Papillon es una emocionante autobiografía de Henri Charrière, un hombre injustamente condenado por asesinato en París en 1931. Apodado "Papillon" por el tatuaje de mariposa en su pecho, es sentenciado a cadena perpetua en la colonia penal de la Guayana Francesa. Obsesionado con escapar, planea y ejecuta numerosos intentos a lo largo de los años, hasta que es enviado a la prisión de la Isla del Diablo, de la cual nadie ha escapado jamás. Su increíble historia de fuga es un testimonio del ingenio, la voluntad y la resistencia humana. Publicada en Francia en 1968, esta obra se ha convertido en un clásico, narrando la odisea de un hombre inocente que se niega a ser derrotado.
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.
