Shantaram, libro di Gregory David Roberts, edito da Neri Pozza. Il bus della scalcagnata Veterans' Bus Service, una compagnia di veterani dell'esercito indiano, è appena arrivato al capolinea di Colaba, la zona di Bombay dove si concentrano gli alberghi a buon mercato. Greg è il primo a mettere piede sul predellino e a farsi largo tra la folla di faccendieri, venditori di droga e trafficanti d'ogni genere in attesa davanti alla portiera. Ha una chitarra a tracolla, un passaporto falso in tasca e un turbinio di pensieri ed emozioni in testa. Nel tragitto dall'aeroporto a Colaba ha pensato di essere sbarcato in una città dopo una catastrofe. Davanti ai suoi occhi si è spalancata una distesa sterminata di miserabili rifugi fatti di stracci, fogli di plastica e carta, stuoie e stecchi di bambù. In preda allo stupore, Greg ha visto donne bellissime avvolte in stoffe azzurre e dorate incedere a piedi nudi in quella rovina, e uomini dai denti candidi e dagli occhi a mandorla, bambini dalle membra incredibilmente aggraziate. Ovunque, poi, aleggiava un odore acre e intenso. Quell'odore in cui, a Bombay, fiuti di colpo l'aroma del mare e il metallo delle macchine, il trambusto, il sonno, la lotta per la vita, i fallimenti e gli amori di milioni di esseri umani. Greg è un uomo in fuga. Dopo la separazione dalla moglie e l'allontanamento dalla sua bambina, la vita si è trasformata per lui in un abisso senza fine. Era un giovane studioso di filosofia e un brillante attivista politico all'università di Melbourne, è diventato «un rivoluzionario che ha soffocato i propri ideali nell'eroina», un «filosofo che ha smarrito l'integrità nel crimine», uno dei «most wanted men» australiani, condannato a 19 anni di carcere per una lunga serie di rapine a mano armata, catturato e scappato dal carcere di massima sicurezza di Pentridge. Eccolo ora a Bombay, nel bizzarro assortimento della sua folla, con i documenti di un certo Linsday in tasca e una strana esilarante gioia nel cuore A Bombay, infatti, il destino ha calato per Greg la sua carta.

It took me a long time and most of the world to learn what I know about love and fate and the choices we make, but the heart of it came to me in an instant, while I was chained to a wall and being tortured.So begins this epic, mesmerizing first novel by Gregory David Roberts, set in the underworld of contemporary Bombay. Shantaram is narrated by Lin, an escaped convict with a false passport who flees maximum security prison in Australia for the teeming streets of a city where he can disappear.Accompanied by his guide and faithful friend, Prabaker, the two enter Bombay's hidden society of beggars and gangsters, prostitutes and holy men, soldiers and actors, and Indians and exiles from other countries, who seek in this remarkable place what they cannot find elsewhere.As a hunted man without a home, family, or identity, Lin searches for love and meaning while running a clinic in one of the city's poorest slums, and serving his apprenticeship in the dark arts of the Bombay mafia. The search leads him to war, prison torture, murder, and a series of enigmatic and bloody betrayals. The keys to unlock the mysteries and intrigues that bind Lin are held by two people. The first is Khader Khan: mafia godfather, criminal-philosopher-saint, and mentor to Lin in the underworld of the Golden City. The second is Karla: elusive, dangerous, and beautiful, whose passions are driven by secrets that torment her and yet give her a terrible power.Burning slums and five-star hotels, romantic love and prison agonies, criminal wars and Bollywood films, spiritual gurus and mujaheddin guerrillas—-this huge novel has the world of human experience in its reach, and a passionate love for India at its heart. Based on the life of the author, it is by any measure the debut of an extraordinary voice in literature.
