The international bestseller and modern classic of adventure, survival, and the power of storytelling is now an award-winning play. It's a story, as one character puts it, to make you believe in God. 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. 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? When they finally reach the coast of Mexico, Richard Parker flees to the jungle, never to be seen again. Soon the tiger has dispatched all but Pi Patel, whose fear, knowledge, and cunning allow him to coexist with the tiger, Richard Parker, for 227 days while lost at sea. The only survivors from the wreck are a sixteen-year-old boy named Pi, a hyena, a wounded zebra, an orangutan-and a 450-pound Royal Bengal tiger. "A story to make you believe in the soul-sustaining power of fiction."- Los Angeles Times Book ReviewĪfter the sinking of a cargo ship, a solitary lifeboat remains bobbing on the wild blue Pacific.
