Sentenced to life imprisonment in the brutal French Guiana penal colony, 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 in this true story of survival remains one of the most incredible feats of human cunning, will, and endurance ever undertaken. Charrière's astonishing adventure memoir, 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 How does a man framed for murder survive the world’s most notorious penal colony and plot an escape from a place no one has ever escaped before?
