A terrific combination of magical realism in the vein of Yann Martel's Life of Pi and historical adventure novel. The Qing Empire is in decline. The powerful empress has passed away, and the fate of her zoo is in question: the animals will either be sold or starve to death. Preacher Morgan Carroway is looking for something unusual to attract the attention of the people of the province, who no longer trust missionaries. So he buys an elephant, a lion, two zebras, five baboons, a parrot, and a python from the imperial zoo - and embarks on an epic journey to Chifeng County, full of bandits, shamans, and werewolves. A charming story, with many striking everyday details, about how true love and faith often manifest themselves in the most unexpected things and actions.
