五個娛樂性十足的短篇小說，故事背景設定在不同國家，但故事主題都和「發現」（Discovery）有關。有一款香水用特殊的配方調製而成，而它的效用超出了原先的預期…。在某個尋常婦人身上發生了一些改變，而這個改變也讓她的家庭陷入抉擇的難題之中…。有一個教師發現了讓時間暫時停止的秘密…。有一個經理人找到一本書，書中似乎有一切問題的答案，但是他漸漸發現，這本書也讓他知道了一些他並不想知道的事…。
Five stories about discovery – a perfume that attracts men, a book that shows people’s thoughts, a remarkable change in an old woman’s life, the secret of high intelligence, and a way of making time stand still – make up this entertaining collection.
