THE BRITISH POSTMODERN VICTORIAN NOVEL OF THE YEAR Это — самый кинематографичный роман
на английском, который я читал за последние несколько лет, пожалуй,
самый захватывающий в художественном смысле, определенно, ЛУЧШИЙ РОМАН
ГОДА. Читайте его на английском. Я прочитал сотни книг на английском,

The
truth is that, no matter what kind of game you find yourself in, no
matter how good or bad the luck, you can change your life completely
with a single thought or a single act of love. For this is what we
do. Put one foot forward and then the other. Lift our eyes to the snarl
and smile of the world once more. Think. Act. Feel. Add our little
consequence to the tides of good and evil that flood and drain the
world. Drag our shadowed crosses into the hope of another night. Push
our brave hearts into the promise of a new day. With love: the
passionate search for a truth other than our own. With longing: the
pure, ineffable yearning to be saved. For so long as fate keeps
waiting, we live on. God help us. God forgive us. We live on.
"Shantaram" by Gregory Roberts
