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

"A publishing phenomenon" Sunday Times 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. Shantaram is a novel based on the life of the author, Gregory David Roberts. In 1978 Roberts was sentenced to nineteen years imprisonment as punishment for a series of robberies of building-society branches, credit unions, and shops he had committed while addicted to heroin. In July 1980 he escaped from Victoria's maximum-security prison in broad daylight, thereby becoming one of Australia's most wanted men for what turned out to be the next ten years. For most of this period he lived in Bombay. He set up a free health clinic in the slums, acted in Bollywood movies, worked for the Bombay mafia as a forger, counterfeiter, and smuggler and, as a gun-runner, resupplied a unit of mujaheddin guerrilla fighters in Afghanistan. This is the setting of Shantaram. Apart from having this highly unusual personal background, Greg Roberts is a very gifted writer. His book is a blend of vivid dialogue, unforgettable characters, amazing adventures, and superb evocations of Indian life. It can be read as a vast, extended thriller, as well as a superbly written meditation on the nature of good and evil. It is a compelling tale of a hunted man who had lost everything - his home, his family, and his soul - and came to find his humanity while living at the wildest edge of experience. Gregory David Roberts retired from public life in 2014 to devote time to his family and new writing projects. The Mountain Shadow, sequel to Shantaram, is available now. PRAISE FOR SHANTARAM "A literary masterpiece ... at once erudite and intimate, reflective and funny ... it has the grit and pace of a thriller" Daily Telegraph "Powerful and original ... a remarkable achievement" Sunday Telegraph "Extraordinarily vivid ... a gigantic, jaw-dropping, grittily authentic saga" Daily Mail "At once a high-kicking, eye-gouging adventure, a love saga and a savage yet tenderly lyrical fugitive vision." Time Out Fans of Vikram Seth, John Irving and David Mitchell will love Shantaram.

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 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.'

The first glimpse of the sea on Marine Drive filled my heart, if not my head. I turned away from the red shadow. I stopped thinking of that pyramid of killers, and Sanjay's improvidence. I stopped thinking about my own part in the madness. And I rode, with my friends, into the end of everything. Shantaram introduced millions of readers to a cast of unforgettable characters through Lin, an Australian fugitive, working as a passport forger for a branch of the Bombay mafia. In The Mountain Shadow, the long-awaited sequel, Lin must find his way in a Bombay run by a different generation of mafia dons, playing by a different set of rules. It has been two years since the events in Shantaram, and since Lin lost two people he had come to love: his father figure, Khaderbhai, and his soul mate, Karla, married to a handsome Indian media tycoon. Lin returns from a smuggling trip to a city that seems to have changed too much, too soon. Many of his old friends are long gone, the new mafia leadership has become entangled in increasingly violent and dangerous intrigues, and a fabled holy man challenges everything that Lin thought he'd learned about love and life. But Lin can't leave the Island City: Karla, and a fatal promise, won't let him go.

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

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.
