An Australian prison escape leads the hero into Bombay's criminal underworld
Gregory David Roberts - Shantaram. Gift book bound in leather
Gregory David Roberts is an Australian author, well known for the novel Shantaram. In the past, he suffered from heroin addiction, and was found guilty by a court of Bank robbery, later escaped from Pentridge prison, then went into hiding in India, where he lived for about 10 years.
Shantaram is one of the most striking novels of the early twenty-first century. The book is based on the events of the author's own life. This fictionalized confession of a man who managed to get out of the abyss and survive rammed through all the bestseller lists and earned enthusiastic comparisons with the works of the best writers of Modern times, from Melville to Hemingway. Like the author, the hero of this novel has been hiding from the law for many years. Deprived of parental rights after his divorce from his wife, he became addicted to drugs, committed a number of robberies and was sentenced to nineteen years in prison by an Australian court. After escaping for the second year from a maximum security prison, he made it to Bombay, where he was a counterfeiter and smuggler, sold weapons and participated in the dismantling of the Indian mafia, and found his true love, only to lose it again, to find it again...
The book "Shantaram" became a real bestseller.
