İnanç, gözle görülmeyen bir şeyin varlığına değil, hissedilen bir sevgiye inanmak demektir.

by Yann Martel
Piscine Molitor Patel, known as Pi, grows up in Pondicherry among the animals in his family's zoo and the ideas he discovers in books. In Yann Martel's Life of Pi, his curiosity leads him to practise Hinduism, Christianity and Islam at the same time, even as his family struggles to understand that commitment. Political change prompts the Patels to close the zoo and sail for Canada aboard a Japanese cargo ship with several animals. When the ship sinks, sixteen-year-old Pi is cast adrift in a lifeboat with a zebra, an orangutan, a hyena and a Bengal tiger named Richard Parker.
As the voyage continues, survival requires Pi to find water, catch food, withstand storms and establish a dangerous order with the tiger. Practical discipline competes with fear, grief and despair, while moments of beauty on the Pacific keep wonder alive. The 227-day ordeal tests both Pi's knowledge of animals and the faith through which he interprets experience. Life of Pi combines maritime adventure with a meditation on belief, storytelling and the meanings people choose when reality exceeds easy explanation.
