Henri Charrière, called ""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 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.

Viss spoilervarning: Hade läst många hyllningar av den här boken och den kritik som förekommer handlar i regel om dess påstått bristande överensstämmelse med verkliga förhållanden. Om så väk vore att detta vore det största problemet skulle den väl gå att ta sig igenom. Men tyvärr håller den också för det mesta usel litterär kvalitet som mer liknar en narcissistisk mytomans repetitiva skrävlande än något annat. Det framgår aldrig varför Papillon genomgående mottas som självklsr ledare och, i somliga fall, messiasgestalt, var han än träder på sin otroliga rymmarbana. Att bli fängslad ter sig enbart som smärre förvecklingar i ”Papis” storslagna levnad. Droppen som fick mig att lägga ner boken var när han hamnar hos en infördingsstam och med oreflekterad självklarhet mottas som konung samt blir älskare åt den snyggaste tjejen. Vill du läsa en bra pojkboksfantasi rekommenderas till exempel ”Skattkammarön”; Papillon saknar själ och inmehåll. Okej uppläsare räddar den från en stjärna..
