商品簡介
徐四金可說是德國近來最受歡迎的作家，他的名作《香水》在台推出以來叫好叫座，
《香水》的主角葛奴乙是個嗅覺天才，所有氣味都要向他俯首稱臣，但他卻聞不到自己的氣味，因為他身上沒有屬於人類的、生命力的味道。有評論家指出，葛奴乙其實是希特勒的另一版本，徐四金也坦承納粹的影響深植心中。但美國知名小說家約翰‧厄普戴克許稱許此書「以氣味重構的世界，是迷人的致命一擊」。
已被改編拍成電影，由『蘿拉快跑』國際名導演執導，影帝達斯汀霍夫曼主演，是德國電影史上斥資最巨的作品。
這本以嗅覺為主題的長篇小說，在德國甫出版便賣出四十萬冊，並連續九年登上德國《明鏡週刊》暢銷書排行榜，更風靡了全世界，被翻譯成四十二種語文版本，全球銷量已逾一千五百萬冊，迄今仍是最暢銷的文學作品之一！
