Life of Pi is a fantasy adventure novel by Yann Martel published in 2001 . in this novel the author describes the story of Boy and Bengal tiger survive in lifeboat for 227 days.
The novel talk about Pi Patel is an unusual boy. The son of a zoo keeper, he has an encyclopedic knowledge of animal behavior, a fervent love of stories, and practices not only his native Hinduism, but also Christianity and Islam. When Pi is sixteen, his family emigrates from India to North America aboard a Japanese cargo ship, along with their zoo animals bound for new homes .The ship sinks. Pi finds himself alone in a lifeboat, his only companions a hyena, an orangutan, a wounded zebra, and Richard Parker, a 450-pound Bengal tiger. Soon the tiger has dispatched all but Pi, whose fear, knowledge, and cunning allow him to coexist with Richard Parker for 227 days lost at sea. When they finally reach the coast of Mexico, Richard Parker flees to the jungle, never to be seen again. The Japanese authorities who interrogate Pi refuse to believe his story and press him to tell them "the truth." After hours of coercion, Pi tells a second story, a story much less fantastical, much more conventional--but is it more true ?
Life of Pi is at once a realistic, rousing adventure and a meta-tale of survival that explores the redemptive power of storytelling and the trans-formative nature of fiction. It's a story, as one character puts it, to make you believe in God.
If you pass in distress in your life, this novel is what you need to read it now, because it will teach you that faith in a better tomorrow is the best way to overcome adversity, and is the perfect road that connects you to safety.
