Life of Pi is a stunningly beautiful tale set in an Indian zoo. Zoologist and Religion
scholar Pi Patel recounts his childhood experience as a cast away in the middle of the ocean, trapped on a boat with a Bengal tiger. This is a story about survival and finding meaning in life even in the face of the apparent indifference of the universe. Martel’s exotic metaphors challenge our standard concepts of God and religion. Travel with Yann Martel’s novel Life of Pi and explore new possibilities.
