Henri Charriere, called "Papillon" for the butterfly tattoo on his breasts, was convicted in Paris in 1931 of any murder he didn't commit. Sentenced to life imprisonment in the penal colony of French Guiana, he became obsessed with one goal: escape. After planning and executing some treacherous yet failed efforts over a long time, he was eventually sent to the notorious prison Devil's Island, a place from which no-one had ever escaped - until Papillon. His air travel to freedom remains one of the most amazing feats of individuals cunning, will, and endurance ever undertaken. Papillon, Charriere's astonishing autobiography, was publicized 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, surprising, eventually uplifting odyssey associated with an innocent man who not be defeated.
