揚•馬特爾(Yann Martel)
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。
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?
"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1,为什么说这是一个能让你相信上帝的故事? 相信有动物的那个故事,和相信上帝,在本质上是一个道理的。 相信上帝并不是因为有确切的证据证明上帝的存在,而是在事实并没有支持,事实甚至在反对这种信念的时候(日心说,演化论及其他)仍然相信,不然这就不是信仰,...

評分1、这是一个16岁男孩和一只成年孟加拉虎在一艘救生船上共同漂流227天的奇幻故事。书的封皮上说:这是一个能让你产生信仰的故事。我没能产生信仰,但产生思索。 2、这本小说严重教训了我不喜欢先看作者序言的臭毛病!不先看序就会为我的阅读乐趣交上一大笔时间的学费! 3、结构...
評分被劇透瞭太可惡啊啊啊啊啊啊啊……一半棄
评分omg又是一本拖延癥的傑作,5 months!!! 給四星除瞭因為想給沒讀懂的地方留一些空間外,還有點那種復雜之後迴歸簡單的失落感。(也許是因為看過電影再加上期望又過高?)除瞭奇幻的想像之外,吸引人的還有當代的幽默的語言,青少年的視角,動物學科普,當然多宗教信仰及其影響這一塊幾乎沒看懂(宗教魔術名詞浸淫的前幾章你指望我讀懂多少),總的來說後半部分比前半部分好懂也好理解,而且這是至今為止唯一一本能讓我看到不少地方會心一笑的英文原版!看過中文之後再來對比再來看下麵的書評吧!英文原版總是痛苦總是拖延,要想辦法!一,主動自覺加快速度,速度慢反而容易走神,二,有意識控製自己先理解大意,不要一開始就陷入詞匯,語式和語言特點的桎梏!!
评分i+3 1c/d
评分大段的海上求生讀著讀著會讓人覺得跟Pi一樣看不到希望的前方。。。對速讀者是個挑戰。
评分等不及看電影瞭
