Hardback. Zustand: Good. WINNER OF THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE The international bestseller and modern classic of adventure, survival, and the power of storytelling is now an award-winning play.  After the sinking of a cargo ship, a solitary lifeboat remains bobbing on the wild blue Pacific. The only survivors from the wreck are a sixteen-year-old boy named Pi, a hyena, a wounded zebra, an orangutan--and a 450-pound Royal Bengal tiger. Soon the tiger has dispatched all but Pi Patel, whose fear, knowledge, and cunning allow him to coexist with the tiger, 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 at once a realistic, rousing adventure and a meta-tale of survival that explores the redemptive power of storytelling and the transformative nature of fiction. It's a story, as one character puts it, to make you believe in God.…

Zustand: FINE. Later printing. Winner of the 2002 Man Booker Prize. Shortlisted for the Governor General Award and the Commonwealth Writer's Prize. "After the tragic sinking of a cargo ship, only a single lifeboat remains. Its passengers consist of a Bengal tiger with a broken leg, a hyena, a zebra and Pi - a 16 year-old Indian boy." Although this was a surprise winner of the Booker, it became a controversial choice when accusations were published that Martel had stolen his book's premise from a 1981 novella, "Max and the Cats," by the Brazilian writer Moacyr Scliar. In the author's note at the beginning of this book, Martel himself gave credit to Scliar for the 'spark of life.' Nevertheless, despite the similarities of one of the basic premises - a shipwreck survivor in a boat with a wild cat - this is a very different book in spirit and theme than Scliar's novella. Illustrated endpapers. Basis for the film of the same name. 319 pp. Very near fine in a like dustjacket.…
