In 1978, gifted student and writer Greg Roberts turned to heroin when his marriage collapsed, feeding his addiction with a string of robberies. Caught and convicted, he was given a nineteen-year sentence. After two years, he escaped from a maximum- security prison, spending the next ten years on the run as Australia's most wanted man. Hiding in Bombay, he established a medical clinic for slum- dwellers, worked in the Bollywood film industry and served time in the notorious Arthur Road prison. He was recruited by one of the most charismatic branches of the Bombay mafia for whom he worked as a forger, counterfeiter, and smuggler, and fought alongside a unit of mujaheddin guerrilla fighters in Afghanistan. His debut novel, SHANTARAM, is based on this ten-year period of his life in Bombay. The result is an epic tale of slums and five-star hotels, romantic love and prison torture, mafia gang wars and Bollywood films. A gripping adventure story, SHANTARAM is also a superbly written meditation on good and evil and an authentic evocation of Bombay life.
格里高利·大卫·罗伯兹（Gregory David Roberts），出生于澳大利亚墨尔本，他的“真实经历”比任何小说都更具传奇色彩，从学生时代就是个激进的运动分子，活跃于各种反战、反法西斯、反政府组织，深信自己可以改变世界。优异的天赋，使他成为大学中最年轻的哲学和文学讲师，却在25岁婚姻破裂，失去妻子，更失去5岁爱女的监护权。他选择用海洛因来填补生命中乍然到来的空洞，从一个理想主义者堕落为毒虫。

If fate doesn’t make you laugh, you just don’t get the joke. He and his people are so radiant.
