MARTEL, Yann
Life of Pi
Edinburgh: Canongate Books Ltd., 2002
8vo., dark blue boards, lettered in silver to spine with publisher’s device to foot; together in the beautifully-illustrated dustwrapper designed by James Hutchinson with a cover painting by Andy Bridge; decorative ‘ocean’ endpapers; pp. [vi], vii-xii, [iv], 3-319, [iii]; a near-fine copy, lightly rubbed and pushed at spine tips with one small crease to lower paste-down; the wrapper also near-fine, with price crossed out in black felt pen to the lower panel.
First UK edition, first printing, with full number line 1-10.
Martel’s best-loved work focuses on the story of a young boy, who after surviving the sinking of a cargo ship and the loss of his entire family, is marooned on a lifeboat in the middle of the ocean - with only a tiger for company. In 2012 it was adapted into an academy award-winning film starring Suraj Sharma in his debut role.
