Description

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 sixteen year-old boy named Pi, a hyena, a zebra (with a broken leg), a female orang-utan and a 450-pound Royal Bengal tiger. The scene is set for one of the most extraordinary and best-loved works of fiction in recent years.


Now a major motion picture from Academy Award-winning director Ang Lee.

Awards

Winner of Man Booker Prize for Fiction 2002.
