First published in 2002, Martel's breathtaking breakout novel became an international bestseller and went on to win the Man Booker Prize, and was also named Amazon.com's Best Book of 2002. In 2005, after an international competition, Croatian artist Tomislav Torjanac was selected to illustrate a special edition of Life of Pi that features 40 stunning illustrations that present a new perspective on this modern classic. --Brad Thomas Parsons
Tomislav Torjanac's Artist Statement |
Island Study | Lifeboat Study | "I quite deliberately dressed wild animals in tame costumes of my imagination." |
"Only when they threw me overboard did I begin to have doubts..." | "And what a thump it was." | "I threw the mako towards the stern." |
A boy. A tiger. And the vast Pacific Ocean.
This is a novel of such rare and wondrous storytelling that it may, as one character claims, make you believe in God.
