Synopsis
Henri Charriere was a Frenchman who was convicted in 1931 of a murder he did not commit. Sentenced to life imprisonment, he spent 12 years in the penal colony of French Guiana. After eight unsuccessful attempts to escape, he finally got away to Venezuela. More than 20 years later, when he was 60, Charriere wrote this story. Told in a spontaneous, straightforward style, PAPILLON became an international best seller and was made into a popular motion picture.

A classic memoir of prison breaks and adventure a bestselling phenomenon of the 1960s Condemned for a murder he had not committed, Henri Charriere (nicknamed Papillon) was sent to the penal colony of French Guiana.

In thirteen years he made nine daring escapes, living through many fantastic adventures while on the run including a sojourn with South American Indians whose women Papillon found welcomely free of European restraints Papillon is filled with tension, adventure and high excitement.
