英国文坛至高荣誉布克奖去年颁给了加拿大作家扬·马特尔。得奖作品《Life of Pi》述说一个16岁的印度男孩 Pi,在船难后跟一只唤 RichardParker 的孟加拉虎在海上漂流求生227天的故事,交织着人与自然、宗教与动物学的哲学思考。有书评谓:“这是一本令你相信上帝的书”。因为关乎信仰,而信仰从来很主观,所以很难说。然而,跟作者扬·马特尔相处下来,却很难不被他对生命的热情、尊重和幽默感深深打动。我会说,这是一本令你珍惜生命的书,自己的和别人的。《Life of Pi》,关键正在于 Life。
Last year, the British literary altarpiece Booker Prize was awarded to Jan Martel, a Canadian writer. Life of Pi, a 16-year-old Indian boy, tells the story of a 227-day rafting survival at sea following a boat collision with a Bengal tiger that calls Richard Parker, a philosophical reflection of man and nature, religion and zoology . A book comment: “This is a book that will convince you of God.” It is difficult to say because belief is always subjective. However, getting along with Jan Martell, it is hard not to be impressed by his passion for life, respect and sense of humor. I will say it is a book that will make you cherish life, yourself and others. Life of Pi, the key is Life.
