扬•马特尔(Yann Martel)
一九六三年出生于西班牙,父母是加拿大人。幼时曾旅居哥斯达黎加、法国、墨西哥、加拿大,成年后作客伊朗、土耳其及印度。毕业于加拿大特伦特大学哲学系,其后从事过各种稀奇古怪的行业,包括植树工、洗碗工、保安等。
The son of a zookeeper, Pi Patel has an encyclopedic knowledge of animal behavior and a fervent love of stories. When Pi is sixteen, his family emigrates from India to North America aboard a Japanese cargo ship, along with their zoo animals bound for new homes.
The ship sinks. Pi finds himself alone in a lifeboat, his only companions a hyena, an orangutan, a wounded zebra, and Richard Parker, a 450-pound Bengal tiger. Soon the tiger has dispatched all but Pi, whose fear, knowledge, and cunning allow him to coexist with Richard Parker for 227 days while lost at sea. When they finally reach the coast of Mexico, Richard Parker flees to the jungle, never to be seen again. The Japanese authorities who interrogate Pi refuse to believe his story and press him to tell them "the truth." After hours of coercion, Pi tells a second story, a story much less fantastical, much more conventional--but is it more true?
"Life of Pi" is just a fun read with quite a few memorable details, but on the whole the author is still immature as a writer in that, he tries too hard to mask the "truth" with gimmicks in story-telling, and he loses sight of the real depth of the truth, a...
评分中午在书房翻书,一边想着今天该写什么书好,上网看《壹周刊》的专栏,刘大任连写两期都在写郭松棻,那是自己根本不敢碰的主题。案头上特别从书架上抽出来的《奔跑的母亲》就放在明显的位置,《印刻文学生活志》封面上郭松棻肃穆的目光投向远方,所刊出的中篇小说〈落九花〉也...
评分The book had been on my bookshelf for quite some time ,but never seemed inviting enough for reading and I didn't even know what it was about . Because of my recent reading of the Call of the Wild and White Fang , I had this sudden interest in books that h...
评分书跟读者之间总是存在着缘份的。不过活在这个世界上,经历怎样的人生,遇到哪些人,做成怎样的事,都是要看缘份的。止乎当止行乎当行,冥冥之中自有天定。 至于这本书,我本来有太多的可能性与它擦肩而过了。作者获奖的那一年,卡洛斯面对中国队轰出一脚漂亮的弧线,我还在读...
评分1、这是一个16岁男孩和一只成年孟加拉虎在一艘救生船上共同漂流227天的奇幻故事。书的封皮上说:这是一个能让你产生信仰的故事。我没能产生信仰,但产生思索。 2、这本小说严重教训了我不喜欢先看作者序言的臭毛病!不先看序就会为我的阅读乐趣交上一大笔时间的学费! 3、结构...
被剧透了太可恶啊啊啊啊啊啊啊……一半弃
评分The tiger didn't eat him, that's the best tip for his service.
评分这本书我原先以为不适合改编成电影的,看过电影后又回头来重翻了一遍,觉得两者其实各有千秋。不过我给书打分比电影要严格一点,四星已经算是不错的评价了,就酱紫。
评分大二去凤凰的火车上遇见的瑞士哲学男推荐的一本书,三年之后,终于在地摊买来看了。(- -|||)
评分等不及看电影了
