In an Author's Note, an anonymous author figure explainsthat he traveled from his home in Canada to India because he wasfeeling restless. There, while sipping coffee in a café in the townof Pondicherry, he met an elderly man named Francis Adirubasamy whooffered to tell him a story fantastic enough to give him faith in God.This story is that of Pi Patel. The author then shifts into the storyitself, but not before telling his reader that the account will comeacross more naturally if he tells it in Pi's own voice.
Part One is narrated in the first person by Pi. Pi narratesfrom an advanced age, looking back at his earlier life as a highschool and college student in Toronto, then even further back tohis boyhood in Pondicherry.

He describes how Francis Adirubasamy,a close business associate of his father's and a competitive swimmingchampion, taught him to swim and bestowed upon him his unusual name.Pi is named after the Piscine Molitor, a Parisian swimming clubwith two pools that Adirubasamy used to frequent. We learn thatPi's father once ran the Pondicherry Zoo, teaching Pi and his brother,Ravi, about the dangerous nature of animals by feeding a live goatto a tiger before their young eyes. Pi, brought up as a Hindu, discoversChristianity, then Islam, choosing to practice all three religionssimultaneously. Motivated by India's political strife, Pi's parentsdecide to move the family to Canada; on June 21, 1977,they set sail in a cargo ship, along with a crew and many cagesfull of zoo creatures.
At the beginning of Part Two, the ship is beginning tosink. Pi clings to a lifeboat and encourages a tiger, Richard Parker,to join him. Then, realizing his mistake in bringing a wild animalaboard, Pi leaps into the ocean. The narrative jumps back in timeas Pi describes the explosive noise and chaos of the sinking: crewmembersthrow him into a lifeboat, where he soon finds himself alone witha zebra, an orangutan, and a hyena, all seemingly in shock. His familyis gone. The storm subsides and Pi contemplates his difficult situation.The hyena kills the zebra and the orangutan, and then—to Pi's intensesurprise—Richard Parker reveals himself: the tiger has been in thebottom of the lifeboat all along. Soon the tiger kills the hyena,and Pi and Richard Parker are alone together at sea. Pi subsistson canned water and filtered seawater, emergency rations, and freshlycaught sea life.
