Winner of the 2002 Man Booker Prize for Fiction

Pi Patel is an unusual boy. The son of a zookeeper, he has an encyclopedic knowledge of animal behavior, a fervent love of stories, and practices not only his native Hinduism, but also Christianity and Islam. When Pi is sixteen, his family emigrates from India to North America aboard a Japanese cargo ship, along with their zoo animals bound for new homes.

The ship sinks. Pi finds himself alone in a lifeboat, his only companions a hyena, an orangutan, a wounded zebra, and Richard Parker, a 450-pound Bengal tiger. Soon the tiger has dispatched all but Pi, whose fear, knowledge, and cunning allow him to coexist with Richard Parker for 227 days lost at sea. When they finally reach the coast of Mexico, Richard Parker flees to the jungle, never to be seen again. The Japanese authorities who interrogate Pi refuse to believe his story and press him to tell them "the truth." After hours of coercion, Pi tells a second story, a story much less fantastical, much more conventional-but is it more true?

Life of Pi is at once a realistic, rousing adventure and a meta-tale of survival that explores the redemptive power of storytelling and the transformative nature of fiction. It's a story, as one character puts it, to make you believe in God.

读后感

故事开始时是作者虚构自己的第一部小说如何不成功。为重新开始，为与失败的小说有个地理上的了结以便有精神上的了结，作者远赴国外。在国外遇到不少人。听说他是作家，有不少人会讲述自以为很神奇的故事，希望作者也许会感兴趣，日后会将故事写入小说。作者一点都不感兴趣。事...  

《少年派的奇幻漂流》（《Life of Pi》）是加拿大作家扬.马特尔的一部畅销小说。此书获得了2002年的布克奖。李安将这部被称为“不可能拍成电影”的小说拍成了同名电影《少年派的奇幻漂流》。电影利用了3D技术，视觉效果极其震撼，还带有些许的悬疑奇幻色彩，成为了一部叫座又叫...

看这本书是因为看了李安拍的同名电影的预告片。一只孟加拉虎与人生活在同一条船上吸引我。促使我去寻书过来看，因为中文版是2005年的，市面上几乎找不到了，最后终于从可爱的图书馆里找了它，可爱的图书管理员还给它加了塑料皮套。 在这里我要再一次谴责一下那坑...  

王小波说小说首先应当有趣，“大家在小说中看到的应该是有趣本身”，真是说到我的心坎里去了。可惜，在他不幸的英年早逝之后，有趣的中文小说也再见不到了。我郁闷了许久，郁闷到我的英文粗通，可以不怎么结巴的看完一本小说为止。我记得我看的第一本英文小说是《the Catcher i...  

用户评价

只有在死亡临近之时，道德才不会陷入两难。如果不是先看电影应该会更好呢。

Pi Patel: "Don't worry, you won't. He's hiding somewhere you'll never find him."

结尾神逆转

Magical and wildly good.
