Papillón es la única obra autobiográfica de Henri Charrière, un relato de aventuras y huidas milagrosas. El libro narra la vida de Charrière, plagada de abusos y pérdidas, y ofrece una perspectiva de la brutalidad policial y la ineficacia de un sistema jurídico que aísla a los delincuentes en lugares remotos. La historia, que abarca 30 años, ha sido objeto de debate sobre su veracidad.

Henri Charrière was a French writer who was convicted of murder in 1931 by the French courts and pardoned in 1970. He wrote the 1969 novel Papillon, a memoir of his incarceration in and escape from a penal colony in French Guiana. While Charrière claimed that Papillon was largely true, modern researchers believe that much of the book's material came from other inmates, rather than Charrière himself. Charrière denied committing the murder, although he freely admitted to having committed various other petty crimes prior to his incarceration.
