Book: Shantaram
In 1978 Gregory David Roberts committed a series of robberies while adducted to heroin, and was sentenced to nineteen years in prison. After two years, he escaped from a maximum-security prison in broad daylight, and became Australia’s most wanted man.

Hiding in Mumbai, he established a medical clinic for slum-dwellers, and worked as a counterfeiter, smuggler and gunrunner for one of the most charismatic branches of the Mumbai mafia. Shantaram – based on this ten-year period of Gregory David Roberts life – is a superbly written and gripping novel, and an authentic evocation of Mumbai life.

Press Reviews

Shantaram is a novel of the first order, a work of extraordinary art, a thing of exceptional beauty … Gregory David Roberts does for Mumbai what Lawrence Durrell did for Alexandria, what Melville did for the South Seas, and what Thoreau did for Walden Pond. He makes it an eternal player in the literature of the world’

Pat Conroy, bestselling author of Prince of Tides, Beach Music and the Great Santini

‘…impossible to put down…reads like a travelogue, a thriller and discourse on the nature of good and evil rolled into one’ – India Today

‘…it’s brilliant’ – Today

‘…no writer in English has told Bombay’s story better than this Aussie…’ – Outlook

‘Shantaram is unputdownable’ —Times of India

‘Believable characters that grow on you and a fantastic plot make for an enjoyable, impressive read.’ —New Woman

*Shantaram
Review by fran duke-norris
what a book....it lives with you .....it consumes your mind day and night.....
*The best book I've read
Review by Rohit
The best book I've ever read in my life. The best part of it is the literature and the way in which Gregory David Roberts describes each aspect and emotion in a very lucid and beautiful way. As rightly said this book is the perfect ode to India by a foreigner. A true collector's item.
I would recommend this bok to all those who like good stories with excellent literature. Complete value for money. Can't wait for the movie to release.

I've always been a fan of the in-between. You know, the stuff in between the stuff. That's stuff too, right? The way we practice yoga is the way we live our life.

Big book packs big life meaning (The Dakota Student - October 31, 2009)
When a friend first pushed Gregory David Roberts' novel Shantaram on me, I was terrified by its daunting and intimidating size. But within the first sentence, I had already begun losing myself in the sometimes appalling, sometimes beautiful, world that Roberts portrays.
