Il naufragio di Piscine Molitor Patel, un ragazzo indiano chiamato da tutti Pi, e quattro insoliti compagni di viaggio - una zebra ferita, un orango, una iena e una tigre - si trasforma in un'avventura sospesa tra realtà e magia. La sfida del protagonista sarà la sopravvivenza nonostante la sete, la fame, gli squali e la furia del mare. Un libro unico, un po' romanzo d'avventura e un po' favola surreale dall'inattesa anima nera.
