After the tragic sinking of a cargo ship, one solitary lifeboat remains bobbing on the wild, blue Pacific. The only survivors from the wreck are a sixteen-year-old boy named Pi, a hyena, a zebra (with a broken leg), a female orang-utan… and a 450-pound Royal Bengal tiger. The scene is set for one of the most extraordinary works of fiction in recent years.

Edition Notes

L'histoire horrifique et merveilleuse d'un adolescent indien, fils du propriétaire d'un zoo à Pondichéry, Piscine Molitor Patel, ainsi nommé en l'honneur d'un oncle passionné de natation. Après un naufrage au beau milieu du Pacifique où périssent sa famille et les animaux du zoo, en route vers le Canada, il vivra 227 jours sur une embarcation de secours, avec pour unique compagnon un tigre royal du Bengale. À mi-chemin entre Daniel Defoe et Saint-Exupéry, un roman à la fois extravagant et vraisemblable, là réside la grande réussite du livre, où se côtoient leçons de zoologie, réflexions sur les religions et le sens de la vie, ainsi qu'un éloge de l'ingéniosité et du courage de l'homme. Humanisme et humour.

Excerpts

My suffering left me sad and gloomy.
added anonymously.
1. On the surface, Life of Pi seems to be a cliché: boy against sea and other forces of nature, overcomes all obstacles, survives.
