Life of Pi

Life of Pi
Life of Pi

Survival, storytelling, and faith beside a tiger

This is the kind of novel that feels both wildly adventurous and quietly philosophical at the same time. You get the tension of a survival story, but also this haunting, beautiful reflection on belief, truth, and the stories we choose to live by. If you like books that leave you thinking long after the last page, this one really stays with you.

Description

Life of Pi follows Pi Patel, a young boy who survives 227 days adrift at sea after a shipwreck, sharing a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger named Richard Parker. Part adventure, part meditation on faith, belief, and the power of storytelling, the novel asks what it means to survive, to believe, and to tell a story.
