«Beatrice and Virgil» is the contemporary fiction novel by Yann Martel, published by Canongate Books in paperback (224 pages, in English).
Henry, a writer, receives a letter from an elderly taxidermist with a riddle he cannot resist. As he delves into the world of that strange and calculating man, a donkey and a howler monkey named Beatrice and Virgil appear; Henry's journey leads him to reflect on truth, art, and a decisive episode of the twentieth century.
