About this listen

Winner of the Man Booker Prize

One boy. One boat. One tiger.

After the tragic sinking of a cargo ship, a solitary lifeboat remains bobbing on the wild, blue Pacific. The only survivors from the wreck are a 16-year-old boy named Pi, a hyena, a zebra (with a broken leg), a female orangutan - and a 450-pound Royal Bengal tiger. The scene is set for one of the most extraordinary and beloved works of fiction in recent years.

What the critics say

"Yann Martel's Life of Pi (Canongate) is another reminder of the largely unsung excellence of the Canongate list. The fiercely independent Scottish outfit remains an outpost of rare quality and distinction, and this exceptional understated novel is certainly a worthy addition to its output.... It would not be out of place on a Booker shortlist." ( The Bookseller)

"In the end, Life of Pi may not, as its teller promises, persuade readers to believe in God, but it makes a fine argument for the divinity of good art." [Noel Rieder, The Gazette (Montreal)]

" Life of Pi...is about many things - religion, zoology, fear - but most of all, it's about sheer tenacity. Martel has created a funny, wise and highly original look at what it means to be human." ( Chatelaine)

Most relevant

Rajiv Surendra brings Pi Patel to life in this book! The narrative is beautiful and the story completely believable in all its complexity and detail. The first part of the book is crucial to the understanding of the whole and that includes the hero‘s experiences with world religions as well as his life in India and his knowledge of zoo animals and animal behaviour. His ultimate survival on a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger is truly a journey of faith and a celebration of life.
I loved everything about this audiobook and have listened to it twice already. Amazing.
