An
anonymous author figure explains that he traveled from his home in
Canada to India because he was feeling restless. There, while sipping
coffee in a café in the town of Pondicherry, he met an elderly man
named Francis Adirubasamy who offered to tell him a story fantastic
enough to give him faith in God. This story is that of Pi Patel.
After
deciding to sell their zoo in India and move to Canada, Santosh and
Gita Patel board a freighter with their sons and a few remaining
animals. Tragedy strikes ....
I felt inspired when Pi
and Richard Parker forge a relationship of mutual trust, respect and
understanding. Their circumstances force it upon them but as time
passes one feels that they are truly gaining knowledge of each other.
This is a thrilling adventure that begins at a leisurely pace in
Pondicherry with his family and his father's zoo and takes us through
his comical exploration of religion and then to a fight for survival.
