Editorial reviews

Genie und Monster - Die duftende Welt des Jean-Baptiste Grenouille

Nichts an Patrick Süskinds "Das Parfum" ist gewöhnlich. Weder die Hauptfigur Jean-Baptiste Grenouille mit ihrem perfekten Geruchssinn. Noch die Geschichte seines Lebens, in der Mord so beiläufig ist wie ein angenehmer Duft. Dieser Klassiker der Weltliteratur verführt vom ersten bis zum letzten Wort - und fordert die Sinne auf außergewöhnliche Weise heraus.

Im ungekürzten Hörbuch gelingt es Sprecher Hans Korte, die Ohren in eine Nase zu verwandeln. Seine zurückhaltende, beinahe anachronistische Sprechweise malt die Düfte und Handlungsorte in genau den Farben, die Süskinds Worte beabsichtigen. Du riechst den Dreck der Pariser Straßen, schnüffelst den Duft des Mädchens mit den Mirabellen und tauchst immer tiefer in die Gedankenwelt Grenouilles ab.

Am Ende von "Das Parfum" wirst du Gerüche auf eine völlig neue Weise wahrnehmen - und über eine Hauptfigur nachgrübeln, bei der Genie und Monstrosität sehr nah beieinander liegen.

Critic reviews

Ebenso verführerisch wie der Literaturklassiker und seine Verfilmung ist die Audioversion von Süskinds Weltbestseller "Das Parfum". In der ungekürzten Lesung lässt Sprecher Hans Korte durch die präzisen Beschreibungen und seine Sprachmelodie die Düfte wahrlich strömen.
--Schwarzwälder Bote

Hans Korte schafft es, Duft wie Gestank ins Ohr zu schmuggeln. Nuancenreich liest er die packende Geschichte des Parfumeurs Jean-Baptiste Grenouille.
--Nordbayerischer Kurier

The Perfect Audiobook

I don't usually write reviews, but "Das Parfüm" stands out by a mile! Süsskind created a unique character and a fantastic story in the very sense of the word. I listened to the whole book in 2 days and will probably re-listen again and again. The performance by Hans Korte was intuitive, engaged, and engaging. At times I was taken so deeply into the story and the world created by Süsskind and "painted" by Korte that I competely forgot my surroundings. Of course, fluency in German is a prerequisite.

This is one of my favorite books perfectly read

The book and performance are amazing. Have read it several times. The narrator makes it even better. The voice fits the words no well. Fun fact: Also Kurt Cobain's favorite book.
