Henri CHARRIERE Papillon

Henri CHARRIERE

Papillon

Robert Laffont, Paris 1969, 15,5x23,5cm, relié.


first edition for which it was not drawn from large papers.
Bradel binding in full marbled paper, smooth back, piece of black morocco title, rereading signed Thomas Boichot.
Jean-François Revel's Papillon or Oral Literature follows the text.
Henri Charrière, dit Papillon, ward of the nation and petty criminal, had been sentenced to prison in 1931 for a murder he has always denied. Over thirty years later, he recounts his terrible experience in this autobiographical text. He describes the violence, injustice, illnesses or attempts to escape, crowned by years of exile in South America: "Pure of all contact, note its editor, and of any literary ambition, what he writes it is “as he tells you”, we see it, we feel it, we live it […]. "The book was a huge success before being made into a film with Steve McQueen in the lead role.
Beautiful autograph shipment dated and signed on full page, and almost devoid of punctuation, from Henri Charrière to a friend he calls Ray: "Ray. To Ray, you who spend your life in the midst of the people of the Opera, the beautiful chores the beautiful girls the beautiful decorations you will in this book know the plight of a man in "the path of rot" I really like your personality (sic) the light of your eyes and the fine tone (illegible word) of a woman with the soul of a girl Your friend Butterfly 26.10.69 "
