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.

一九六三年齣生於西班牙,父母是加拿大人。幼時曾旅居哥斯達黎加、法國、墨西哥、加拿大,成年後作客伊朗、土耳其及印度。畢業於加拿大特倫特大學哲學係,其後從事過各種稀奇古怪的行業,包括植樹工、洗碗工、保安等。
我看到很多评论在质疑作者声称的“这是一个可以令你信仰上帝的故事”,说是噱头、广告词、商业炒作,失望之情溢于言表。大家期待的是全能的上帝。这样的上帝不会失态地诅咒无辜的无花果树,不会让世界上出现那么多冲突的教派,不会陷人于绝望之中互相残杀,不会逼迫素食少年吃...
評分《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...
評分很久没读小说了。特别是长篇,总需要相对整齐的时间,稳定的心境。否则,断断续续与松松散散都有可能使一本可能精彩的小说变得索然无味,最后不了了之地被你断送在前五十页。 这几天潮湿,用一个朋友的话,湿度若在100%,是不是仿佛人在水中游?墙上有慢慢的,往下流...
評分"Life of Pi" is just a fun read with quite a few memorable details, but on the whole the author is still immature as a writer in that, he tries too hard to mask the "truth" with gimmicks in story-telling, and he loses sight of the real depth of the truth, a...
評分電影看瞭很多遍,情節熟記於心,已經很喜歡瞭,而再讀小說依然驚喜連連。《少年pi的奇幻漂流》這個譯名稍微削弱瞭這個故事的沉重感,原名《Life of Pi》似乎更佳。小說作者用輕盈且幾乎詩意的語言,承載住瞭故事裏那些殘酷、荒誕、衝突、彷徨和掙紮,就好像書中Pi在漂流時,無數個一邊伴隨威脅生命的猛虎,一邊抬頭看到海麵上絢爛奇景的瞬間。
评分隻有在死亡臨近之時,道德纔不會陷入兩難。如果不是先看電影應該會更好呢。
评分第一部分鋪敘很多。Pi年輕時這麼聰明,看齣宗教間的共性,但是你居然三個宗教都信?簡直神人。中間那部分就是海上漂流記。第三部分是日本官員的記錄,沒什麼大補充,無非就是Pi讓官員相信他的話而已
评分Pi Patel: "Don't worry, you won't. He's hiding somewhere you'll never find him."
评分仍然記得當年坐在德班的電影院裏看電影時候的震撼,一直想讀原文,沒想到時隔幾年纔花瞭3個月把原文看完瞭,所有的事情隻有去做纔有實現的可能,生存也好,閱讀也好,在絕境中堅持,正好現在也碰到瞭大問題,希望能慢慢的和Pi一樣的度過去。感覺可以再讀的一本書。話說李安增加瞭一些原著沒有的情節,加上電影的特技呈現的一些想象,書和電影都很喜歡,各有不同
