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.

上瘾的需求逼使他拿着仿造手枪，以全套西装打扮、温和的谈吐、礼貌的举止，去抢劫银行，因而获得“绅士大盗”（The Gentleman Bandit）的封号。被捕后，24次的抢劫纪录换来19年徒刑。两年半后，罗伯兹于光天化日下逃出澳大利亚最戒备森严的重刑监狱，短暂停留新西兰，然后流亡印度。

这段长达八年的印度流亡岁月，便成了《项塔兰》最真实的蓝本。1991年他...
