Ich hielt meine Gottesdienste ab, so gut es unter solchen Umständen ging - einsame Messen ohne Priester und ohne geweihte Hostie, Darshans ohne Murtis und Pujas mit Schildkrötenfleisch as Prasad, prayers to Allah, even if I did not know which direction Mecca was in and my Arabic was more than poor. They were a comfort to me, that's for sure. But it was hard, I must say. Belief in God is a reliable opening, a release, a deep trust, unconditional love - but sometimes it was so hard to love.

"Life of Pi tells the story of Piscine Molitor Patel, also called Pi, as a small boy who discovers God for themselves. In itself, nothing special. But Pi outraged his environment, by worshiping God, both as a Christian, as well as Hindu and Muslim. However, this is not the story, which is told in the book. Piscines faith is only their essence.
Pi tells of his life in his native India, where his father is a zoo in Pondicherry. He tells of the animals in the zoo, from the lessons his father taught him, and yes, even how he got to know the religions. But above all, he tells of his time in the open ocean, after a shipwreck alone in a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger named Richard Parker.

Something in me did not want Richard Parker died, because then I was left alone with my despair, and that was an enemy who was invincible as a tiger. If I even had the will to live, then I owed him, Richard Parker. He made sure that I'm not too much thought about my family, to the terrible misfortune that had befallen me. He urged me to life. I hated him for it, but at the same time I was also grateful to him. I am grateful to him . The simple truth is: without Richard Parker, I would not be here today. I can now tell my story, I am indebted to Richard Parker.

believe This is not it? Well, you could Piscine tell a story without animals.

I know what you want. They want a story that you are not surprised. One that confirms what you already know. One that you can not and will not look deeper, one that you do not have to look with new eyes. You want a two-dimensional story. A lifeless story. The drought of the reality in which no seed rises.

But a story is not. I can not say that leads me to believe the story of God as it proclaims the blurb. If the Bible does not create, then not the story of Pi Patel. But I do not believe that the book follows a missionary order. There are many clever passages that inspire reflection. There are many funny but also sad passages. It gives sites where you warp the mouth because of a stomach turns The sheer cruelty. The book does not read like an adventure novel, even when told of an adventure. We know the outcome of the story, but it's not about Piscines rescue, but his fight for survival. The fact that you know how his adventure ends, comforts the reader with some difficult points of time. If Pi is desperate to give up and will you think for yourself: Stop by, you'll Pi create it. I know that.
I am so glad that I at that time, after much back and forth, just bought this book. Finally, a bestseller that deserves to be one. Just my opinion, of course.
