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.
The book had been on my bookshelf for quite some time ,but never seemed inviting enough for reading and I didn't even know what it was about . Because of my recent reading of the Call of the Wild and White Fang , I had this sudden interest in books that h...
評分读完Life of Pi,厘清了不少看完电影后产生的困惑,也愈加佩服Yann Martel。他不仅讲了一个精彩的故事,而且文笔出色,读的时候经常有满满一页都想抄到笔记本上的冲动。 不少人读完此书后,花了大笔精力探讨第一、第二个故事孰真孰假。可我却觉得,全书的前1/3更值得细细品味。...

Pi Patel: "Don't worry, you won't. He's hiding somewhere you'll never find him."
评分電影看瞭很多遍,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

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。
