With a brilliant combination of sensitivity and a precise economy of language, Martel develops a story some readers might find less than credible. It becomes a test of everything he's learned - about both man and beast, their creator, and the nature of truth itself. But Pi's seafaring journey is about much more than a struggle for survival.
En route with his family from their home in India to Canada, their cargo ship sinks, and Pi finds himself adrift in a lifeboat - alone, save for a few surviving animals, some of the very same animals Pi's zookeeper father warned him would tear him to pieces if they got a chance. Meet Pi Patel, a young man on the cusp of adulthood when fate steps in and hastens his lessons in maturity.
