Описание книги

THE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER
Lost in Portugal. Lost to grief. With nothing but a chimpanzee.
A man thrown backwards by heartbreak goes in search of an artefact that could unsettle history. A woman carries her husband to a doctor in a suitcase. A Canadian senator begins a new life, in a new country, in the company of a chimp called Odo. From these stories of journeying, of loss and faith, Yann Martel makes a novel unlike any other: moving, profound and magical.

Glorious! . . . Fantastic! . . . Didn’t I tell you? . . . Now, that’s how you take a left turn! . . . Extraordinary, absolutely extraordinary! . . . Look, look: We must be hitting fifty kilometres an hour!”

Meanwhile, the Tagus flows, placid, unhurried, unperturbed, a gentle behemoth next to the outrageous flea that leaps along its bank.
