Let yourself be drawn into an incredible story full of suspense and courage!

Shantaram is not only a novel but also a fascinating true story about life in the Bombay underworld that will completely absorb you. This book offers readers a unique opportunity to peer into a world where danger, love and extraordinary courage intertwine.

An authentic story against the backdrop of extraordinary fates

Gregory David Roberts, a former armed robber and heroin addict, escaped from an Australian prison and found refuge in Bombay. He lived in a slum, where he founded a free health clinic and became involved with the local mafia as a "street soldier," a bogus lawyer and a money launderer. Between these extremes he learned Hindi and Marathi, experienced love and escaped Indian prison. He proved his courage beyond Bombay as well - he appeared in Bollywood and fought with the Mujahedeen in Afghanistan. Shantaram is the result of the author's incredible inner strength, who rewrote this book several times until he was able to complete it.

This book is not just an adventure story - it is an epic full of emotion, intensity and poetry that will not let you go. It is a tale of survival, faith in a better tomorrow and the search for meaning in a world where no one would expect it.
