Beatrice and Virgil [electronic resource] : A Novel. Yann Martel.

Martel, Yann. (Author).

Summary:

BONUS: This edition contains a Beatrice and Virgil discussion guide. When Henry receives a letter from an elderly taxidermist, it poses a puzzle that he cannot resist. As he is pulled further into the world of this strange and calculating man, Henry becomes increasingly involved with the lives of a donkey and a howler monkey—named  Beatrice and Virgil —and the epic journey they undertake together. With all the spirit and originality that made  Life of Pi  so beloved, this brilliant new novel takes the reader on a haunting odyssey. On the way Martel asks profound questions about life and art, truth and deception, responsibility and complicity.
