Life of Pi

“Life of Pi” caused a real cultural explosion in the global intellectual community. The fantastic journey of a young man and a Bengal tiger, described in the novel, echoes “The Old Man and the Sea,” merges with the magical realism of Márquez, and resonates with Beckett’s absurdity. The book became more than a bestseller—it became a symbol of the literature of the new century and a banner of a new culture.
