Description
Un prófugo de una prisión de alta seguridad en Australia y llega a Bombay dejando tras de sí toda su vida anterior: una ex - esposa y una hija de la cual ha perdido su custodia. Su nombre es Lin, pero pronto será conocido como Shantaram, el hombre de la paz de Dios. En Bombay conoce a Prabaker, su guía hindú, poseedor de una eterna sonrisa que le hace ganarse a todo el mundo. Prabaker le enseña a hablar hindú y marathi y lo sumerge en el Bombay turística y en el desconocido Bombay de los bajos fondos. Durantes este viaje conocerá a la hermosa y peligrosa, Karla, que ocultará un oscuro pasado y de la que, cómo no puede ser de otra manera, se enamorará perdidamente. La novela combina el relato épico con pasajes de gran belleza, humor y sensibilidad a la vez que conmueve la mente y el corazón e induce a la reflexión. Es por otra parte, un gran homenaje literario a Bombay.
