Life of Pi
Book • 2001
Published in 2001, 'Life of Pi' by Yann Martel tells the story of Piscine Molitor 'Pi' Patel, a teenage Indian boy from Pondicherry.
After a shipwreck, Pi finds himself stranded on a lifeboat in the Pacific Ocean with four wild animals: an orangutan, a zebra, a hyena, and a Bengal tiger named Richard Parker.
As the story unfolds, Pi must use his knowledge of animal behavior and his eclectic religious beliefs, which include Hinduism, Christianity, and Islam, to survive.
The novel explores themes of spirituality, the conflict between man and nature, and the power of storytelling.
Pi's journey is a metaphor for how one practices and maintains faith during life's challenges, and it raises questions about the nature of reality and how it is perceived and told.
