About this product

Product Information

In 1978, gifted student and writer Greg Roberts turned to heroin when his marriage collapsed, feeding his addiction with a string of robberies. Caught and convicted, he was given a nineteen-year sentence. After two years, he escaped from a maximum- security prison, spending the next ten years on the run as Australia's most wanted man. Hiding in Bombay, he established a medical clinic for slum- dwellers, worked in the Bollywood film industry and served time in the notorious Arthur Road prison. He was recruited by one of the most charismatic branches of the Bombay mafia for whom he worked as a forger, counterfeiter, and smuggler, and fought alongside a unit of mujaheddin guerrilla fighters in Afghanistan. His debut novel, SHANTARAM, is based on this ten-year period of his life in Bombay. The result is an epic tale of slums and five-star hotels, romantic love and prison torture, mafia gang wars and Bollywood films. A gripping adventure story, SHANTARAM is also a superbly written meditation on good and evil and an authentic evocation of Bombay life.

    This is a second hand book, full stop. The book is in condition for a second hand book which previously was in use. Pages are yellowish, cover is well wore off. The price is fine.

    Fast shipping very painless. First time ordering a second hand book off eBay, not sure if I would consider the condition ‘very good’ but maybe it is ‘very good’ for a second hand book. Regardless, it was incredibly good value so absolutely no complaints here! Would buy from you guys again

    Shantaram

    The most interesting book of any genre that I have read for a long time. Rightly or wrongly, his is a life truly lived. Excellently written without being pretentious with beautifully poetic moments. It's a long book but I didn't want it to end.

    An incredible read, it will make you laugh out loud, weep, feel deeply & want to meet all the amazing & real life characters in this amazing true life story. I wanted to start again at the beginning once I'd finished - this book stays with you forever.

    Read it and find out!

    To be honest it's one of the best books I have ever read and everyone I know that has read it agrees, regardless of their age race or gender. It's not often I would describe a book as 'beautiful'. The journey you go on reading it is awe inspiring and unforgettable. A definite masterpiece and in time it will be remembered as one of the greatest pieces of literature of the twenty-first century. The follow up is also well worth reading.

    Not for the faint hearted!

    Having just returned from India I was recommended this book by my friend who is a member of a book club. Best read ever! It was just like reliving my holiday all over again. The way it is written is so real but then it is a real story. If you are thinking about going to India, have been to India or just have a fascination of India, this book is a must. You won't read it in a couple of days though, almost 1000 pages! Well worth it!
