Description
Beatrice and Virgil is a thought-provoking novel about an extraordinary journey. A mysterious parcel sets the story in motion, leading to a surprising destination that challenges readers' perspectives on a pivotal event of the twentieth century. The narrative weaves together three seemingly disparate threads: a donkey named Beatrice, a monkey named Virgil, and a man whose identity remains unknown until the end. As the journey unfolds, the boundaries between reality and fantasy blur, leaving readers to ponder the true nature of the story. Once finished reading, the experience will linger, refusing to be forgotten.
