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?
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...
评分若不是因为布克奖的缘故,我很可能会将之当成一本讲圆周率的数学普及读本而不幸错过。然而圆周率也未尝同整本小说没有关联,Yann Martel在一篇采访中说:“我选择Pi这个名字,是因为这是个不理性(irrational)的数字,然而科学家们还是利用这个不理性的数字达成对宇宙的理性认...
评分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,...
必将成为一部当代经典。
评分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"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一样,相信形式带来的某种神圣的意义。开年第一本书。
