Beschreibung

"A modern classic of courage and excitement." --The New Yorker Soon to be a Major Motion Picture Starring Charlie Hunnam and Rami MalekHenri Charrière, nicknamed "Papillon," for the butterfly tattoo on his chest, was convicted in Paris in 1931 of a murder he did not commit. Sentenced to life imprisonment in the penal colony of French Guiana, he became obsessed with one goal: escape. 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.Charrière's astonishing autobiography, Papillon, was first 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."A first-class adventure story." -- New York Review of Books

Den Film hatte ich Jahre zuvor gesehen und er bleibt ebenfalls ein Klassiker, wobei es auch genügend abweichende Herausstellungsmerkmale gibt. Autobiographische Elemente, ob vom Autor selbst (oder Mitgefangenen spielt für mich keine Rolle), gepaart mit Fakten und Fantasie, lassen ein Meisterwerk der Gefängnisromane entstehen. Sehr empfehlenswert.

Interessante Geschichte, aber…

…dass sich Fiktives / Geschichten von anderen Häftlingen mit seiner vermischen, macht das Buch schlechter …die Sprache, insbesondere im letzten Abschnitt, einfach übel menschenverachtend ist (ungefähr 50 Mal das N-Wort)

The writing style took me while to get into, and i was very close to a dnf, but I wanted to know how the story ends. This book is very different to what I normally read and at first i didn't understand why i didn't like it. But then it hit me: it lacks emotions. This book is a pure representation of events without a change of tone and that's just not for me.
