Based on his own extraordinary life, Gregory David Roberts’ Shantaram is a mesmerizing novel about a man on the run who becomes entangled within the underworld of contemporary Bombay—the basis for the Apple + TV series starring Charlie Hunnam. “It took me a long time and most of the world to learn what I know about love and fate and the choices we make, but the heart of it came to me in an instant, while I was chained to a wall and being tortured.” An escaped convict with a false passport, Lin flees maximum security prison in Australia for the teeming streets of Bombay, where he can disappear. Accompanied by his guide and faithful friend, Prabaker, the two enter the city’s hidden society of beggars and gangsters, prostitutes and holy men, soldiers and actors, and Indians and exiles from other countries, who seek in this remarkable place what they cannot find elsewhere. As a hunted man without a home, family, or identity, Lin searches for love and meaning while running a clinic in one of the city’s poorest slums, and serving his apprenticeship in the dark arts of the Bombay mafia. The search leads him to war, prison torture, murder, and a series of enigmatic and bloody betrayals. The keys to unlock the mysteries and intrigues that bind Lin are held by two people. The first is Khader Khan: mafia godfather, criminal-philosopher-saint, and mentor to Lin in the underworld of the Golden City. The second is Karla: elusive, dangerous, and beautiful, whose passions are driven by secrets that torment her and yet give her a terrible power. Burning slums and five-star hotels, romantic love and prison agonies, criminal wars and Bollywood films, spiritual gurus and mujaheddin guerrillas—this huge novel has the world of human experience in its reach, and a passionate love for India at its heart.

A novel of high adventure, great storytelling and moral purpose, based on an extraordinary true story of eight years in the Bombay underworld 'A literary masterpiece... at once erudite and intimate, reflective and funny... it has the grit and pace of a thriller' Daily Telegraph 'A publishing phenomenon' Sunday Times 'A gigantic, jaw-dropping, grittily authentic saga' Daily Mail 'In the early 80s, Gregory David Roberts, an armed robber and heroin addict, escaped from an Australian prison to India, where he lived in a Bombay slum. There, he established a free health clinic and also joined the mafia, working as a money launderer, forger and street soldier. He found time to learn Hindi and Marathi, fall in love, and spend time being worked over in an Indian jail. Then, in case anyone thought he was slacking, he acted in Bollywood and fought with the Mujahedeen in Afghanistan... Amazingly, Roberts wrote Shantaram three times after prison guards trashed the first two versions. It's a profound tribute to his willpower... At once a high-kicking, eye-gouging adventure, a love saga and a savage yet tenderly lyrical fugitive vision.' Time Out

The author of the international bestseller Shantaram takes us on a gripping personal journey of wonder and insight into science, belief, faith and devotion. Drawing on sacred traditions, rigorous logic and the six-year instruction of his spiritual teacher, Roberts describes the step-by-step process he followed in search of spiritual connection - a process that anyone, of any belief or none, can benefit from in their own lives. This gripping personal account of the 'Leap Of Faith' is a compellingly fresh addition to such enduring, spiritually inspiring works as Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, The Road Less Travelled and The Celestine Prophecy. As Roberts writes, 'The Spiritual Path is a book on spiritual matters that my younger self wanted desperately: one that offers more answers than questions, and helps to reset the spiritual compass.'

Shantaram är Gregory David Roberts egen berättelse från de händelserika och omtumlande åren som förrymd fånge i Bombays undre värld. I ett av stadens slumområden öppnar han en sjukvårdsmottagning för de fattiga och nödställda. Han arbetar för maffian som pengatvättare och förfalskare och följer med maffialedaren Abdel Khader Khan till Afghanistan för att förse mujaheddin med vapen i kampen mot ryssarna. Hans kastas i indiskt fängelse och får utstå tortyr och svält. I den grönögda och mystiska Karla möter han kärleken. Shantaram är ett niohundra sidor långt läsäventyr och en varm och innerlig kärleksförklaring till staden Bombay och dess människor. Det är en hård och rå värld Roberts beskriver, men det är en värld där kärleken, lojaliteten och vänskapen alltid står i centrum.

