Chapter 1 Introduction
1.1 Introduction to the author – Yann Martel
Yann Martel was born at Salamanca, Spain, 25th June 1963 of French-Canadian parents. His father was a diplomat, hence he lived in various places of Western Canada, the United States, Central America, and Europe in his early years.

At the age of 27, he began to write and now he is a novelist and short-story writer.
