Life of Pi | Novel of Survival, Faith and Storytelling — Yann Martel

Life of Pi

2001 • Novel

One boy.

One tiger.

One lifeboat.

One ocean.

“Yann Martel’s third work of fiction, Life of Pi, is a terrific book. It’s fresh, original, smart, devious, and crammed with absorbing lore. . . Life of Pi is not just a readable and engaging novel, it’s a finely twisted length of yarn. . .”

– Margaret Atwood, Sunday Times UK
