About this product

Product Information

"A modern classic of courage and excitement." --The New Yorker * The source for the iconic prison-escape film starring Steve McQueen Henri Charrière, nicknamed "Papillon," for the butterfly tattoo on his chest, was convicted in Paris in 1931 of a murder he did not commit. Sentenced to life imprisonment in the penal colony of French Guiana, he became obsessed with one goal: escape. After planning and executing a series of treacherous yet failed attempts over many years, he was eventually sent to the notorious prison, Devil's Island, a place from which no one had ever escaped . . . until Papillon. His flight to freedom remains one of the most incredible feats of human cunning, will, and endurance ever undertaken. Charrière's astonishing autobiography, Papillon, was first published in France to instant acclaim in 1968, more than twenty years after his final escape. Since then, it has become a treasured classic--the gripping, shocking, ultimately uplifting odyssey of an innocent man who would not be defeated. "A first-class adventure story." -- New York Review of Books

    Papillon by Henri Charriere

    Papillon, is the true-life adventure story of Henri Charriere. He was given a life sentence in 1931 for a murder he didn’t commit. In 1933, he was transferred to the penal colony in French Guiana. Here is the story of: his nine escape attempts (and sometimes brutal re-captures), a detailed look at life inside the penal colony, his confinement in solitary, his transfer to Devil’s Island and eventual escape, and finally his freedom. You’ll meet many colorful characters and see how people cope with these extreme situations. The movie that was based on this book does show some of what’s in this book, but the movie changed quite a bit of the real story. I found it entertaining, educational, colorful, but sad to see so much of his life wasted in confinement. Papillon finds his freedom at the end ...

    Papillion

    I have read this story several times over the years so I wanted my own copy. I want to get a butterfly tattoo and will some day. This story is a classic and was made into a movie. The movie doesn't really follow the book well.
