第一章
《
香水》是德国作家帕特里克·聚斯金德创作的额一部小说，于

< br>年出版，
它构思奇特，寓意深刻，小说《香水》出版前先在《法兰克福总汇报》上

书中讲述了一个发生在
18
世纪巴黎的故
事，主人公格雷诺耶生在巴黎的一个臭
鱼摊子，
但天生对香水有
着匪夷所思的辨别能力，
为了制作香水，
他杀害了二十
六名少女，以摄取其香味。《香水》写于上世纪
80
年代，当时现代小说正走入
过于观念化、晦涩难懂的死胡同，而《香水》的古典式写
法、生动和抓人的情节
成了西方小说界的一剂解毒针。
《香水》
一诞生就引领了新的小说潮流。被人们
誉为“20
世纪最著名德
国小说。人的感官当中，嗅觉的有效范围并不狭窄
(
比味
觉和触觉广，几乎和视觉听觉差不多
)
，但缺
乏交流和沟通。美食当前会兴奋，
在公交车里的浓郁女士旁边也会兴奋，除此之外少有嗅
觉的激动。
《香水》是第
一部以气味为主人公的伟大作品。奉为
经典的那段：“在我们所说的那个时代，
各个城市里始终弥漫着我们现代人难以想象的臭
气。??”

THE
STORY OF A MURDERER
Translated from the
German by John E. Woods
Originally
published in German as Das Parfum
PART I
One
IN
EIGHTEENTH--CENTURY France there lived a man who
was one of the most
gifted and
abominable personages in an era that knew no lack
of gifted
and abominable personages.
His story will be told here. His name was
Jean--Baptiste Grenouille, and if his
name--in contrast to the names of
other
gifted abominations, de Sade's, for instance, or
Saint--Just's,
Fbuche's, Bonaparte's,
etc.--has been forgotten today, it is certainly
not because Grenouille fell short of
those more famous blackguards when
it
came to arrogance, misanthropy, immorality, or,
more succinctly, to
wickedness, but
because his gifts and his sole ambition were
restricted
to a domain that leaves no
traces in history: to the fleeting realm of
scent.
In
the
period
of
which
we
speak,
there
reigned
in
the
cities
a
stench
barely
conceivable to us
modern
men and women.
The
streets stank
of manure, the
courtyards of urine, the stairwells
stank of mouldering wood and rat
droppings, the kitchens of spoiled
cabbage and mutton fat; the unaired
parlours stank of stale dust, the
bedrooms of greasy sheets, damp
featherbeds, and the pungently sweet
aroma of chamber pots.
The stench of
sulphur
rose from the
chimneys, the stench
of
caustic lyes
from the tanneries, and
from the slaughterhouses came the stench of
congealed blood. People stank of sweat
and unwashed clothes; from their
mouths
came
the
stench
of
rotting
teeth,
from
their
bellies
that
of
onions,
and
from
their
bodies,
if
they
were
no
longer
very
young,
came
the
stench
of rancid cheese and
sour milk and tumorous disease. The rivers stank,
