What is Life of Pi : a novel about?
Life of Pi is a masterful and utterly original novel that is at once the story of a young castaway who faces immeasurable hardships on the high seas, and a meditation on religion, faith, art and life that is as witty as it is profound. Using the threads of all of our best stories, Yann Martel has woven a glorious spiritual adventure that makes us question what it means to be alive, and to believe. Growing up in Pondicherry, India, Piscine Molitor Patel — known as Pi — has a rich life. Bookish by nature, young Pi acquires a broad knowledge of not only the great religious texts but of all literature, and has a great curiosity about how the world works. His family runs the local zoo, and he spends many of his days among goats, hippos, swans, and bears, developing his own theories about the nature of animals and how human nature conforms to it. PiвЂTMs family life is quite happy, even though his brother picks on him and his parents arenвЂTMt quite sure how to accept his decision to simultaneously embrace and practise three religions — Christianity, Hinduism, and Islam. But despite the lush and nurturing variety of PiвЂTMs world, there are broad political changes afoot in India,
