Publisher Description

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.

LandonOK ,

Okay

Great book but the ending was very disapointing. No matter how strange it got, I couldnt seem to put it down!

Clearly Trevor ,

Shocking and Masterful

Shocking and masterful. A griping allegory of the Holocaust that leaves you stunned and puzzled. Yann uses a multitude of literary devices to personify suffering in a masterful way. The depth of emotion this story evokes, especially the prompts with “Games for Gustave” at the end is both harrowing and solid ground for philosophical discussion.
