Some books are simply destined for success. Henri Charrière's autobiographical novel Papillon became a bestseller immediately after its publication in 1969. In the first three years after its release, approximately 10 million copies of the book were printed. Filmmakers were ready to fight for the rights to adapt it. In 1973, Franklin Schaffner's film based on Charrière's book premiered (starring Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman), now rightfully considered a cinematic classic.
The author of this story, Henri Charrière, nicknamed Papillon, was convicted of murder at the age of twenty-five and sentenced to life imprisonment. But it was then that his most fantastic adventure began. In a penal servitude in French Guiana, he endured incredible trials, repeatedly escaping death by the skin of his teeth. The instinct for survival and an indomitable desire for freedom helped him eventually find freedom.
