Papillon

The true story that inspired the film starring Charlie Hunnam and Rami Malek. Henri Charrière, nicknamed Papillon for having a butterfly tattooed on his chest, is sentenced to life in prison for a murder he didn't commit. From France, he is sent to a penal colony in French Guiana. There, only one thought crosses his mind: escape. Just forty-two days after arriving at the colony, he makes his first attempt, crossing over a thousand miles of open sea in a small boat. Recaptured, he is sent to solitary confinement and, finally, to Devil's Island, from which no one has ever escaped... until he makes his final attempt. One of the most impressive and realistic stories in all of literature, Papillon tells the story of a man who refused to be defeated.
