The Perfume of Adam
the Perfume of Adam is a novel of Jean-Christophe Rufin, published at Flammarion in 2007.
In this novel, Jean-Christophe Rufin leads us of Poland to the United States, while passing by France, to Brazil which this author knows well. At the manner of the spy novels, it puts in scene the investigations of a private agency which tries to uncover the intentions of an organization of ecologists extremists: serious threats of bacteriological attacks plane on the world.
In this work of fiction, one finds the same narrative techniques employed in his preceding works, namely alternation from point of view: the narrator places himself according to the prospect for Juliette, the young ecologist, or according to that of Paul Matisse, doctor and spy. As the dramatic tension increases, the change of focusing occurs even chapters inside.
