Shantaram (in 2 volumes)

We present to the reader one of the most amazing novels of the early 21st century. This artistic confession of a man who managed to escape from the abyss and survive, rammed all the bestseller lists and earned enthusiastic comparisons with the works of the best writers of the New Age, from Melville to Hemingway. Like the author, the hero of this novel hid from the law for many years. Deprived of parental rights after a divorce from his wife, he became addicted to drugs, committed a series of robberies and was sentenced by an Australian court to nineteen years in prison. Having escaped from a maximum-security prison in his second year, he reached Bombay, where he was a counterfeiter and smuggler, traded weapons and participated in showdowns with the Indian mafia, and also found his true love, only to lose it again, only to find it again...
