Shantaram is an internationally bestselling novel by Gregory David Roberts, inspired by the author's extraordinary real-life experiences. Set largely in the vibrant and chaotic city of Bombay (Mumbai), the story blends adventure, crime, philosophy and romance into a sweeping epic.
In the early 1980s, an escaped Australian prisoner flees to India to start a new life under a false identity. Arriving in Bombay, he becomes immersed in the city's intense energy and diversity, finding friendship, love and unexpected purpose among its people.
As he builds a life in the crowded slums, he establishes a free health clinic for the poor, but his path soon leads him into the darker side of the city. Drawn into the criminal underworld, he works as a money launderer, forger and operative for the local mafia.
From the streets of Bombay to the mountains of Afghanistan, Shantaram is a powerful story of redemption, loyalty and the search for meaning in a complex world.
