After the tragic sinking of a cargo ship, one solitary lifeboat remains bobbing on the wild, blue Pacific. The crew of the surviving vessel consists of a hyena, a zebra (with a broken leg), a female orang-utan, a 450-pound Royal Bengal tiger and Pi - a 16-year-old Indian boy. The scene is set for one of the most extraordinary pieces of literary fiction of recent years. Yann Martel's "Life of Pi" is a transformative novel, a dazzling work of imagination that will delight and astound readers in equal measure. It is a triumph of storytelling and a tale that will, as one character puts it, make you believe in God.

Tym razem najpierw oglądnąłem film, a później sięgnąłem po książkę. I wcale nie żałuję. Do tego wszystkiego, kończąc lekturę, jak raz trafiła się powtórka filmu w telewizji. Oglądnąłem więc go po raz kolejny. I wcale nie żałuję. Zarówno powieść jak i jej ekranizacja, są bardzo dobrymi opowieściami, ...
'Life of Pi' made the World Book Night list for 2011 and rightly so. Martel has created a modern masterpiece, which is beautifully written. The storyline is unusual and all the more absorbing for it. The ending too is intriguing and though the movie interpretation is good, it can't do full justice t...
The life of Pi is a story of courage and survival. It is a wonderfully written journey through life's struggle.
Czy można niezwykłą historię opisać w sposób niebywale... nudny? Po raz kolejny okazało się, że jest to możliwe i wcale nie trzeba się wysilać. O Pi słyszałem tyle, co w zwiastunach filmowych, czyli widziałem młodego Hindusa w szalupie ratunkowej z tygrysem. Całość okazała się trochę głębsza, lecz i...
