Shantaram

For the first time in Russian — one of the most remarkable novels of the early 21st century. This artistic confession of a man who managed to escape from the abyss and survive has topped all bestseller lists and earned... enthusiastic comparisons to the works of the best writers of modern times, from Melville to Hemingway. Like the author, the hero of this novel hid from the law for many years. Stripped of parental rights after a divorce from his wife, he became addicted to drugs, committed a number of robberies, and was sentenced by an Australian court to nineteen years in prison. After escaping from a high-security prison in the second year, he reached Bombay, where he became a counterfeiter and smuggler, traded weapons, and participated in the Indian mafia's conflicts, as well as found his true love only to lose it again, to find it once more…

«A man whom «Shantaram» does not touch deeply either does not have a heart, or is dead, or both at the same time. I have not read anything with such enjoyment for many years. «Shantaram» is the «One Thousand and One Nights» of our century. It is a priceless gift for all who love to read».
