I sin ungdom fik australske Gregory en 19 års dom for røveri, men det lykkedes ham at flygte, og under falsk identitet ankom han til Bombay, hvor tilværelsen passede fint til den filosofisk anlagte flygtning Titel: Shantaram Genre: Biografi Sammendrag: In the early 80s, Gregory David Roberts, an armed robber and heroin addict, escaped from an Australian prison to India, where he lived in a Bombay slum. There, he established a free health clinic and also joined the mafia, working as a money launderer, forger, and street soldier. He found time to learn Hindi and Marathi, fall in love, and spend time in an Indian jail. [...] It's a profound tribute to his willpower. At once a high-kicking, eye-gouging adventure, a love saga, and a savage yet tenderly lyrical fugitive vision. Type: Paperback
