THE MOUNTAIN SHADOW

Roberts, Gregory David

Εκδότης Little Brown , ISBN 9780349121703


The first glimpse of the sea on Marine Drive filled my heart, if not my head. I turned away from the red shadow. I stopped thinking of that pyramid of killers, and Sanjay's improvidence. I stopped thinking about my own part in the madness. And I rode, with my friends, into the end of everything.



Shantaram introduced millions of readers to a cast of unforgettable characters through Lin, an Australian fugitive, working as a passport forger for a branch of the Bombay mafia. In The Mountain Shadow, the long-awaited sequel, Lin must find his way in a Bombay run by a different generation of mafia dons, playing by a different set of rules.



It has been two years since the events in Shantaram, and since Lin lost two people he had come to love: his father figure, Khaderbhai, and his soul mate, Karla, married to a handsome Indian media tycoon. Lin returns from a smuggling trip to a city that seems to have changed too much, too soon. Many of his old friends are long gone, the new mafia leadership has become entangled in increasingly violent and dangerous intrigues, and a fabled holy man challenges everything that Lin thought he'd learned about love and life. But Lin can't leave the Island City: Karla, and a fatal promise, won't let him go.

Συγγραφέας

O Γκρέγκορι Ντέιβιντ Ρόμπερτς γεννήθηκε στη Μελβούρνη το 1952. Από το 1972 έως το 1975 είναι ένας από τους ηγέτες του φοιτητικού κινήματος. Το 1977 διαπράττει την πρώτη του ληστεία μ' ένα ψεύτικο πιστόλι. Το 1978 συλλαμβάνεται και την ίδια χρονιά δραπετεύει από τη φυλακή του Πέντριτζ. Το 1982 βρίσκεται στη Βομβάη και λίγους μήνες μετά πυκνώνει τις τάξεις των Μουτζαχεντίν στο Αφγανιστάν, όπου τραυματίζεται στη μάχη και μεταφέρεται στο Πακιστάν. Το 1990 συλλαμβάνεται στη Φραγκφούρτη και φυλακίζεται στο σωφρονιστικό κατάστημα υψίστης ασφαλείας του Πρόινγκεσάιμ. Εκδόθηκε στις αρχές της Αυστραλίας όπου εξέτισε την υπόλοιπη ποινή του. Τα χρόνια στην Αυστραλία γράφει το "Σανταράμ", το οποίο γνωρίζει φανατικούς αναγνώστες σ' όλες τις χώρες όπου εκδίδεται.
