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"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...
評分书跟读者之间总是存在着缘份的。不过活在这个世界上,经历怎样的人生,遇到哪些人,做成怎样的事,都是要看缘份的。止乎当止行乎当行,冥冥之中自有天定。 至于这本书,我本来有太多的可能性与它擦肩而过了。作者获奖的那一年,卡洛斯面对中国队轰出一脚漂亮的弧线,我还在读...
評分《少年派的奇幻漂流》(《Life of Pi》)是加拿大作家扬.马特尔的一部畅销小说。此书获得了2002年的布克奖。李安将这部被称为“不可能拍成电影”的小说拍成了同名电影《少年派的奇幻漂流》。电影利用了3D技术,视觉效果极其震撼,还带有些许的悬疑奇幻色彩,成为了一部叫座又叫...
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。...
故事發展很流暢,推動著我一直往下讀下去。故事還挺奇幻的,前麵的過長的傢裏有動物園的鋪墊後麵得到瞭呼應,也是他為毛能和一隻老虎在船上呆瞭快一年的原因,anyway絕對是難忘的閱讀體驗。期待20號上映的電影!
评分書中關於Pi宗教信仰方麵的故事比重比電影的大,處理的幽默詼諧;海難中的所有事都和Pi在印度的生活息息相關。讀完後覺得,相較於探尋外部世界,宗教更像是探尋內心。
评分好吧,其實挺易讀的一本小說。快點看的話,兩周夠瞭。
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一樣,相信形式帶來的某種神聖的意義。開年第一本書。
评分i+3 1c/d
