Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First edition. FIRST EDITION, SIGNED AND INSCRIBED BY ROBERTS ON THE TITLE PAGE: "May all those you love find the truth in you and be true to your love. November 2003 Gregory David Roberts" "In 1980, while serving a 19-year sentence for robbery in Australia, Roberts escaped from prison and fled to India, spending a decade on the lam before he was recaptured and extradited. As Australia's most wanted man -- or so he describes himself in this fictionalized account of his years in Bombay -- Roberts was a larger-than-life figure in his native country long before 'Shantaram' made him a best-selling author" (Megan O'Grady, The New York Times).â "Shantaram is a novel of the first order, a work of extraordinary art, a thing of exceptional beauty. If someone asked me what the book was about, I would have to say everything, every thing in the world. Gregory David Roberts does for Bombay what Lawrence Durrell did for Alexandria, what Melville did for the South Seas, and what Thoreau did for Walden Pond: He makes it an eternal player in the literature of the world" (Pat Conroy).â Melbourne: Scribe Publications, 2003. Thick octavo, original red cloth, original dust jacket. A fine copy. Note: This rare Australian first edition, first issue (with "Scribe" not in parenthesis on rear jacket flap), precedes all other editions. original cloth, original dust jacket.

SIGNED & INSCRIBED by author Gregory David Roberts in black ink on half-title page: "Linda, whose eyes race her lips to the smile and always win, and win our hearts as well. With love, Greg Roberts, August 2003". The florid inscription covers most of the page. The invitation is dated 9 August 2003, so presumably inscribed by the author at the book's launch. The FIRST AUSTRALIAN EDITION with all first edition points, as follows: facsimile handwriting to rear panel of dustjacket (the author's longhand version of the book's first paragraph); the words 'Scribe' and 'Melbourne' NOT in brackets on the rear inner dustjacket flap (the word 'Melbourne' does not appear below 'Scribe' in the reprint); close-up b&w photo of author in white shirt on rear inner dustjacket flap; copyright page states "First published in Australia and New Zealand by Scribe Publications 2003" (& no additional reprint details, nor numbers indicating print run). In the reprints the bold brackets were added to the word 'Scribe' on the rear inner dustjacket flap, plus the photograph of the author is a different shot from the first printing (the reprint shows the author face-on with a slight smile, whereas for the first edition the author has turned his head toward the camera & is not smiling).
