Papillon - first US edition
by Henri Charrière
The true saga of a Frenchman sent to the penal colony in French Guiana in 1935 at the
age of 25. Charrière attempted 3 escapes before finally finding sanctuary in Venezuela in 1945. A vivid
portrayal of life inside the penal settlements.
This was made into a very good movie starring Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffmann.
