Henri Charrière
-
1933. Le marteau tombe. Perpétuité. Henri Charrière dit " Papillon ", petit caïd montmartrois injustement accusé de meurtre, prend, via Cayenne, " le chemin de la pourriture ". Épinglé, Papillon. Mais pas résigné. Au bagne, c'est l'enfer. La réclusion, les privations, les requins, les matons... Il faut s'évader, à tout prix. En radeau, à la nage, qu'importe. Treize ans d'enfer, deux cavales plus tard et Papillon s'envole pour la liberté.
Préface de Jean-Jacques Brochier
Postface de Jean-François Revel -
The sensational sequel to ''Papillon''. ''Banco'' continues the adventures of Henri Charriere - nicknamed Papillon - in Venezuela, where he has finally won his freedom after thirteen years of escape and imprisonment. Despite his resolve to become an honest man, Charriere is soon involved in hair-raiding exploits with goldminers, gamblers, bank-robbers and revolutionaries - robbing and being robbed, his lust for life as strong as ever. He also runs night clubs in Caracas until an earthquake ruins him in 1967 - when he decides to write the book that brings his international fame.
