About the Book

This is the story of an extraordinary journey undertaken by a man named Henry. It begins with a mysterious parcel. It ends in a place that will make you think again about one of the most significant events of the twentieth century. It also involves a howler monkey, a donkey, an enigmatic taxidermist, and a dog named Erasmus. Once you have finished reading it, it is impossible to forget.

Review :
* A provocative and fiercely brave novel. It grips the reader with teeth as sharp as a Bengal tiger's -- John Boyne author of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas * A sophisticated fable...Beatrice and Virgil is so imbued with passionate moral and intellectual ardor that even the cynical should find it engaging. Wall Street Journal * It's a masterpiece, no question. -- A N Wilson Reader's Digest * An explosion of ideas that keep the pages turning...a wild, provocative novel Independent on Sunday * Audaciously original, never less than engrossing, often disturbing, and in its denouement truly horrifying. -- Mick Brown The Telegraph Magazine * A slim but potent exploration of the nature of survival in the face of evil. -- Nina Sankovitch The Huffington Post * 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. Los Angeles Times
