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.
电影里那些飘水花灯、印度舞、暴雨沉船、辽阔海面、飞鱼来袭,浮岛幻影等炫酷镜头透过3D眼镜扑过来让我瞪大眼伸长脖在不舒服的椅子里坐到脊柱炸鞭也不觉着亏,而且故事这么弱,前后也不连贯,迟到半钟头去上个厕所活动活动或者睡一觉起来都不耽误,真是老少妇孺咸宜的漂...
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 评分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...
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...
仍然记得当年坐在德班的电影院里看电影时候的震撼,一直想读原文,没想到时隔几年才花了3个月把原文看完了,所有的事情只有去做才有实现的可能,生存也好,阅读也好,在绝境中坚持,正好现在也碰到了大问题,希望能慢慢的和Pi一样的度过去。感觉可以再读的一本书。话说李安增加了一些原著没有的情节,加上电影的特技呈现的一些想象,书和电影都很喜欢,各有不同
