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?
王小波说小说首先应当有趣,“大家在小说中看到的应该是有趣本身”,真是说到我的心坎里去了。可惜,在他不幸的英年早逝之后,有趣的中文小说也再见不到了。我郁闷了许久,郁闷到我的英文粗通,可以不怎么结巴的看完一本小说为止。我记得我看的第一本英文小说是《the Catcher i...
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。...
評分 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...
評分看这本书是因为看了李安拍的同名电影的预告片。一只孟加拉虎与人生活在同一条船上吸引我。促使我去寻书过来看,因为中文版是2005年的,市面上几乎找不到了,最后终于从可爱的图书馆里找了它,可爱的图书管理员还给它加了塑料皮套。 在这里我要再一次谴责一下那坑...
"It‘s important in life to conclude things properly. Only then can you let go. Otherwise you are left with words you should have said but never did, and your heart is heavy with remorse."我和Pi一樣,相信形式帶來的某種神聖的意義。開年第一本書。
评分The tiger didn't eat him, that's the best tip for his service.
评分看瞭一半。。發現電影還是很還原原著的嘛,書裏在寫上船之前那段寫的很有意思。
评分這本書我原先以為不適閤改編成電影的,看過電影後又迴頭來重翻瞭一遍,覺得兩者其實各有韆鞦。不過我給書打分比電影要嚴格一點,四星已經算是不錯的評價瞭,就醬紫。
评分終於讀完瞭,敘事平淡,plot不錯
