Beatrice And Virgil (Pb) – Yann Martel|About the Book: Beatrice and Virgil Haunting, unforgettable and searingly original novel! Henry, an acclaimed writer, receives a letter from an elderly taxidermist that poses an irresistible puzzle. As he is pulled into the world of this strange and calculating man, Henry becomes involved with the lives of a donkey and a howler monkey-named Beatrice and Virgil-the taxidermist’s ‘guides through hell’. Together the three embark on an epic journey.
