Papillon (Harper Perennial Modern Classics)
A classic memoir of prison breaks and adventure – a bestselling phenomenon of the 1960s
Papillon
Hanya ada satu aturan: keheningan absolut. Tidak boleh ada interaksi, tidak boleh ada percakapan. Penjara tidak “melunakkan”, penjara bertugas menghancurkan—fisik dan mental. Meracuni benak, menindas harapan, hingga tidak ada lagi yang tersisa selain rasa takut, dan kematian menjadi pilihan yang lebih masuk akal. Kabur dari neraka berjeruji itu menjadi satu-satunya tujuan hidup Henri Charrière. Berkali-kali gagal, berkali-kali kembali tertangkap, tetap tak melunturkan tekadnya mendapatkan kebebasan. “Aku harus membuktikan bahwa aku bisa, bahwa aku adalah, dan akan menjadi manusia normal. Barangkali tidak lebih baik, tetapi yang jelas tidak lebih buruk daripada yang lain.” Kisah perjuangan hidup Henri dituangkan dalam buku sensasional ini, yang terjual lebih dari 1,5 juta kopi di Prancis sejak perilisannya.

Papillon
“A modern classic of courage and excitement.” —The New Yorker • The source for the iconic prison-escape film starring Steve McQueen Henri 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
