Shantaram

Novel by Gregory David Roberts

Blurb

Shantaram er en roman fra 2003, skrevet av Gregory David Roberts, en heroin-avhengig og dømt australsk bankraner som rømte fra Pentridge Prison og flyktet til India hvor han bodde i 10 år.
Boken er av mange trodd å være basert på virkelige hendelser, noe som ikke stemmer helt. De konkrete episodene han gjennomlever er riktige, slik som f.eks. torturen i fengslene, men disse knyttes sammen via oppdiktede historier for å bringe fortellingen videre.
Romanen skal filmatiseres.

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.
