Chuyện Một Kẻ Giết Người
Patrick Süskind
Als gefeierter Bestseller und internationale Sensation führt Patrick Süskinds klassischer Roman erschreckend vor Augen, was geschieht, wenn sich ein Mann seiner größten Leidenschaft – seinem Geruchssinn – hingibt und dies zum Mord führt. In den Elendsvierteln des Frankreichs des 18. Jahrhunderts wird Jean-Baptiste Grenouille mit einer erhabenen Gabe geboren: einem absoluten Geruchssinn. Als Junge lebt er dafür, die Gerüche von Paris zu entschlüsseln, und geht bei einem angesehenen Parfümeur in die Lehre, der ihn in der alten Kunst des Mischens kostbarer Öle und Kräuter unterweist. Doch Grenouilles Genie genügt sich damit nicht, und er wird davon besessen, die Gerüche von Gegenständen wie Messingtürklinken und frisch geschnittenem Holz einzufangen. Dann erhascht er eines Tages eine Spur eines Duftes, die ihn auf eine immer furchterregendere Suche nach der Schaffung des „ultimativen Parfums“ treiben wird – dem Duft einer schönen jungen Jungfrau. Mit schillernder erzählerischer Brillanz erzählt, ist Das Parfum eine beklemmend kraftvolle Geschichte von Mord und sinnlicher Verderbtheit.
Anne Frank'ın Hatıra Defteri
1947
Anne Frank
Discovered in the attic in which she spent the last years of her life, Anne Frank’s remarkable diary has become a world classic—a powerful reminder of the horrors of war and an eloquent testament to the human spirit. In 1942, with the Nazis occupying Holland, a thirteen-year-old Jewish girl and her family fled their home in Amsterdam and went into hiding. For the next two years, until their whereabouts were betrayed to the Gestapo, the Franks and another family lived cloistered in the “Secret Annexe” of an old office building. Cut off from the outside world, they faced hunger, boredom, the constant cruelties of living in confined quarters, and the ever-present threat of discovery and death. In her diary Anne Frank recorded vivid impressions of her experiences during this period. By turns thoughtful, moving, and surprisingly humorous, her account offers a fascinating commentary on human courage and frailty and a compelling self-portrait of a sensitive and spirited young woman whose promise was tragically cut short. —back cover
The Sorrows of Young Werther
1774
Ellen Palmer
This is Goethe's first novel, published in 1774. Written in diary form, it tells the tale of an unhappy, passionate young man hopelessly in love with Charlotte, the wife of a friend - a man who he alternately admires and detests. 'The Sorrows of Young Werther' became an important part of the 'Sturm und Drang movement, and greatly influenced later 'Romanticism'. The work is semi-autobiographical - in 1772, two years before the novel was published, Goethe had passed through a similar tempestuous period, when he lost his heart to Charlotte Buff, who was at that time engaged to his friend Johann Christian Kestner.
