Sentenced to life imprisonment in the penal colony of French Guiana, he became obsessed with one goal: <i>escape</i>. 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. </p> <p> Charrière's astonishing autobiography, <i>Papillon</i>, 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. </p> 1289201 1970 Papillon total:1931|5:768|4:726|3:344|2:79|1:14| 1931 7948 2669 248 6882 0061120669 9780061120664 1661 202 4.12 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1165604798m/6882.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6882.Papillon 4 9 false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2000 Tue Sep 11 11:49:59 -0700 2007 Wed Jun 25 14:13:45 -0700 2008 more...]]> 6882 0061120669 9780061120664 1661 202 4.12 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1165604798m/6882.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6882.Papillon 2 3 false Fri Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Mon Aug 27 10:20:00 -0700 2007 Wed Aug 29 07:36:41 -0700 2007 more...]]> 6882 0061120669 9780061120664 1661 202 4.12 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1165604798m/6882.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6882.Papillon 4 3 false Thu Oct 23 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Mon Sep 29 13:56:59 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 23 06:28:46 -0700 2008
