What is Shantaram book?
Shantaram is a 2003 novel by Gregory David Roberts, in which a convicted Australian bank robber and heroin addict escapes from Pentridge Prison and flees to India. The novel is commended by many for its vivid portrayal of tumultuous life in Bombay in the early to late 80s.
Is Shantaram a movie?
Shantaram is an upcoming drama thriller television series based on the novel of the same name by Gregory David Roberts. The story drew inspiration from Roberts’ own life which is about a bank robber from Australia who flees the country to India.
Is the book Shantaram a true story?
David Gregory Roberts calls “Shantaram” a novel, but it is strongly autobiographical, concentrating on his life in Bombay from 1981 to 1987. Some characters have been disguised or blended, but he insists that the key events are authentic.
How many chapters does Shantaram have?
Like Marmite, or Vegemite – another Australian export – you either loved this book or hated it. I hated it. I really, really hated it. It was a waste of my life enduring five chapters of this egotistical drivel by someone who thought their life was 933-pages worth of importance.
Is Shantaram worth the read?
It’s a long book to read, and even so I recommend giving it a read as it may give you a different perception of life. Although some events may seem larger than life, Shantaram is bold, lyrical and philosophical.
