Reading

I am have been reading Papillon, a very good book. The author is named Henri Charriére, a french lad. Papillon in french, means butterfly, and the author, used to be nicknamed papillon, for he had a butterfly tattoed to his chest. The book is real, and papillon tells his story through full details. It starts when he is convicted for a murder he swears he didn't commit. He admits have commited other murders, however, not that one. He is first sent to a prison in France, where he goes to the solitaire, even though he didn't do anything, and remains there for 45 days. After he gets out, the director of the prison curses him, beats him, and asks him: " Anything you want to say now, Papillon?", and as a man of dignity, he replies " I now want to spit at your face. The only reason i don't, is because i would get my spit dirty." So he is beaten up, neraly to death and then sent to the solitaire again. In the middle of the trips between solitaire-directors office, he meets Dega, a person who would later be one of his best friends. The jury decides to convict him forever, and then he is sent to French Guinea. After a good planning, he flees, and from the french guinea, he reaches colombia, in a little boat. However, he has to go to land, and the people from colombia, capture him. He then is sent back to French Guinea, however, this time, he goes to the devils island, and is sent to a small island from there, where he spends two years of reclusion. He mentioned speaking to someone four times in two years. When he goes back to the salvation islands, he meets Dega, Galgani, Maturette, and other friends. He trys to flee once more, and the escape would have worked if it wasn't for a man who tattle taled them the day before the escape. He then was convicted for eight years in reclusion, which were diminished to one year and a half, for he risked his life with the sharks, to save one of the guards daughters. He is now back to the salvation islands again, and wants to escape, however, the commander of the prison asked him to try in at least a month, for in a month he will be retired. So Papillon, is waiting for another chance. If you have the chance, read it, for it is an excellent book.
