14.99 €
Traditional edition. The long-awaited sequel to one of the most amazing novels of the early 21st century.
"Shantaram" was a confession of a man who managed to escape from the abyss and survive, refracted in artistic form, selling four million copies worldwide (including half a million in Russia) and earning enthusiastic comparisons with the works of the best writers of the new era, from Melville to Hemingway. The venerable Jonathan Carroll wrote: "A man who is not touched to the depths of his soul by "Shantaram" either has no heart or is dead... "Shantaram" is the "A Thousand and One Nights" of our century. It is a priceless gift for anyone who loves to read." And now, finally, G.D. Roberts has written a continuation of the story of Lin, nicknamed Shantaram, who escaped from an Australian maximum security prison and became a counterfeiter and smuggler in Bombay. So, two years have passed since Lin lost two of his closest people: Khaderbhai, a mafia boss who died in the Afghan mountains, and Karla, a mysterious, desirable beauty who married a Bombay media mogul. Now Lin must fulfill the last task given to him by Khaderbhai, win the trust of a sage living on the mountain, save his head in the uncontrollably flaring conflict of new mafia bosses, but most importantly - find love and faith.
