  • "Szesnastoletni Hindus Piscine Molitor Patel, znany jako Pi, syn właściciela zoo, z własnego wyboru wyznawca trzech religii (hinduizmu, chrześcijaństwa i islamu), dryfuje jako rozbitek w szalupie ratunkowej po oceanie. Za towarzyszy podróży ma jedynie ocalałe z katastrofy morskiej zwierzęta: zebrę ze złamaną nogą, orangutana, hienę i potężnego tygrysa bengalskiego, nazwanego Richardem Parkerem. W prawdziwym życiu, na dodatek w sytuacji bez wyjścia, pokojowa koegzystencja całej piątki nie byłaby możliwa.

It sounds like a colorful setup, but these wild beasts don't burst into song as if co-starring in an anthropomorphized Disney feature. After much gore and infighting, Pi and Richard Parker remain the boat's sole passengers, drifting for 227 days through shark-infested waters while fighting hunger, the elements, and an overactive imagination. In rich, hallucinatory passages, Pi recounts the harrowing journey as the days blur together, elegantly cataloging the endless passage of time and his struggles to survive: "It is pointless to say that this or that night was the worst of my life. I have so many bad nights to choose from that I've made none the champion.""@en
