Life Of Pi

Life Of Pi

Canons

One boy, one boat, one tiger . . . After the tragic sinking of a cargo ship, a solitary lifeboat remains bobbing on the wild, blue Pacific. The only survivors from the wreck are a sixteen-year-old boy named Pi, a hyena, a zebra (with a broken leg), a female orang-utan – and a 450-pound Royal Bengal tiger. The scene is set for one of the most extraordinary and best-loved works of fiction in recent years.

Winner of The Man Booker Prize 2002 (UK) and Boeke Prize 2003 (South Africa) and Asian/Pacific American Award for Literature in Best Adult Fiction 2001-2003 (United States). Short-listed for Coventry Inspiration Book Awards 2013 (UK).
