«For the first time in Russian — the long-awaited sequel to one of the most striking novels of the early 21st century.
«Shantaram» was a refracted in artistic form confession of a man who managed to get out of the abyss and survive, which sold four million copies around the world (half a million of them in Russia) and deserved rave comparisons with the works of the best writers of the new time, from Melville to Hemingway. The venerable Jonathan Carroll wrote: “A person whom“ Shantaram ”will not touch to the depths of his soul, either does not have a heart, or is dead …“ Shantaram ”is the“ Thousand and One Nights ”of our century. This is an invaluable gift for everyone who loves to read. » And finally, GD Roberts wrote the continuation of the story of Lin, nicknamed Shantaram, who escaped from an Australian maximum security prison and became a counterfeiter and smuggler in Bombay.
So, two years have passed since Lin lost two people closest to him: Kaderbhai, the leader of the mafia who died in the Afghan mountains, and Karla, a mysterious, longed-for beauty who married a Bombay media mogul. Now Lin has to fulfill the last assignment given to him by Kaderbhai, to win the trust of the sage living on the mountain, to save his head in the uncontrollably flaring up conflict of the new mafia leaders, but the main thing is to find love and faith. «
