Synopsis
Siggy et Graff, les deux narrateurs farfelus de ce roman, sont une version moderne de Don Quichotte et Sancho Pança. Seules différences : ils sillonnent la campagne autrichienne sur une énorme moto et se battent pour la libération des animaux du zoo de Vienne.Avec sa richesse, sa vitalité, sa fraîcheur, Liberté pour les ours!, premier roman de John Irving, cache cependant une intrigue plus grave : celle qui explore l''histoire, tour à tour tragique et grotesque, de l''Europe centrale de ces cinq dernières décennies.
