Shantharam. A set of 2 volumes. Roberts G.D.

We present to the reader one of the most striking novels of the early 21st century. This confession of a person who managed to get out of the abyss and survive in an artistic form rammed all the lists of bestseller 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 was hiding from the law for many years. Deprived of parental rights after divorce from his wife, he added to drugs, committed a number of robberies and was sentenced by the Australian court to nineteen years in prison. Having fled in the second year from a maximum security prison, he got to Bombay, where he was a counterfeiter and smugglers, traded weapons and participated in the showdowns of the Indian mafia, and also found his true love to lose it again to find it again...

The first volume included the first three parts of five novels. The second volume included the fourth and fifth parts of the novel.
