Shantaram (2003) is Gregory David Roberts’ best-known book, a sprawling novel based on his years as an Australian fugitive in Bombay. The story follows a man who escapes prison, flees to India, and builds a new life in the city’s slums, eventually getting drawn into counterfeiting, war, and the Bombay underworld. The Mountain Shadow (2015) picks up where Shantaram left off.
The Spiritual Path (2021) shifts from fiction to philosophy, reflecting on questions of meaning and purpose that run through Roberts’ earlier work.
