Delightful, worthy of amazement - this is how you can appreciate the works of the famous German prose writer and playwright Patrick Suskind. Of particular interest is the action-packed romantic detective story “Fragrance”. The underlying metaphor of smell as a universal subconscious, all-encompassing connection between people allows us to assume an infinite number of interpretations. The stories “Dove”, “Double Bass”, “The Story of Mr. Sommer” are filled with subtle psychologism, humor and reflect the writer’s original view of the surrounding reality.
