扬•马特尔(Yann Martel)
一九六三年出生于西班牙,父母是加拿大人。幼时曾旅居哥斯达黎加、法国、墨西哥、加拿大,成年后作客伊朗、土耳其及印度。毕业于加拿大特伦特大学哲学系,其后从事过各种稀奇古怪的行业,包括植树工、洗碗工、保安等。
The son of a zookeeper, Pi Patel has an encyclopedic knowledge of animal behavior and a fervent love of stories. 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 while 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?
中午在书房翻书,一边想着今天该写什么书好,上网看《壹周刊》的专栏,刘大任连写两期都在写郭松棻,那是自己根本不敢碰的主题。案头上特别从书架上抽出来的《奔跑的母亲》就放在明显的位置,《印刻文学生活志》封面上郭松棻肃穆的目光投向远方,所刊出的中篇小说〈落九花〉也...
评分"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...
评分这一段深深地震动了我。 看到自己对于fear已有过的体会被作者这样淋漓尽致地书写出来,不得不佩服。没有丰富的经验和强大的内在是无法对fear有这样深刻的描写的。 I must say a word about fear. It is life’s only true opponent. Only fear can defeat life. It is a cle...
评分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...
评分读完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。...
这本书我原先以为不适合改编成电影的,看过电影后又回头来重翻了一遍,觉得两者其实各有千秋。不过我给书打分比电影要严格一点,四星已经算是不错的评价了,就酱紫。
评分好吧,其实挺易读的一本小说。快点看的话,两周够了。
评分看了一半。。发现电影还是很还原原著的嘛,书里在写上船之前那段写的很有意思。
评分书中关于Pi宗教信仰方面的故事比重比电影的大,处理的幽默诙谐;海难中的所有事都和Pi在印度的生活息息相关。读完后觉得,相较于探寻外部世界,宗教更像是探寻内心。
评分omg又是一本拖延症的杰作,5 months!!! 给四星除了因为想给没读懂的地方留一些空间外,还有点那种复杂之后回归简单的失落感。(也许是因为看过电影再加上期望又过高?)除了奇幻的想像之外,吸引人的还有当代的幽默的语言,青少年的视角,动物学科普,当然多宗教信仰及其影响这一块几乎没看懂(宗教魔术名词浸淫的前几章你指望我读懂多少),总的来说后半部分比前半部分好懂也好理解,而且这是至今为止唯一一本能让我看到不少地方会心一笑的英文原版!看过中文之后再来对比再来看下面的书评吧!英文原版总是痛苦总是拖延,要想办法!一,主动自觉加快速度,速度慢反而容易走神,二,有意识控制自己先理解大意,不要一开始就陷入词汇,语式和语言特点的桎梏!!
