The Mountain Shadow

Autor Gregory David Roberts
en Paperback – 9 iun 2026
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.

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

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.

Recenzii

A kind of gangster's Shakespeare
Roberts is brilliant at creating a sense of menace and projecting the constant tension of the escaped convict... crucially, he is also a man who loves and understands India... Nearly 900 pages of pure escape
Evocative... shines a light into the shadowy corners of society and our darkest desires
Profound meditations on the nature of life, time, ambition, evil, love and everything else that matters
An unlikely publishing sensation... [Roberts] has undeniably created a genuine universe, a teeming underbelly of larger-than-life characters
Re-immerse yourself in his vibrant and captivating world of love, friendship, and anger... Roberts' latest will take readers on an adventure just as epic in scope and feeling
Roberts's sequel to Shantaram defies easy categorization, one of its many charms. The dashing hero Lin, an Australian fugitive, is worldly, two-fisted, rides a motorcycle, has a social conscience, quotes great writers and, as the book opens, struggles bravely to get over his lost love, Karla... He narrates his interactions with many larger-than-life street types in an energetic and often salty first person... Roberts keeps the action moving and the narrative engaging... This series of robust, retro capers with contemporary trappings will have readers feverishly turning the pages
