An autobiographical classic that narrates the incredible escape of a man who lived an authentic odyssey in pursuit of what he should never have lost: freedom. In 1931, Henri Charrière, nicknamed Papillon because of the butterfly tattoo on his chest, was sentenced to prison for a murder he did not commit. Sentenced to life imprisonment in a penal colony in French Guiana, he had only one goal in mind: to escape. After several failed escape attempts over the years, he was sent to the so-called Devil's Island, from where no inmate had ever escaped... until his arrival. Papillon's struggle for freedom remains one of the most incredible feats that human ingenuity, perseverance, and courage have ever demonstrated. His story gave rise to this extraordinary autobiography, the odyssey of an innocent man in pursuit of what he should never have lost: freedom. Reviews: «A modern classic of courage.» «An extraordinary adventure story.» |
