Part I

The causes which led Martel to write his novel:

After several failures as a writer, Yan Martel feels the need for a change of environment. He thinks traveling elsewhere will lend itself to the inspiration he needs to write his book about the Portugal of 1939.

He arrives in India and is seduced by the Indian people: their manner of speaking and their kindness. For example, when he speaks with an Indian he attempts to imitate their language. He says "bamboozle", whereas the correct word is "hoodwink". Then he laughs. When speaking about this anecdote, he wants to show us how nice these people are; and at the same time, he wants to amuse us.

In Bombay, while he works on his book, he realizes that his story isn't good enough to attract the public's interest. He decides to leave for a visit to the south of India. He chooses a place called Pondichery, a former French trading post where one can still see what remains of buildings and houses constructed by the French, as well as the name of a street in French. It's there he will have an encounter which will change completely his life.

Part II

So he sits down in a café called "The Indian Coffee House", and he strikes up a conversation with an old Indian. When this man learns that Martel is a writer, he offers to tell him a story which he says will make him believe in God. Martel is hesitant because he doesn't want to get involved with a sect. But the old man reassures him by telling him that it's a true story which begins in Pondichery. He gives him the name of the hero of the story, which is Patel and tells him that Patel now lives in Canada. Then he tells him the story.

Later, when he returns to Canada, Martel contacts Patel by phone. Then he arranges a meeting with him to get more details about this man's adventure. To get more information on the circumstances of the drama, Martel contacts the Japanese embassy and receives a tape recording from the Ministry of Transport.

And this is where Martel's splendid novel takes shape, and Patel's odyssey unfolds with all the fascination of a fairy tale and pathway to initiation. .

You're welcome, Rowenna. Bonne note. Je n'ai attaché la photo que pour illustrer ton petit commentaire.

Par accident, j'ai omis l'article ici : ... the Ministry of Transport.
