'I've long wished perfumery to be taken seriously as an art, and for scent critics to be as fierce as opera critics, and for the wearers of certain "fragrances" to be hissed in public, while others are cheered. This year has brought Perfumes: The Guide by Luca Turin and Tania Sanchez, which I breathed in, rather than read, in one delighted gulp.' Hilary Mantel, Guardian Perfumes: The Guide is the culmination of Turin's lifelong obsession and rare scientific flair and Sanchez's stylish and devoted blogging about every scent that she's ever loved and loathed. Together they make a fine and utterly persuasive argument for the unrecognised craft of perfume-making. Perfume writing has certainly never been this honest, compelling or downright entertaining.
Anatole France's 'The Crime of Sylvestre Bonnard' is a captivating novel that delves into the life of an aging scholar who becomes obsessed with solving a centuries-old mystery. Written in a lyrical and poetic style, the novel blends elements of detective fiction with intellectual introspection, making it a unique and thought-provoking read. Set in the late 19th century, the book reflects the author's deep understanding of French literature and intellectual history, providing a rich tapestry of cultural references and philosophical insights. Through Bonnard's quest for truth, readers are taken on a journey of self-discovery and enlightenment, challenging their perceptions of morality and justice. Anatole France, a Nobel Prize-winning author known for his literary craftsmanship and social commentary, draws upon his own experiences as a scholar and thinker to create a compelling narrative that transcends time and place. 'The Crime of Sylvestre Bonnard' is recommended for readers who enjoy intricate mysteries, philosophical musings, and beautifully crafted prose.
