Papillon
Papillon is a memoir by Henri Charriere. It was published in 1970, 25 years after the events of the book. It was translated into English from the original French by author Patrick O'Brian. It has been described as an autobiographical novel or a fictional novel by critics, but Charrière always maintained that the account was accurate and true. The book's title is Charriere's nickname, derived from a butterfly tattoo on his chest (papillon being the French word for butterfly).
