Life of Pi

My suffering left me sad and melancholic.

After the tragic sinking of a cargo ship, a lone lifeboat remains floating in the wild, blue Pacific. The only survivors of the shipwreck are a sixteen-year-old boy named Pi, a hyena, a zebra (with a broken leg), a female orangutan... and a 450-pound royal Bengal tiger. The stage is set for one of the most extraordinary works of fiction in recent years.
