Yann Martel
Fate takes many forms. 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 treasured, 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.

Commentaires
"A provocative and fiercely brave novel. It grips the reader with teeth as sharp as a Bengal tiger's" (John Boyne)
"A sophisticated fable...Beatrice and Virgil is so imbued with passionate moral and intellectual ardor that even the cynical should find it engaging."
"It's a masterpiece, no question." (A N Wilson)
"An explosion of ideas that keep the pages turning...a wild, provocative novel"
"Audaciously original, never less than engrossing, often disturbing, and in its denouement truly horrifying." (Mick Brown)
"A slim but potent exploration of the nature of survival in the face of evil." (Nina Sankovitch)
"It is awe-inspiring when a writer hits a high note; goes dancing along the edge of something; hurls himself against enormous questions again and again...Writers such as Martel are a kind of human sacrifice. It cannot be easy to imagine a way into suffering, come out, lead others into it and through it."
"For page after page it held my attention, and the atmosphere of foreboding is impressively done."
"Imaginative and innovative novel about the Holocaust, including taxidermists, talking donkeys and the best ever description of a pear. It's weird, wonderful and impressively short."
"Strikingly impressive . . . It is the kind of book that you can read only in short bursts, while telling yourself that you will re-read it immediately . . . It has the wit, charm and hectic strangeness of a painting by Chagall."
"Sings with rich and bleak poetry."
