Life of Pi

by Yann Martel

Stranded on a lifeboat in the Pacific with a Bengal tiger, teenage Pi Patel must find a way to survive an impossible journey. Part survival tale, part philosophical meditation, this luminous novel explores faith, storytelling, and the nature of truth through one of literature's most unforgettable odysseys.
