Pi's Liv by Yann Martel
A young Indian boy survives a shipwreck and spends months adrift on a lifeboat in the Pacific Ocean with a Bengal tiger, forced to rely on ingenuity, courage, and an uneasy bond with the animal to stay alive; the story traces his layered spiritual life—his engagement with Hinduism, Christianity and Islam—and uses the survival ordeal to probe faith, storytelling, and the thin line between fact and fiction, ultimately offering two competing accounts that invite readers to weigh which version they prefer and to consider the nature of truth itself.
