This engaging summary presents an analysis of Life of Pi by Yann Martel, a powerful novel about the stories we tell ourselves and others and the nature of belief. It tells the story of Piscine "Pi" Patel, a young Indian man whose family of zookeepers decides to immigrate to Canada due to the political instability in India. However, their ship is capsized by a storm, causing the deaths of everyone on board except Pi, who escapes on a lifeboat with a number of animals. Most of the animals quickly kill and eat each other, except Richard Parker, a Bengal tiger. Pi forms a tentative alliance with Richard Parker, and together they manage to overcome the many perils of the ocean and make their way back to shore - assuming, that is, that Pi's account of his adventures is truthful. Life of Pi is the best-known novel by the Canadian author Yann Martel, and won the 2002 Man Booker Prize. It was also adapted into an Oscar-winning film by the director Ang Lee in 2010.
