《項塔蘭》為澳洲人格里高利·羅伯茲所著小說之名。著作者羅伯茲有過24次搶劫銀行記錄,並吸食海洛因,被捕後判19年監禁。於澳洲彭特里奇監獄服刑時逃脫,流亡印度十年。1991年,羅伯茲於德國被捕;1997年出獄後寫下《項塔蘭》。小說出版後羅伯茲成為專職暢銷作家,作者自稱「曾是在海洛因中失去理想的革命份子,犯罪中失去操守的哲學家,在重刑監獄中失去靈魂的詩人」。
《項塔蘭》為羅伯茲流亡印度後描寫流亡驚險經歷和印度社會的自傳體長篇小說,英文版2003年於澳洲出版,中文版本於2009年由華文出版社出版。小說出版後,有人稱之為新世紀《一千零一夜》,書中的很多描述與中國人傳統的「江湖義氣」極為吻合。2004年,華納以235萬美元獲得改編權,由作者本人協助改寫為電影腳本,電影於孟買開拍,總預算超過1億美元,導演為強尼·戴普。

The scents of India, incredible atmospheres, stories and unforgettable quotes. This book has it all. I was really sad when I reached the last page, because I got attached to the protagonist and side-characters. It's a book able to teach something and at the same time, totally engaging and thrilling. Don't be scared by the number of pages, in the end they will be not enough.

This is my favorite book. I love both the story and the story behind it. It was so life changing for me that I keep coming back to read it again and again.
