The Plot:
Piscine Molitor “Pi” Patel is an exceptionally bright teenage boy growing up in Pondicherry, India, where his father runs the local zoo. Driven by an immense spiritual curiosity, Pi simultaneously embraces Hinduism, Christianity, and Islam, declaring simply that he “just wants to love God.”
But Pi’s world is upended when his family decides to emigrate to Canada, boarding a Japanese cargo ship alongside their exotic zoo animals. When a cataclysmic shipwreck occurs in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, Pi is thrust into a lifeboat as the sole human survivor. He is not alone, however. Trapped with him on the 26-foot vessel is Richard Parker—a fearsome, 450-pound Royal Bengal tiger.
What follows is an epic 227-day journey of survival against hunger, thirst, raging storms, and the constant threat of a deadly predator. To stay alive, Pi must use his deep knowledge of animal psychology to tame the tiger, forging a staggering and beautiful connection born out of absolute necessity.