The New York Times bestseller and “a rich brew of dystopic fantasy and deadpan goofiness” (The Washington Post) from the author of the Thursday Next series and Early Riser Welcome to Chromatacia, where the societal hierarchy is strictly regulated by one's limited color perception. And Eddie Russet wants to move up. But his plans to leverage his better-than-average red perception and marry into a powerful family are quickly upended. Juggling inviolable rules, sneaky Yellows, and a risky friendship with an intriguing Grey named Jane who shows Eddie that the apparent peace of his world is as much an illusion as color itself, Eddie finds he must reckon with the cruel regime behind this gaily painted façade.

A gripping, suspenseful, deeply satisfying new novel about corruption, deceit, and love. Robbie Feaver (pronounced "favor") is a charismatic personal injury lawyer with a high profile practice, a way with the ladies, and a beautiful wife (whom he loves), who is dying of an irreversible illness. He also has a secret bank account where he occasionally deposits funds that make their way into the pockets of the judges who decide Robbie's cases. Robbie is caught by the Feds, and, in exchange for leniency, agrees to "wear a wire" as he continues to try to fix decisions. The FBI agent assigned to supervise him goes by the alias of Evon Miller. She is lonely, uncomfortable in her skin, and impervious to Robbie's charms. And she carries secrets of her own. As the law tightens its net, Robbie's and Evon's stories converge thrillingly. Scott Turow takes us into, the world of greed and human failing he has made immortal in Presumed Innocent, The Burden of Proof, Pleading Guilty, and The Laws of Our Fathers, all published by FSG. He also shows us enduring love and quiet, unexpected heroism. Personal Injuries is Turow's most reverberant, most moving novel-a powerful drama of individuals trying to escape their characters.

Cuando lleg&ó a Bombay no era m&ás que un fugitivo, sin identidad, sin futuro, sin esperanza. All&í conoci&ó el para&íso y el infierno, el amor y el odio, la pasi&ón y la guerra. Y se gan&ó un nombre otorgado con el coraz&ón: Shantaram. Aterriz&ó en Bombay huyendo de un pasado de crimen y droga, perseguido por la polic&ía tras su fuga de una prisi&ón de m&áxima seguridad en Australia. Y en sus barrios m&ás m&íseros, donde los extranjeros jam&ás se adentran, donde s&ólo el amor y la lealtad permiten la supervivencia,& su existencia cobr&ó aut&éntico sentido y alcanz&ó una intensidad que no cre&ía posible. En las calles sucias y llenas de vida de Bombay aprendi&ó el valor de la aut&éntica amistad junto a hombres alegres y sencillos, como Prabaker, y otros violentos, duros y leales, como Abdullah. Conoci&ó tambi&én el goce y el tormento de amar a una mujer excepcional. Y con la misma fuerza sufri&ó el lado oscuro de la vida: la tortura y el horror en las c&árceles indias, la traici&ón, la muerte de los seres queridos... Se hizo un nombre entre traficantes, contrabandistas y falsificadores, adopt&ó sus c&ódigos de honor y forj&ó con ellos unos lazos que le llevaron hasta las monta&ñas de Afganist&án, junto a los mujahidines que combat&ían a los sovi&éticos. &Ésta es la historia real de la transformaci&ón de un hombre que atraves&ó todos los estadios del esp&íritu y todas las pruebas del cuerpo. Y es tambi&én el relato de una aventura incre&íble en una ciudad terrible y fascinante a la vez, en cuyas calles ca&óticas y abigarradas se esconden las verdades esenciales de la vida. "Una lectura sensacional." -Publishers Weekly "Una primera impresi&ón muestra que se trata de una brillante historia, pero uno tambi&én se da cuenta r&ápidamente de que Roberts es un magn&ífico creador de personajes." -Booklist 'Una obra maestra, erudita e &íntima, reflexiva y divertida, con toda la fuerza y el ritmo de un buen thriller." -Daily Telegraph "Una verdadera gigantesca saga." -London Daily Mail "Un h&éroe brutal, apasionado y rom&ántico." -London Telegraph "Una voz narrativa capaz de transmitir honestidad, sensibilidad y dejar una profunda huella psicol&ógica."-Australian Book Review
