in silent haste, like a man possessed, with his empty rucksack and his long, odd-looking walking stick, Mr Sommer runs like a black thread through the boys days.

عن الحب والموت

Lorsque lui arriva cette histoire de pigeon qui, du jour au lendemain, bouleversa son existence, Jonathan Noël avait déjà dépassé la cinquantaine, il avait derrière lui une période d'une bonne vingtaine d'années qui n'avait pas été marquée par le moindre événement, et jamais il n'aurait escompté que pût encore lui arriver rien de notable, sauf de mourir un jour.
Et cela lui convenait tout à fait. Car il n'aimait pas les événements, et il avait une véritable horreur de ceux qui ébranlaient son équilibre intérieur et chamboulaient l'ordonnance de sa vie.
