Papillon I es la primera parte de la autobiografía del autor francés Henri Charrière, en la que relata sus experiencias como prisionero en la Guayana Francesa tras ser condenado por un asesinato que siempre negó haber cometido. El libro narra sus numerosos intentos de fuga y las duras condiciones de vida en las cárceles coloniales, así como su lucha por mantener la esperanza y la dignidad en un entorno hostil. Una historia de supervivencia, amistad y la búsqueda incansable de la libertad.
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.
