Product Description
It is easy to see why Yann Martel's 2001 novel, Life of Pi, was widely praised and went on to become an international bestseller. Martel tells a story both striking and unique, the life story of Piscine Patel. When he was growing up in India as the son of a zookeeper, Piscine was teased unmercifully for his name, so he shortened it to Pi, as in the mathematical symbol π. This change of name is only the first of several fascinating changes Pi experiences. Some are more or less under his control, like his pursuit of truth by simultaneously studying Christianity, Hinduism, and Islam. Some, like his father's decision to move the family to Canada, are not under Pi's control, especially when the ship carrying the Patel family sinks and Pi is stranded in a lifeboat with only a zebra, a hyena, an orangutan, and a 450-pound tiger for company.
The bulk of this fascinating, colorful novel focuses on Pi's struggles to survive and to make sense of this dehumanizing condition in which he finds himself. Every setting, from India to the lifeboat and on to Mexico once Pi is rescued, is vividly rendered. Martel has an eye for vivid details and piles them on, making this novel a joy to read and supremely easy to imagine.

Posted by Sedat on 9th Jan 2014
Hi Libby, wow, been a long time, much water has flowed over Niagara Falls since last had you <a href="http://ohpoxpo.com">drpepod</a> by my pondok or me to yours.I do not keep links so once after awhile I will as you mentioned, 'disappear'...reason being can't remember when person last popped in so I can klik on the callsign return visit.Anyway, now we have found each other, Holy Smoke, sounds kind of romantic, ha ha...do keep in touch, I assure you I will.I have heard of this movie you saw, but since retiring I stopped reading the papers, thus lost touch with what's going on in Hollywood.From your description, sounds like a good movie judging your 'blissful'.Hmmm, thought that word has more towards moonlight nights at the Maldives? Ha ha ha.You have a nice day, and keep a song in your heart.Incidentally, I had to look for you when I cleared you at my Immigration, you popped into my previous posting, but it's ok.Good to see you again, Libby.Lee.
